Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety, False-Positive Reactions and Sensitizing Properties of Leishmania Tropica Skin Test Antigen (NCT NCT00633009)

NCT ID: NCT00633009

Last Updated: 2013-11-20

Results Overview

Skin test response of subjects in the trial were evaluated 48 hours post injection after each of three skin test given at 30 day intervals in naive individuals (no exposure to the Leishmania organism). (Actual times 0, 30 and 60 days).The outcome measure was designated as number of participants who became sensitized to the Leishmania antigen. This is defined as those participants that had a negative skin test result, followed by a positive response in a subsequent skin test without having been exposed to the Leishmania organism.

15 ug Study Group
Naive volunteers tested with 15 ug injection of LtSTA. Participants were skin tested on visits 3, 6 and 9 of the study. The results of the skin tests were read after 48 hours (+/- 6 hours) on visits 4, 7 and 10. A final evaluation was performed on visit 11, fourteen days after visit 10. All participants received a placebo skin test concurrently with active drug.
