RECRUITING

Dupilumab Effects Against Aeroallergen Challenge

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The trial involves two interventions: (i) exposure to HDM in the ACC and (ii) administration of dupilumab/placebo for dupilumab.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 65 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria

  3. 3. Will have symptoms consistent with perennial nasal allergy for a minimum of 2 years prior to the screening visit.
  4. 4. Will have a positive standard skin prick test (SPT) to D. pteronyssinus within 24 months of screening. A positive SPT is defined as a wheal diameter of at least 5 mm larger than the negative control (normal saline).
  5. 5. Will have asthma with a documented FEV1 reversibility of ≥10% within 12 months of screening.
  6. 6. If a participant manifests symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, the participant must have a negative SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen nasopharyngeal swab test before each HDM exposure visit.
  7. 7. A woman of childbearing potential, must have a negative urine pregnancy test at Visit 1 and prior to each exposure in the ACC. All women of childbearing potential must agree to a medically acceptable form of birth control throughout the study duration and for at least 2 months prior to Visit 1. Acceptable methods of birth control for this study include:
  8. 1. oral, patch, or intra-vaginal contraceptives
  9. 2. Norplant System® or other implant system
  10. 3. Depo-Provera®
  11. 4. IUD
  12. 5. double barrier method
  13. 6. abstinence
  14. 7. surgical sterility (hysterectomy, tubal ligation, or uterine ablation)
  15. 8. Will have never smoked or will be an ex-smoker (\<20 pack year history and no cigarette or smokeless tobacco use in the past year).
  1. 1. Have a chronic lung disease other than asthma.
  2. 2. Have atopic dermatitis.
  3. 3. Have any ocular disease that is not associated with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.
  4. 4. Are on home oxygen requirement.
  5. 5. Have a history of rebound nasal congestion (brought on by extended use of topical decongestants), chronic rhinosinusitis with or without nasal polyps, nasal septal perforation, or severe nasal tract malformations noted on physical exam.
  6. 6. Have FEV1 \<70% predicted as determined by pre-bronchodilator spirometry at visit 1.
  7. 7. Are unwilling/unable to withhold intranasal steroids or asthma medications before specified visits.
  8. 8. Are unwilling/unable to abstain from protocol-defined prohibited medications for the protocol-specified times before and during screening/selection and ACC HDM exposure visits.
  9. 9. Have received any oral or other form of systemic glucocorticosteroids within 1 month prior to the screening visit.
  10. 10. Have received JAK-1 inhibitors within 3 months prior to the screening visit.
  11. 11. Have known hypersensitivity to dupilumab or any of its excipients.
  12. 12. Have an ongoing helminth infection.
  13. 13. Have received a live vaccine within 30 days of screening or are planned to receive one during study participation.
  14. 14. Are pregnant or nursing.
  15. 15. Have a history of keratoconjunctivitis sicca.
  16. 16. Have indoor pet exposure causing upper or lower symptoms.
  17. 17. Have received allergen immunotherapy of any form within 12 months of screening visit.
  18. 18. Have received biologics, for any indication within 12 months of screening visit.
  19. 19. Have participated in a trial with an investigational drug in the past 30 days.
  20. 20. Have past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing that are not listed above, that, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks from participation in the study, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements, or may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.
