Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Adult volunteers were skin tested with 1.27 ug spherule-derived coccidioidin. The skin test antigen was evaluated in three different populations of adult volunteers to determine the safety and efficacy of the product in the assessment of delayed-type hypersensitivity to Coccidioides immitis. Induration greater than or equal to 5 mm after 48 hours was considered positive for exposure to C. immitis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

1

Volunteers with a history of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis verified by serology and/or histology or mycology.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Spherule-derived coccidioidin

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

1.27 ug of sterile, injectable product (spherule-derived coccidioidin). Product was administered once by intradermal injection along with positive and negative control agents and results read after 48 hours.

2

Volunteers without a history of pulmonary coccidioidomycosis confirmed by serology (naive).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Spherule-derived coccidioidin

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

1.27 ug of sterile, injectable product (spherule-derived coccidioidin). Product was administered once by intradermal injection along with positive and negative control agents and results read after 48 hours.

3

Volunteers with a history of pulmonary histoplasmosis but no history of coccidioidomycosis confirmed by serology.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Spherule-derived coccidioidin

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

1.27 ug of sterile, injectable product (spherule-derived coccidioidin). Product was administered once by intradermal injection along with positive and negative control agents and results read after 48 hours.
