Filter by:The aim is to analyse the results of per oral immunotherapy treatment in severe milk, peanut or egg allergy in adults. This is the second part of the oral immunotherapy study in adults at Skin and Allergy Hospital. The diagnosis of food allergy is verified with positive history, skin prick tests, egg and milk allergen specific IgE (immunoglobulin E) antibodies. In addition, food allergy is verified with an open label (milk allergy) or blind (peanut and egg allergy) allergen specific challenge test. OIT (oral immunotherapy) is performed according to a detailed plan. Lung function parameters are followed before OIT and and a year after OIT.
Aim of the present study is to verify in a double-blind placebo controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) test that highly purified barley starch ingredient do not cause allergic reaction in subjects most potential to get allergic reaction due to ingredient. Hypothesis is that none of the cereal (mostly primarily wheat) allergic subject recruited to the study will obtain allergic reaction neither to placebo nor to the test ingredient. Scoring of symptoms during the challenges will be based on PRACTALL.
This is an observational pilot study investigating the effectiveness, safety and specific immunological mechanisms of Specific Oral Tolerance Induction (SOTI) in children with IgE-mediated wheat allergy. The study will include 10 patients with persistent IgE-mediated allergy to wheat, who will undergo 1-year home SOTI. Moreover, 5 patients with IgE-mediated allergy to wheat will be followed for 1-year period after their diagnosis, without any intervention. Well-cooked wheat spaghetti will be given daily to patients with a programmed weekly dose increment for 27 weeks (up-dosing phase). Subsequently, wheat protein maintenance dose will be received daily for additional 6 months (maintenance phase), while afterwards patients will be clinically assessed and a 2nd OFC at a higher cumulative dose of wheat protein will be performed, in order to assess patients' desensitization to wheat. Skin Prick Tests (SPTs) to wheat, blood sampling for the determination of total IgE, wheat specific IgEs and wheat Basophil Activation Test (BAT) will be performed at baseline, when patients reach the maintenance dose and before the 2nd OFC. Regarding historical control group the same testing will be performed at baseline and at re-evaluation (post 12 months).
Living with food allergy may result in anxiety and reduced quality of life. Food allergic patients and their families are often concerned about casual exposure with the offending allergen through skin contact or being near the offending food, which is actually very low risk. This concern can limit social activities and increase stress. The aim of this study is to provide a behavioral intervention consisting of having peanut/tree nut allergic patients hold a cup with a peanut or tree nut to which the patient is allergic to and touching it. The goal is to reduce anxiety about casual exposure to food allergens and improve quality of life for patients with food allergies and their families.
Assessment of the knowledge levels of restaurant personnel about food allergies. A structured questionnaire was given through a telephonic interview to evaluate the responses of the respondents.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether early life natural exposure to fatty acid affects the AD risk.
This study is designed to investigate the toxicity and pharmacokinetics (PK) of 2-weekly and 3-weekly docetaxel in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Also, a mechanism-based population pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) model will be developed to provide a better understanding of the complex relationships between the drug exposure and toxicity profiles of docetaxel in mHSPC.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of 5 weeks treatment with dapagliflozin in type 2 diabetes patients on how the hormone insulin acts on sugar uptake in muscles.
To evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability at 8 weeks (2-months), 52 weeks (12-months), and 104 Weeks (24-months) post the start of the following treatment regimens in participants with: Drug Sensitive TB (DS-TB) patients given BPaMZ for 17 Weeks ( or 4 months) vs. Standard HRZE/HR treatment given for 26 weeks (or 6 months) and Drug Resistant TB (DR-TB) patients given BPaMZ for 26 Weeks (or 6 months)
This study is enrolling participants by invitation only. This is an open-label, safety extension study for subjects who participated in the ARC007 study.
