Clinical Trial Summary

This study represents the follow-up, age 6-8 years, of children recruited at birth into two cohorts. The first cohort, the Mite Allergen Prevention Study (MAPS) was a double-blind, randomized controlled trial of the use of house dust-mite immunotherapy in the primary prevention of atopy and asthma. The Immune Tolerance in Early Childhood (ITEC) cohort is a separate observational cohort following up infants at high risk of atopy and correlating atopic disease development with epigenetic markers.


Description:

There is an epidemic of allergic disease in childhood and current preventative strategies have failed to demonstrate effectiveness outside of isolated trials. In a previous study, the efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) with house dust mite in preventing the development of allergic sensitisation in infants was assessed. The long term objective was to assess the effect of the intervention on the subsequent development of asthma. The hypothesis is that high dose oral immunotherapy will induce immune tolerance and reduce development of allergic sensitisation and later clinical asthma and allergy. A total of 111 infants at high risk of allergy (with ≥2 first degree relatives affected by asthma or allergy) but with no evidence of allergic sensitisation at recruitment were recruited. These infants were randomised at 6 months of age to receive a year of active HDM (House dust-mite) allergen extract delivered as SLIT or placebo intervention. At 18 months of age, there was a significant reduction in cumulative allergic sensitisation in the SLIT intervention group and a trend for reduction in allergic symptoms. They have also been followed up at 3 years of age. The data currently being analysed. Additionally, an observational cohort (Immune Tolerance in Early Childhood, ITEC) was recruited at birth with the same inclusion criteria as the interventional one and assessed in the same way up to 3 years. This cohort has provided additional control data and samples to utilise in the analyses. This proposed study is the 6-8 year follow up of these interventional and observational cohorts. The aim of the 6-8 year assessment is to assess the efficacy of prophylactic oral immunotherapy with HDM allergen in preventing the later development of asthma. The hypothesis is that high dose oral immunotherapy will induce immune tolerance and reduce development of allergic sensitisation and later clinical asthma and allergy. Participants will be assessed 6-8 years after finishing the intervention. The assessment will include a questionnaire, skin prick testing to the common aeroallergens and food allergens and lung function. Families and study investigators will both be blinded to participants' original treatment allocations. An additional aim is to investigate the epigenetic and immune mechanisms involved in the development of asthma and allergy and how allergen immunotherapy influence this process.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Clinical Asthma - parental questionnaire Comparison of clinical asthma, as assessed by parental questionnaire, at age 6 years between control and intervention groups. Clinical asthma will be defined as either doctor diagnosed asthma or presence of wheeze and asthma medication use within the past year. Age 6 years
Primary Clinical Asthma- spirometry with reversibility Comparison of clinical asthma, as assessed by lung function testing, at age 6 years between control and intervention groups. Clinical asthma will be defined as in improvement in FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second) of 12% or more following administration of salbutamol inhaler (bronchodilator). 6 years
Secondary Bronchial hyper-responsiveness Comparison of bronchial hyperresponsiveness, as determined by methacholine bronchial allergen challenge, at age 6 years. Age 6 years
Secondary Asthma comparison Comparison of asthma, as defined by wheeze plus bronchial hyperreactivity Age 6 years
Secondary Airway inflammation level- exhaled nitric oxide measurement Comparison of airway inflammation level, as assessed by exhaled nitric oxide, between placebo and intervention group age 6 years Age 6 years
Secondary Cumulative sensitization Comparison of cumulative sensitization to one or more of 6 common allergens, as assessed by skin prick test, up to 6-8 years of age between control and interventions groups. Age 6 years
Secondary Cumulative aeroallergen sensitization Comparison of cumulative sensitization to one or more of 6 common aeroallergens, as assessed by skin prick test, up to 6-8 years of age between control and interventions groups. Age 6 years
Secondary House dust-mite sensitization Comparison of sensitization to house dust mite, as assessed by skin prick test, at 18 months, 3 years and 6-8 years of age between control and intervention groups. Age 6 years
Secondary Clinical atopic disease- parental questionnaire Comparison of clinical allergic diseases/symptoms (atopic eczema, wheeze, allergic rhinitis, food allergy) at 18 months, 3 years and 6 years of age between control and intervention groups. Presence of clinical disease evaluated through parental questionnaires Age 6 years
