Trial Outcomes & Findings for Immunotherapy Administered Under the Tongue to Treat Dust Mite Allergy (NCT NCT00200850)

NCT ID: NCT00200850

Last Updated: 2019-06-12

Results Overview

Antigen challenge was performed using the antigen house dust mite. Increasing doses of antigen were inhaled and then lung function (using the procedure Spirometry, measuring Forced Expiatory Volume in the 1st second FEV1) was measured after each dose. The challenge was stopped once the lung function (FEV1) was dropped by 20% of percent predicted. The dose of antigen that caused a 20% drop in lung function is considered the bronchial threshold. The higher the dose of antigen that causes the drop in lung function, the higher tolerance a participant has of inhaling house dust mite. This dose was measure at baseline and then again after 12-18 months of treatment with sublingual house dust mite antigen.Cumulative breath units is the unit of measure to indicate how much antigen is tolerated before the FEV1 is dropped by 20%. Cumulative breath units is also known as breath units.
