Study summary

The primary objective is to assess the concentration of Blomia tropicalis allergenic extract that induces a wheal of size equivalent to that produced by a 10 mg/mL histamine dihydrochloride solution, in order to be used as in-house reference preparation (IHRP).

Read the detailed description

The trial will consist of a single visit, in which the following procedures will be carried out:

  • Demographic data (age, race, and gender).
  • Clinical history.
  • Inclusion/exclusion criteria.
  • Physical examination (cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurobiological, gastrointestinal, dermatological, other body systems and height, weight).
  • Pregnancy test.
  • Performance of prick-tests (3 concentrations of of Blomia tropicalis extract, positive control, and negative control).
  • Collection of blood sample (10 mL) from the patient to create a pool of sera for in vitro standardization of the allergen extract.

Each serum sample will be labeled with the subject's number and frozen. These serum samples will remain in the freezer until the study concludes. Once the study is complete, they will be transported to the sponsor's facilities, where all sera will be pooled. This serum pool will be used for additional in vitro tests necessary to standardize and characterize the extract and produce its corresponding In-House Reference Product (IHRP), as indicated by the Spanish Pharmacopeia and the European Pharmacopeia. Additionally, it will be used in the necessary in vitro analyses for the standardization of new batches of the allergenic extract. After the serum pool is formed, the tubes containing the original serum samples are destroyed.

- Assessment of adverse events during the 72 hours following skin testing.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Female or male aged 18 to 64 years, both included.
  2. Subjects who have signed and dated the form.
  3. Subjects must reside in a geographical area where allergic problems caused by Blomia tropicalis are relevant.
  4. Positive medical history of inhalant allergy (rhinitis and/or rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma) to Blomia tropicalis
  5. A positive prick-test (mean wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm) with an extract of the same allergen and/or presence of specific IgE against complete extract or any molecular component to the allergenic source.
  6. The area of the wheal obtained with 10 mg/mL histamine dihydrochloride should be ≥ 7 mm², which corresponds to a mean wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm.
  7. The area of the wheal obtained with negative control should be \< 7 mm², which corresponds to a mean wheal diameter \< 3 mm.
  8. Women of childbearing age (i.e following menarche and until , defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause, or non-subject to permanent sterilization methods, such as hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy) must present a negative urine pregnancy test at the time of enrollment in the trial, as well as a confirmed menstrual period.
  9. Women of childbearing age must commit to using a highly effective and adequate method during the trial and up to 72 hours after the end of treatment with the 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.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects outside the age range.
  2. Subjects who have previously received immunotherapy within the last 5 years for the treatment of asthma or allergic rhinoconjunctivitis induced by allergens that may interfere with Blomia tropicalis extract.
  3. Subjects with significant symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis and/or bronchial asthma in whom discontinuation of systemic antihistamine treatment is .

  7. Clinically unstable subjects (acute asthma, febrile, etc.).
  8. Subjects 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).
  9. Subjects with active herpes simplex viral infection, or herpes varicella zoster in the area where the prick test is performed.
  10. Subjects with any pathology in which the administration of adrenaline is contraindicated (hyperthyroidism, hypertension, heart disease, etc.).
  11. States in which the subject is unable to offer cooperation and severe psychiatric disorders.
  12. Pregnant or potentially pregnant women and breastfeeding women.
  13. Subjects with known phenol allergy.
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.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Extract B. tropicalis + Positive control + Negative control

    There is only one treatment arm. In each subject, one drop of each of the three concentrations of both allergenic extracts, along with the positive (Histamine dihydrochloride 10 mg/mL) and negative (saline solution) controls, will be applied. Blomia tropicalis dilutions: 100 µg/mL and 20 µg/mL.

    Other: Allergenic Extract

Interventions

  • OtherAllergenic Extract

    In each subject, a drop of each of the 3 concentrations of the allergenic extract, in addition to the positive control (histamine) and the negative control, will be applied. The application will be duplicated on the subject's anterior forearm, with a distance of approximately 4 cm between each application to avoid overlapping reactions and false-positives results.

    Also known as: Allergenic Blomia tropicalis extract

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Size of the induced papule on the skin

    Size of the induced papule on the skin when applying each of the concentrations of the allergenic extracts and the positive (histamine) and negative controls, using the prick test.

    Time frame: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adverse reactions

    The secondary outcome is to assess the safety and tolerability of Blomia tropicalis extract. Mild side reactions such as pruritus, erythema, local oedema may occur during the diagnostic skin test by prick test. There is a risk, albeit rare and exceptional, of systemic reactions, sometimes severe (urticaria, asthma, anaphylactic shock) (28) (urticaria, asthma, anaphylactic shock, etc.).

    Time frame: 30 minutes

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Nov 2025; primary completion for Jan 2026, 2 months later.

Of 24 industry-sponsored interventional studies with no phase under Hypersensitivity, half reached primary completion within 2 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 1 and three quarters within 11. This study's planned 2 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 174 studies reached it within 20 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 41.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Oct 2, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
