Efficacy of air cleaners to reduce allergic responses to cat: A randomized clinical trial using an environmental exposure chamber
Background
Air cleaners improve indoor air quality by reducing pollutants and airborne allergens. Only a few clinical studies showed their efficacy in respiratory diseases in environmental exposure chambers (EECs).
Objective
To assess the efficacy of the Dyson HEPA H13 filter (Big + Quiet Formaldehyde) air cleaner on allergic responses in cat-allergic patients.
Methods
This single-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study enrolled 30 GINA 1–2 cat-asthmatic patients with or without allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Patients were included (Visit 1) according to their allergy and asthma history and skin prick testing for cat allergens. At randomization (Visit 2), patients presented early asthma response (EAR), during 2-h exposures to 80 ng/m3 of cat allergen in ALYATEC EEC. A second allergen exposure (Visit 3) evaluated the impact of air cleaners on bronchial, nasal and ocular responses as compared to placebo.
Results
EAR was significantly delayed in the active group (p = 0.02). After 50 min of exposure, no patient developed EAR in the active group, compared to 53.3 % in the placebo group. FEV 1 rates were reduced in 40 % of EAR in the active group compared to 73.3 % in the placebo group (p = 0.06). Air cleaners reduced rhino-conjunctivitis by 52.2 % with a mean TSS of 1.6 compared to 3.3 in the placebo group (p = 0.03). Rhinitis responses were improved in the active group, compared to placebo (p = 0.03). Air cleaners decreased cat allergen from 79.6 ng/m3 to 14.2 ng/m3
Conclusions
Air cleaners improved clinical allergic responses during cat allergen exposures in ALYATEC EEC.
期刊介绍:
Respiratory Medicine is an internationally-renowned journal devoted to the rapid publication of clinically-relevant respiratory medicine research. It combines cutting-edge original research with state-of-the-art reviews dealing with all aspects of respiratory diseases and therapeutic interventions. Topics include adult and paediatric medicine, epidemiology, immunology and cell biology, physiology, occupational disorders, and the role of allergens and pollutants.
Respiratory Medicine is increasingly the journal of choice for publication of phased trial work, commenting on effectiveness, dosage and methods of action.
