Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Diagnosis

Determine the sensitivity and specificity of the different concentrations of each of the allergenic extracts (D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae), as well as other parameters (efficiency, positive and negative predictive value, and probability ratio of a positive and negative test) that will be used for the prick test.

Secondary objectives 2

1. 1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of the D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae allergenic extracts
2. 2. To determine the allergenic profile (ALEX technique) of each participant.

Conditions and MedDRA coding

Allergy to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 12

1. 1. Participants who have signed and dated the informed consent form.
2. 2. Participants aged between 12 and 70 years, both sexes included.
3. 3. Positive prick test with the positive control (histamine dihydrochloride at 10 mg/mL). The mean wheal diameter induced by this control must be ≥ 3 mm.
4. 4. Negative prick test with the negative control. The mean wheal diameter induced by this control must be < 3 mm.
5. 5. Women of childbearing age (from menarche to postmenopause, defined as the absence of menstruation for 12 months without an alternative medical cause, or not undergoing permanent sterilization methods, such as hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy) must present a negative urine pregnancy test and confirmation of their last menstrual period at the time of enrollment in the trial.
6. 6. Women of childbearing age must commit to using a highly effective and adequate contraception method during the trial and up to 72 hours after the end of treatment with the investigational medicinal product. Such methods include combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal; contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal or transdermal), progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable or implantable), intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner or sexual abstinence.
7. 7. (CH+) Positive clinical history of inhalant allergy (rhinitis and/or rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma) to D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae.
8. 8. (CH+) Positive prick test (mean wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm) to a standardized extract of D. pteronyssinus and a standardized extract of D. farinae.
9. 9. (CH+) Specific IgE with a value > 0.35 kU/L to whole extract of D. pteronyssinus and whole extract of D. farinae.
10. 10. (CH-) Positive clinical history of inhalant allergy (rhinitis and/or rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma) to other perennial allergens or pollens, but not to D. pteronyssinus and D. farinae.
11. 11. (CH-) Negative prick test (mean wheal diameter < 3 mm) to a standardized extract of D. pteronyssinus and a standardized extract of D. farinae.
12. 12. (CH-) Specific IgE with a value < 0.35 kU/L to an extract of D. pteronyssinus and an extract of D. farinae.

Exclusion criteria 12

1. 1. Participants with active urticaria lesions, severe active dermographism, severe atopic dermatitis, sunburn, eczema, psoriasis lesions in the area where the prick test is performed (risk of false positives).
2. 2. Participants with significant symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis and/or bronchial asthma in whom discontinuation of systemic antihistamine treatment is contraindicated.
3. 3. Participants who have previously exhibited a severe adverse reaction during diagnostic skin prick testing.
4. 4. Participants with active viral infection by herpes simplex or herpes zoster in the area where the prick test is performed.
5. 5. Participants who are clinically unstable at the time of inclusion in the trial (acute asthma, fever, etc.).
6. 6. Participants with any severe psychiatric disorder.
7. 7. Participants on treatment with beta-blockers.
8. 8. Use of drugs that may interfere with the skin response (e.g., antihistamines) (see Section 8.6.1).
9. 9. Participants with any condition in which the administration of adrenaline is contraindicated (hyperthyroidism, hypertension, heart disease, etc.).
10. 10. Participants with a known allergy to phenol.
11. 11. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
12. 12. (CH+) Participants who have received previous immunotherapy in the last 5 years or are being treated with an allergen extract of D. pteronyssinus and/or D. farinae.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

1. Area (mm²) of wheals induced by different concentrations of the D. pteronyssinus allergen extract and the D. farinae allergen extract, as well as the areas of wheals induced by the positive control and negative control, using the prick test

Secondary endpoints 2

1. - Safety parameters: • Overall rate, seriousness, and ratio of any adverse event (AE) by administration and by subject • Assessment of administration site reactions, systemic reactions and any medication administered for the treatment of adverse reaction (AR)
2. - Allergen profiling (ALEX technique)
