Filter by:There is increasing evidence that the effectiveness of allergy immunotherapy to control symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis is related to the cumulative dose of allergen or allergoid administered during a single regimen of subcutaneous (SC) injections or of sublingual administration. Two new cumulative doses of the Grass MATA MPL 10200 and 18200 SU (Standardized Units) are being developed to compare with the current dose of 5100 SU. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of these two new cumulative dose regimens of Grass MATA MPL compared with placebo in patients with seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (SAR) due to grass pollen, to enable selection of the best dose to go into a larger scale study to assess the efficacy and safety of the higher cumulative doses.
The purpose of this study is to assess safety, tolerability and demonstrate a dose response signal using Total Symptom Score (TSS), based on challenges with grass pollen in an Environmental Exposure Chamber (EEC), followed by estimation of the minimum effective dose of SUBLIVAC FIX Phleum (SP) after 10 months of treatment compared to placebo. The study has 4 treatment groups: 3 different doses of SP and placebo will be tested.
Allergen challenge facilities have been utilized for many years in clinical drug trials studying onset of action, proof of concept, duration of action, and efficacy. Each facility has somewhat different design characteristics and pollen dispersal technologies. Facilities are located in disparate geographic areas and have populations of participants who are sensitized to allergens unique to that area. Therefore, facilities have operated as single sites with little effort to evaluate facility comparability or to attempt standardization across facilities. The purpose of this study is to compare the two sites and assess whether the sites are able to achieve similar symptom scores.
This is an open label trial of mouse allergenic extract administered by subcutaneous injection in adults with asthma and mouse sensitivity. The study is designed to evaluate: - the safety of this therapy when given by injection - biomarkers of the immune response and - whether the therapy would be effective in treating allergic asthma.
The purpose of this study was to verify whether there were differences in health-related quality of life of patients with allergic rhinitis treated with bilastine 20 mg compared to those treated with loratadine 10 mg.
Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of CKD-342
Using Oligonucleotide Chip Analysis, investigators compared gene expression levels in allergic rhinitis patients before and after a series of acupoint herbal plaster and Acupuncture treatment. In the first year, Twenty-three participants with persistent allergic rhinitis each received four acupoint herbal plaster treatments, applied using the moxibustion technique, and clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Rhinitis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RQLQ). Peripheral blood samples were analyzed using an ImmunoCAP Phadiatop test, and patients were classified as phadiatop (Ph)-positive or -negative. Microarray results were examined for genes that were differentially expressed between (1) Ph-positive and -negative patients treated with herbal paste; and (2) before and after herbal paste treatment in the Ph-positive patient group. In the second year, Twenty-seven participants with persistent allergic rhinitis each received four acupoint herbal plaster treatments and 8 courses of acupuncture treatment over 4 weeks in the same time.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of short ragweed pollen allergen extract (MK-3641, SCH 039641, RAGWITEK™) sublingual immunotherapy tablets in children aged 5 to 17 years with ragweed-induced allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis with or without asthma. The primary hypothesis of this study is that administration of short ragweed pollen allergen extract sublingual immunotherapy tablets to children 5 to 17 years of age, compared with placebo, will result in a significant reduction in the combination of rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms and medication use over the peak ragweed season (RS).
Introduction: Rhinitis, sinonasal polyposis (SP) and asthma are diseases whose pathogenesis is based on inflammation. This will determine the presence of disease, its evolution and its treatment. It is therefore very important to develop and validate methodologies that allow us to noninvasively detect inflammation of the airways. Thus, just as exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) has been studied as an important non-invasive marker of inflammation of the lower airways, nasal nitric oxide (nNO) may be a good marker of nasal inflammation. Furthermore, the electronic nose is an electronic nanosensor device capable of detecting specific volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can be used as a non-invasive biomarker of biochemical processes in different diseases whose pathophysiology is also based on inflammation. Objective: To determine reference values of nNO and different patterns of VOCs in healthy individuals, individuals with allergic rhinitis (AR) and non-allergic rhinitis and individuals with SP and asthma. Methodology: Prospective, controlled study. Four groups will be included: Healthy subjects, patients with AR, non-allergic rhinitis and patients with SP and asthma (n=252). Prick-test to pneumoallergens will be performed. Determination of FeNO, nNO, lung function tests, measurement of VOCs by the electronic nose and blood samples will be taken. Bilateral nasal endoscopy and sample collection using the technique of brushing of mucosa and the placement of filter papers, for the study of nasal cytology and mediators of inflammation.
The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Tian Jiu in the treatment of allergic rhinitis compared with placebo and waitlist patients in Hong Kong.
