Study summary

The purpose of this study is to see how healthy people and leprosy patients react to 2 new skin tests for detecting leprosy. The study will evaluate the new skin tests that may aid in measuring the number of people exposed to leprosy and enable its diagnosis and treatment at an earlier stage. Participant's ages 18-60 living in Kathmandu, Nepal will be enrolled. Stages A and B of the study will use the skin test in healthy volunteers. Stage C will use the skin test in high risk volunteers (including individuals with leprosy), healthy individuals in contact with leprosy patients and individuals with tuberculosis (TB, lung disease). Study procedures will include injections, physical exam, and blood testing. Injection sites will be checked several times during the participant's study involvement (5 hours of time spread over approximately 1 month). Volunteers screened for the study, which have leprosy or tuberculosis will be treated or referred for treatment.

Read the detailed description

This double-blind Phase II clinical trial will be conducted in 3 stages to evaluate 2 new leprosy skin test antigens, Mycobacterium (M.) leprae Soluble Antigen (MLSA)-Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and M. leprae Cell Wall Antigen (MLCwA), as diagnostic-epidemiological tools designed to measure incidence of leprosy infection in Kathmandu, Nepal, a leprosy endemic area. Stage A will provide an initial indication of safety of the 2 new test antigens in 10 healthy members of the leprosy endemic population (5 subjects per antigen at 2 dosages each). Stage B will expand this analysis by an additional 90 healthy subjects (45 subjects per antigen). If any subjects in Stage A or B show ulcerations at the 1.0 mcg dose of MLSA-LAM or MLCwA test sites, then only the 0.1 mcg dose will be used for Stage C. The final stage, Stage C, is divided into 2 parts. The first part, Stage C-1, will assess safety of both antigens at the high dose (1.0 mcg) in populations at a higher risk of developing ulcerations at skin test sites. Eighty subjects will be recruited: 20 household contacts of Borderline Lepromatous Leprosy (BL) / Lepromatous Leprosy (LL) leprosy patients, 20 BL/LL leprosy patients, 20 Borderline Tuberculoid Leprosy (BT) / Tuberculoid Leprosy (TT) patients and 20 tuberculosis (TB) patients. The second part, Stage C-1b, is a continuation of Stage C-1 with the same number of subjects recruited from the same groups to assess the reactivity of both antigens at the low dose (0.1 mcg). This study will define a positive skin test reaction for MLSA-LAM and MLCwA, and this definition will be used in estimating sensitivity and specificity for each skin test antigen and dosage. It is expected that the BT/TT leprosy patients and healthy contacts of leprosy patients will have larger indurations at both M. leprae-derived antigen sites and a variable reaction at the tuberculin/Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) site. The non-contacts, BL/LL leprosy patients, and TB patients will have smaller indurations at all leprosy skin test sites and a variable reaction at the tuberculin/PPD site. Finally, the TB patients will react with a large induration at the tuberculin/PPD site. Primary study objectives are to evaluate safety of these 2 new leprosy skin test antigens and to estimate specificity and sensitivity of these skin test antigens in detecting M. leprae infection by: selecting a dosage of the MLSA-LAM and MLCwA antigens that causes minimal induration in healthy non-exposed subjects; selecting a size of induration that will serve as a definition of a positive skin test reaction for MLSA-LAM and MLCwA in leprosy patients; and comparing proportion of positive skin test reactors in healthy subjects to proportion in BT/TT and BL/LL leprosy patients, contacts of leprosy patients, and TB patients. Secondary study objectives are to compare mean size of induration in response to each test antigen in healthy subjects versus BT/TT and BL/LL leprosy patients, contacts of leprosy patients, and TB patients as a measure of specificity and sensitivity; to compare the specificity and sensitivity of the 2 new antigens with tuberculin/PPD in patients with clinical leprosy, contacts of leprosy patients, and healthy unexposed subjects (non-patient contacts); to quantify release of IFN-gamma from lymphocytes in whole blood from leprosy patients, leprosy patient contacts, TB patients, and healthy nonexposed subjects, following in vitro stimulation with leprosy skin test antigens and PPD, using the QuantiFERON-CMI (Cellestis Limited, Valentia California) kit. Results will be compared to the magnitude of the skin test response; and to determine if antibodies against a M. leprae specific anti

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

PrimaryNumber of Participants Positive for Phenolic Glycolipid-1 (PGL-1) by QuantiFERON Results and the Presence or Absence of Induration at the Injection Site for the Antigen PPD

Blood was collected at Day 0 prior to antigen administration for the assessment of PGL-1 and QuantiFERON. The mutually exclusive categories present the number of participants positive or negative by the two assays based on presence of induration at any of the follow up visit assessments. Results for PGL-1 of weakly, moderately or strongly positive are grouped as positive. A result greater than 0 is considered positive for QuantiFERON. A fifth category is listed to report the number of participants who were missing either assay result or the induration assessment.

Time frame:
Day 0 for PGL-1 and QuantiFERON; Days 3, 7, and 28 for induration

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of Apr 2002, a primary completion of Sep 2009 and a completion of Sep 2009. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Nov 2010, 1 year 2 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 24, 2014, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
