Nebulized Resveratrol Plus Carboxymethyl-β-Glucan for Reducing IL-5 in Children With Allergic Rhinitis (RENIM)

December 3, 2019 updated by: Stefania La Grutta, MD, Istituto per la Ricerca e l'Innovazione Biomedica

ReNIM Study - Nebulized Resveratrol Plus Carboxymethyl-β-Glucan for Reducing Nasal Interleukin-5 (IL-5) Measurements in Children With Allergic Rhinitis

Single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled study to:

  • characterize the subjects at baseline and discriminate groups of children based on IL-5, IL-17, IL-23 and INF-γ;
  • investigate the effect of Resveratrol plus Carboxymethyl-β-Glucan, two sprays (100µL/spray) for nostril three times/day for 4 weeks, in comparison with placebo, in reducing nasal interleukin-5 (IL-5) in children with Allergic Rhinitis (AR).

Secondary objectives are to examine the effect of resveratrol plus carboxymethyl-β-glucan, in comparison with placebo, on subjective parameters, i.e. symptom scores, visual analogue scales for rhinitis, quality of life and quality of sleep, and the effect on objective parameters, i.e. nasal nitric oxide (nNO) levels, nasal cytology and acoustic rhinometry.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
88

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

6 years to 16 years (CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Time Frame: Baseline
IL-17 level at baseline
Baseline
Nasal Interleukin-23 (IL-23)
Time Frame: Baseline
IL-23 level at baseline
Baseline
Nasal Interferon-γ (INF-γ)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
