研究概览

简要总结

A drug (mepolizumab) that reduces allergic inflammation will affect the function of allergy cells called eosinophils which are produced by the body in response to allergen exposure.

入选标准

  • Males or females age 18 to 50 yrs,
  • History of asthma based upon presence of asthma symptoms such as cough, shortness of breath, wheeze or chest tightness,
  • positive skin-prick test to a House Dust Mite extract,
  • Forced expiratory volume at one second >70% predicted pre-albuterol, > 80% predicted post albuterol
  • >12% increase in Forced expiratory volume at one second following inhaled albuterol (180 µg) and/or
  • airway responsiveness to methacholine (PC20 <8mg/ml).
  • > 20% immediate drop in FEV1 following inhaled antigen challenge.
  • Safety laboratory assessments within normal ranges (labs to include complete blood count with differential, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, Prothrombin time, Partial Thromboplastin Time, and platelet count)
  • Female subjects of child-bearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test (urine HCG) within 48 hours of the methacholine challenge at Visit 2 and agree to use a reliable method of birth control for the duration of the study (reliable methods of birth control can include abstinence, barrier methods, oral contraceptives, injection contraceptives or skin absorption contraceptives).
  • In the opinion of the investigator, capable and willing to grant written informed consent and cooperate with study procedures and requirements.

排除标准

  • Use of inhaled or systemic corticosteroids or leukotriene inhibitors within 1 month of screening.
  • Treatment with Omalizumab (anti-IgE) within 9 months of screening visit
  • Concomitant use of any other monoclonal antibody
  • Respiratory infection within 4 weeks of study
  • Unstable asthma as indicated by self-report of increased symptoms or increased beta-agonist use over the previous 2 weeks.
  • Female subjects who are pregnant, nursing or have a pregnancy planned during the course of study
  • Current smokers (defined as smoked within the last year) or a former smoker with a history of >5 pack years.
  • Major health problems such as heart disease, type I and II diabetes or lung diseases other than asthma. Decisions regarding this criteria will be based upon the judgment of the investigator.
  • Previous malignancy.
  • Medication other than for asthma, allergies or contraception and that the investigator feels may interfere with the conduct of study (e.g. monoamine oxidase inhibitors and B-adrenergic antagonists in any form)
  • Known history of allergic reaction to previous antibody administration.
  • Prior treatment with an anti-interleukin-5 monoclonal antibody,
  • Use of an investigational drug within 30 days of entering the study,
  • History of noncompliance with medical regimens or subjects who are considered unreliable.

研究组 & 干预措施

Mepolizumab

Experimental

up to 3 monthly doses of 750mg i.v. mepolizumab

干预措施: mepolizumab (Biological)

结局指标

主要结局

The Primary Endpoint of the Study is the Percent of Eosinophils in the Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid After Segmental Allergen Challenge, Before and After Mepolizumab Administration (Bronchoscopy #2 vs. Bronchoscopy #4).

时间窗: before and after up to 3 months of Mepo.

Percent of eosinophils was determined in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected from the participant after segmental allergen challenge. This was done via differential cell count using Hema-3 stain. Cell differentials were determined by counting a total of 1000 cells on two cytospin preparations. The percent eosinophils were done before and after administration of mepolizumab for a specified amount of time (up to 3 months of administration).

次要结局

  • Effect of Mepolizumab on Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Concentrations of IL-5 Cytokine Before and After Mepolizumab(before and after up to 3 months of Mepo)
