Study start date: March 18, 2023

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

To improve accuracy and take out human error opportunities, Hippo Dx developed S.P.A.T., an automated skin prick test. This study will provide a comparison between manual and automated skin prick test in allergic and non-allergic individuals with a panel of common inhalant allergens. The primary endpoint is to compare the accuracy of S.P.A.T. to detect sensitization to common aeroallergens compared to a manual skin prick test (SPT). It is a prospective monocentric study that will include 120 study participants.

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

112 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Diagnostic Study

Diagnostic studies focus on improving how we detect or confirm a disease. They test new tools or techniques that could provide faster or more accurate diagnoses.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: Adults (18-65y) with presence or absence of self-reported symptoms of inhalant allergy will be included. Exclusion Criteria: * Skin pathology like chronic or exuberant urticaria, dermographism, chronic dermatitis that needs daily treatment * Use of antihistaminic medication \< 7 days before the start of the study * Use of tricyclic antidepressants (antihistamine activity) \< 7 days before the start of the study * Use of topical corticoids on the forearm \< 7 days before the start of the study * Use of Omalizumab \< 6 months before the start of the study * Pregnancy: there is a remote possibility of inducing a systemic allergic reaction that could induce uterine contractions or necessitate the use of epinephrine (thought to cause constriction of the umbilical artery)
