Feasibility Study of a New Immunoglobulin E (IgE) Assay Method

Study Purpose

The main objective is to study the feasibility of a new specific IgE assay using a bioluminescence technique in a pediatric and adult allergic population. For this, we will collect blood, and urine during a blood test scheduled for the follow-up of the patient.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Observational
Eligible Ages 6 Months - 99 Years
Gender All

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04751760
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Allergy and Immunology
Additional Details

Allergy is a raising public health problem. Specific IgE assays are useful tools to investigate the physiopathology of allergies. This method is achieved mainly by the ImmunoCAP enzyme immunoassay technique. This is an expensive test that requires a significant amount of blood. This is a limitation particularly in children. The time to get the results is long and a second consultation has to be scheduled in order to communicate the results to the patients. The main objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of a new specific IgE assay, named LuLISA, using a bioluminescence technique in urine and blood samples from pediatric and adult allergic population. This technique was recently published for the quantification of IgE against two peanut allergens and needs to be extended for the detection of other major allergens. A secondary objective is the evaluation of the time needed to obtain results.
