Information provided by:	GlaxoSmithKline
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00348361

Purpose

This study is aimed at validating key therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with allergic rhinitis. The therapeutic target expression will be investigated after a 7 day course of corticosteroid treatment followed by allergen challenge.

Study Type:	Interventional
Study Design:	Diagnostic, Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Assignment, Pharmacodynamics Study
Official Title:	A Study to Validate Key Therapeutic Targets and Biomarkers During Allergen Exposure in Subjects With Allergic Rhinitis

Further study details as provided by GlaxoSmithKline:

Primary Outcome Measures:

Change in expression of key allergy targets in the nose following exposure to allergen. Assessment of protein expression measured by western blotting and immunohistochemistry in nasal biopsy tissue.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Effect of corticosteroids treatment on the change in target expression following allergen challenge. Nasal lavage fluid and nasal secretions will be measured by ELISA and chemiluminescent assay.

Estimated Enrollment:	48
