Filter by:Background: Zingiber cassumunar Roxb., frequently known as Phlai in Thai, has been safely used as an antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory drug in Thai traditional medicine. Individual with allergic rhinitis may have positive response to Phlai. Objective: Investigators assessed the efficacy and safety of Phlai as a treatment for allergic rhinitis Design: The study was a 1-month, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, intent-to-treat, multicenter, controlled trial in 267 patients at 7 hospitals in Thailand. Skin prick test-positive adults with allergic rhinitis ages 18 to 50 who were randomized into 3 groups (Phlai 8mg/d, Phlai 4mg/d, placebo). Main outcome measures: Primary outcome was defined: improvement of total 5 symptoms scores (nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing, itchy nose, itchy eyes) over a 4-week interval among Phlai 8mg/d, Phlai 4mg/d and placebo. Secondary endpoints were: assessments of rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire, peak inspiratory nasal flow, nasal examination, adverse events, AST, ALT, Creatinine and BUN over a period of 4 weeks.
In this study, researchers were primarily interested in evaluating the level of agreement of cooling sensation provided by this chewable, flavored, allergy medicine. Participants joining this study received one test drug tablet and were asked to chew completely before swallowing the drug. A questionnaire was used to collect the feedback from participants. The study involved only one (1) visit and participant stayed in this study for about 60-75 minutes to evaluate the cooling sensation as well as other sensory attributes perceived in the mouth, nose and throat.
The primary objective of the pilot study is to compare inflammatory responses in blood sera from patients receiving first allergen immunotherapy (AIT) with aluminium (Alum), microcrystalline tyrosine (MCT), or a combination of MCT and monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) as adjuvants. The AIT products are containing allergen extracts of grass and tree pollen). Blood is collected before as wells as one day, seven days, and 6-7 weeks after first AIT, and the blood is analysed for content of inflammatory proteins and antibodies.
A single center, double-blind, randomized, dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of 3 doses of AD17002 in comparison to placebo. Subjects will be randomized at 3:1 ratios in each of 3 cohorts to receive AD17002 or placebo.
Hay fever affects 1 in 4 of the UK population and has significant effects on the quality of life of sufferers. Allergy to grass pollen is the most common cause. A detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved during allergic reactions to pollens in hay fever sufferers may provide improvements in diagnosis, drug treatment and assessment of their response to treatment. Controlled exposures to allergens such as grass pollen can provide important information on the mechanisms of allergic inflammation and may be used to assess the success of anti-allergy treatments. Nasal allergen challenge (NAC) is a useful tool in the investigation of allergic rhinitis, including grass pollen-induced seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever). NAC is performed by installation of a very small amount of grass pollen extract into the nose in order to reproduce mild and short-lived symptoms such as nasal itch, sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion that you experience in a more severe form during natural exposure to grass pollen during the summer. Nasal allergen challenge has allowed us to explore the mechanism of hay fever and to provide a rapid and reliable method for investigating new potential treatments for hay fever. Nasal allergen Challenge is a very well-standardised and safe procedure that has been performed within the department of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at Imperial College and Royal Brompton Hospital for many years. Unfortunately the grass pollen extract ('Aquagen') that we have routinely used for nasal challenge has been discontinued and is therefore no longer available. The present study involves testing an alternative source of the grass pollen extract in the form of 'Grazax' which is a freeze-dried tablet that is highly standardised and should enable us to give an identical amount of grass pollen extract for the purpose of nasal challenge. We plan a 'head-to-head' comparison of the two extracts in nasal challenge in order to confirm that the two sources of allergen are equivalent thereby enabling us to use Grazax as the source of grass pollen extract for our nasal challenge studies in the future.
It is not proven unequivocally whether a combination of an intranasal corticosteroids (INS) and a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist has greater efficacy than INS in the treatment of severe allergic rhinitis (AR) . We performed a randomized, open-label study in 46 seasonal AR subjects receiving budesonide (BD, 256ug) plus montelukast (MNT, 10 mg) or BD alone (256ug) for 2 weeks. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, nasal cavity volume (NCV), nasal airway resistance (NAR) and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) were assessed before and at end of treatments as the primary treatment outcomes. Similarly, histamine, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and cysteinyl-leukotrienes (Cyslts) in nasal secretion and Th1/Th2 cells in nasal mucosa were evaluated as the secondary treatment outcomes.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease of nasal mucosa, affecting 10% to 40% of the population globally. Allergen specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only etiological treatment available for AR.Traditionally, AIT is divided into subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). Artemisia annua is one of the most important allergen that is responsible for seasonal AR in China during July and October. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentred, phase III trial. 702 subjects with allergic rhinitis caused by Artemisia pollen were recruited and randomized to the immunotherapy group and placebo group.
Prospective multicentric study. 60 subjects with allergic rhinitis will be enrolled to test the efficacy of nasal hypertonic spray Puressentiel on symptoms of allergic rhinitis and nasal peak flow. Subjects with allergic rhinitis and nasal obstruction will use during 30 days the nasal spray (2 nebulisations /day in each nostril) during 30 days. Rhinitis symptoms questionnaire and nasal inspiratory peak flow will be evaluated before and after 30 days of exposure.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is triggered by environmental allergens such as pollen and mites, and is associated with several symptoms such as itching and nasal congestion, sneezing or tearing and redness of the eyes. RA can affect patients life quality who suffer it, reducing the quality of sleep and cognitive function, causing irritability and fatigue and, consequently a decrease in work performance. Because the existing pharmacological treatments for RA are not entirely effective, it is of interest to find other means to enhance the effects of these drugs and decrease more effectively the signs and symptoms associated with RA. In this context, RA has been related to an alteration of the intestinal microbiota (MI).However, there is a need to characterize in detail the MI of individuals who suffer RA. The main objective of the present study is to characterize the MI of individuals with RA, compared with people without RA. In addition, the secondary objective is to study the association between characteristics of the MI of individuals with RA and different immunological markers.
This is a Phase 2a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Norketotifen (NKT) in subjects with allergic rhinitis.
