Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - Intradermal Human Fc?1-Fel d1 fusion protein
Other interventions - Positive Control - standardized cat hair allergenic extract (CAT)
Other interventions - Positive Control - Histamine Prick
Other interventions - Negative Control - Intradermal Diluent

Experimental: Control-Experimental arm - Each subject will serve as their own control with the left arm receiving the control protein (Histamine prick, intradermal diluent and intradermal CAT) and right arm receiving the experimental protein (GFD).


Other interventions: Intradermal Human Fc?1-Fel d1 fusion protein
Part A: 7 sequential 10-fold dose increments from 0.001 BAU/mL to 1,000 BAU/mL; An 8th dose of 10,000 BAU/mL might be given only if the 10 BAU/mL of CAT is the dose that elicits a bump or hive of >= to 10mm.
Part B: 5 sequential 10-fold dose increments from 0.1 BAU/mL to 1,000 BAU/mL; An 6th dose of 10,000 BAU/mL might be given only if the 10 BAU/mL of CAT is the dose that elicits a bump or hive of >= to 10mm.

Other interventions: Positive Control - standardized cat hair allergenic extract (CAT)
4 sequential 10-fold injections starting from 0.01 BAU/mL to 10 BAU/mL

Other interventions: Positive Control - Histamine Prick
1.0 mg/mL

Other interventions: Negative Control - Intradermal Diluent
Saline, Albumin with Phenol (HSA) sterile diluent

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
Difference in the Doses of GFD and CAT Required to Elicit a Cutaneous Reaction Demonstrated by a Wheal Greater Than or Equal to 10 mm With Surrounding Erythema
Timepoint [1] 0 0
up to 3 hours after the last injection of GFD

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- History of allergic reactivity to cats as expressed by allergic rhinitis

- Radioallergosorbent test (RAST test) for cat-specific IgE with RAST rating of 2
(0.70-3.49 KU/L IgE) documented within the past year or at screening

- Standardized cat hair allergenic extract (CAT), 10,000 BAL/mL (ALK-Abello) elicits a
wheal 5 mm or greater than the diluent control (Saline Albumin with Phenol [HSA],
ALK-Abello) with surrounding erythema on testing using a standardized epicutaneous
delivery device (Stallergenes Prick Lancet, 1 mm tip)

- Histamine (Histatrol 1mg/mL, ALK-Abello) reactivity of 5 mm or greater reactivity than
the diluent control with surrounding erythema on epicutaneous testing using a
standardized epicutaneous delivery device

- Able and willing to discontinue any anti-histamine use for 5 days prior to entry into
protocol and throughout the protocol participation

- Baseline spirometry (FEV1, FVC FEF25-75) with FEV1 >=80% predicted and other values
within the normal range

- Ability to give written informed consent
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
65 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
- Diluent control (Saline Albumin with Phenol [HSA], ALK-Abello) elicits wheal >= 3 mm
on epicutaneous testing using a standardized epicutaneous delivery device

- Pregnant females as determined by a positive serum or urine hCG test

- Lactating females

- Ever having received allergen immunotherapy (e.g., -subcutaneous allergen [SCIT] or
-sublingual [SLIT])

- Systemic steroids in the past 3 months

- Severe systemic reactivity on exposure to cats (e.g., laryngeal or angioedema,
fainting, pallor, bradycardia, hypotension, bronchospasm, asthma, or generalized
urticaria)

- A clinical history of asthma

- Underlying heart, liver, kidney lung, or other medical condition (acute infections,
immune diseases, current substance abuse) such that the person would be at a clearly
increased risk for a poor outcome should a generalized allergic reaction occur

- Use of systemic beta-blocking or ACE-inhibiting agents within the past 3 weeks

- Use of tri-cyclic antidepressants within the past 3 weeks

- Subjects receiving therapy with any agents known or likely to interact with adrenaline
(e.g., beta blockers, ACE-Inhibitors, tri-cyclic antidepressants, or other)

- Current use or use of omalizumab (Xolair) within past 6 months

- Subjects with any extensive skin disorder (atopic dermatitis) that would make skin
testing or proper interpretation impractical

- Mental impairment, limiting the ability to comply with study requirements

- Participation in a clinical trial and receipt of an investigational product within 30
days, 5 half-lives or twice the duration of the biochemical effect of the
investigational product (whichever is longer) prior to dosing in the current study

Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this trial is to show that Intradermal Human Fc?1-Fel d1 fusion protein (GFD)
is able to block the skin reaction to cat allergen in cat allergic subjects compared to the
skin reaction to cat allergen alone. This research project is also testing the safety and
tolerability of this new, experimental treatment, compared to the current treatment of cat
allergen alone.
