Filter by:This study is a two-part Phase 1b/2a First-in-Human (FIH) randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of multiple ascending doses of CNP-201 in Part A, with the goal of identifying a safe and tolerable dose level to be evaluated further in a larger number of subjects in Part B.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge to be conducted in infants or children with confirmed IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA), followed by a 7-day open feeding of the experimental formula.
Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter of 3 active treatment groups, compared to 1 placebo group, for the determination of the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy in patients with mild to moderate asthma and allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis (intermittent or persistent) due to hypersensitivity to house dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and / or D. farinae) and grass pollen
Prospective, case-control study being conducted to determine the sensitivity of the SureTouch device in detecting known masses at a pre-determined level of specificity.
The purpose of this study is to test if delaying the start of the olaparib until there is a rise in a tumor marker called CA-125 will result in a longer time until the next or different treatment for the patient's cancer. The study will also evaluate how delaying the start of maintenance therapy will affect symptoms; physical functioning; quality of life; and impact on finances.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a progressive disease and early intervention and prevention strategies are therefore very important. An important early hallmark in the development of T2DM is insulin resistance. Since the majority of postprandial glucose disposal occurs in skeletal muscle, improving muscle insulin sensitivity will thus have a major impact on disease prevention. Abdominally obese men and women have an increased risk to develop T2DM, and are also characterized by an impaired vascular function. This may hamper proper delivery of insulin, glucose and oxygen to muscles, thereby contributing to - and possibly causing - muscle insulin resistance. Earlier it has been shown that supplementation with L- arginine improves vascular function by improving nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability. These NO- mediated beneficial effects on vascular function may improve delivery of insulin, glucose and oxygen to the muscle tissue, thereby improving muscle insulin sensitivity and mitochondrial function. However, the doses needed of this amino acid cannot be provided by regular diets or supplements, also due to the bitter taste of L-arginine. Alternatively, smaller amounts of L- arginine with a specific combination of other nutritional components (i.e. nitrate and nitrite), which are already part of the regular diet and support alternative pathways to improve NO- mediated vascular function, may also induce beneficial effects. The investigators now hypothesize that in abdominally obese adults with impaired fasting glucose concentrations L-arginine combined with nitrate/nitrite increases muscle insulin sensitivity.
To determine the efficacy and safety of AR201 in a characterized oral desensitization immunotherapy (CODIT™) regimen in hen egg-allergic subjects aged 4 to 26 years, inclusive.
Wheat allergy is increasing in Thailand. Some studies show that cutaneous exposure of allergen may cause allergy and there are many wheat containing skin care products that are over-the-counter. So the purpose of our study is to determine level of specific immunoglobulin E antibodies to wheat and omega-5 gliadin in wheat allergy patients after stop using wheat containing skin care products.
Background : The NOVEOS® method is a chemiluminescent immunoassay used to provide quantitative detection of total IgE and allergen-specific IgE antibodies in human serum. The IgE antibody assay has an essential place in the diagnosis of mediated IgE allergies. This system could become an alternative to the techniques used today. NOVEOS® uses a quick and convenient method to give results concerning the patient's sensitization profile towards allergens. The volume required for the assays is 4 μl (against more than 100 μl for current techniques), which is particularly important in pediatric and geriatric populations where it may be more difficult to take larger samples. NOVEOS® also brings true autonomy. In fact, the incorporated reagents provide sufficient capacity for 8 hours of continuous testing. Objective: Validate the NOVEOS® system as an allergy diagnostic tool, by estimating the sensitivity and specificity of the NOVEOS® assays compared to the gold standard diagnostic represented by the clinical history and PT positive, for a panel of 20 allergens Methods: This is a validation study of a new immunoassay method (Système NOVEOS®). The study includes : - A preliminary phase to familiarize the team with the use of the NOVEOS® system. It is planned to analyze its technical characteristics: the precision, the sensitivity. Eight allergens will be tested, on a cohort of 136 patients - A validation study of the technique as a diagnostic tool for allergy (sensitivity and specificity compared to the gold standard represented by clinical history and positive PT) and comparison between the new technique and the ImmunoCap® system. Twenty allergens will be tested prospectively, each on 50 cases and 10 controls. A single patient may be both a case for an allergen and a witness for another. For rare allergies, the blood database of the Allergy Service will be used, and affected patients will be contacted to request their non-opposition.
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is one of the most common glomerular pathologies in children and corticosteroid therapy is its most effective treatment. The total duration of treatment ranges anywhere from two to six months, generally about 3 months. The main objective of our study is to test the feasibility of a shorter total duration (two months) of corticosteroid therapy in patients who show a quicker treatment response to the initial treatment.
