E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909 (anti-Felis silvestris catus (domestic cat) allergen 1 (Fel d 1)) administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat in the prevention of a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge induced Early Asthmatic Response (EAR) assessed by measures of lung function (Forced expiratory volume in one second: FEV1) compared to placebo-treated patients on day 8. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909, compared to placebo, administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat in the prevention of a controlled cat allergen challenge-induced:
*early asthmatic response (EAR), assessed by measures of lung function (FEV1), on days 29, 57, and 85
*allergic rhinitis symptoms, assessed by total nasal symptom score, on days 8, 29, 57, and 85
*ocular symptoms, assessed by total ocular symptom score, on days 8, 29, 57, and 85
- To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909 administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat to increase the exposure to cat allergen required to induce EAR in a controlled cat allergen challenge as compared to placebo patients
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN1908-1909 vs placebo in patients with cat allergen-triggered asthma
