Development of a Skin Test to Detect Immediate-type Hypersensitivity to the Experimental Na-ASP-2 Hookworm Antigen
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Na-ASP-2 Skin Test Reagent for Hookworm Infection and Allergy. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Na-ASP-2 is a protein expressed during the larval stage of the N. americanus hookworm life cycle. In a clinical study in previously hookworm-infected adults in Brazil, this protein induced urticarial reactions (rash) in a subset of volunteers. This study will evaluate solutions of varying concentrations of the protein in both a skin prick-puncture and intradermal test that will eventually be used to screen volunteers living in hookworm endemic areas who are being considered as potential participants in vaccine trials, to reduce the potential of inducing allergic reactions in those vaccinated with the Na-ASP-2 Hookworm Vaccine.
