NCT03513471 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2021-05-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of anakinra as a rescue treatment for allergic airway inflammation. Utilizing an inhaled allergen challenge model, the investigators will determine the effectiveness of a single 1 mg/kg dose of anakinra administered after inhaled allergen challenge for mitigating features of airway inflammation.

Participants: 12 mild allergic asthmatics sensitized to Dermatophagoides farinae (D. farinae)

Procedures (methods): Eligible subjects will participate in a double blind cross-over study. Following randomization to the placebo or anakinra treatment group, subjects will undergo inhalation of D. farinae, and their early and late phase asthmatic responses will be measured. Subjects will undergo induced sputum sampling, methacholine challenge, and mucociliary clearance measures. After completion of period 1, subjects will cross over to the alternate study arm.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Anakinra

A single 1mg/kg subcutaneous injection (up to 100mg) of anakinra will be administered at the onset of the EPR, directly after the allergen challenge, to model anakinra use in an emergency care setting.

OTHER

Anakinra Matching Placebo

A single dose of matching placebo will be administered at the onset of the EPR, directly after the allergen challenge, to model anakinra use in an emergency care setting.

DRUG

Dermatophagoides Farinae

Standardized house dust mite Dermatophagoides farinae (D. farinae) allergen extract at 30,000 allergen units (AU)/mL for inhalation (provided by Greer Laboratories, Lenoir, NC).
