Filter by:Prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of polymerized and mannan conjugated allergen extract of Dermatophagoides for the treatment of allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis with or without asthma. The main objective of the clinical trial is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the investigational medicinal product, administered sublingually, compared to placebo for the treatment of moderate-severe rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis with or without mild to moderate asthma and controlled using the Rhinitis/Rhinoconjunctivitis Combined Symptom and Medication Score (R-CSMS).
AR is the most common respiratory disease worldwide and is clinically defined by the presence of nasal symptoms induced by exposure to allergens, particularly nasal obstruction and pruritus, runny nose and sneezing. The treatment purpose is to prevent or alleviate symptoms as safely and effectively as possible. Above all, it is recommended that patients avoid contact with allergens to which they are sensitive. However, this is often not enough, and pharmacological interventions are often required. H1 antihistamines (anti-H1) are considered first-line drugs in the treatment of AR1. These drugs effectively relieve symptoms of the immediate phase of AR, such as nasal pruritus, sneezing, runny nose and associated eye symptoms, and partially the nasal blockage characteristic of the late phase of the disease. Due to their excellent safety profile and therapeutic advantages in the treatment of AR, second-generation anti-H1 drugs, such as levocetirizine, should always be prioritized over older compounds in all age groups1. The combined administration of an antihistamine and an oral decongestant was shown to b more effective than the administration of an antihistamine alone for the relief of AR-associated nasal obstruction1. Levocetirizine is an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) registered in the country as a monodrug for oral administration at a dose of 5mg. Pseudoephedrine is not marketed as a monodrug for oral use in our area, but it is registered in FDC with antihistamines, which is why there is no comparator arm treating with pseudoephedrine only. These products are widely used and their efficacy and safety are well known in daily clinical practice in the proposed indication. Once the absence of a pharmacokinetic interaction between levocetirizine and pseudoephedrine has been confirmed in relative bioavailability studies (RBA), this phase 3 study will be conducted in order to demonstrate the superiority of FDC levocetirizine 5mg / pseudoephedrine 240mg over levocetirizine 5mg administered alone in the symptomatic treatment of AR, particularly with regard to nasal obstruction. The registration seeks to provide a new effective and safe therapeutic option to address these cases.
Allergic rhinitis is a common and recurrent ear, nose and throat (ENT) disease. It is a chronic or seasonal condition affecting 10% to 20% of the world's population. It is considered one of the most difficult diseases to treat globally and has become a major global health problem. SUblingual immunotherapy (SIT) is currently considered to be an effective pairings therapy that can alter the natural progression of allergic rhinitis through immunomodulatory mechanisms. Immunotherapy is more suitable for patients with moderate to severe intermittent or persistent allergic rhinitis, especially for those with poor drug treatment. This treatment can significantly reduce the severity of allergic rhinitis, reduce the use of allergy medications, and improve the quality of life for many patients. In the development of allergic rhinitis, the regulation of immune balance in Th1 / Th2 / Th17 cells is currently considered to be an important approach in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. But a growing body of evidence suggests that an intrinsic immune response is also the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis. Innate lymphocytes are involved in mucosal immune formation, lymphocyte development, tissue damage repair and epithelial barrier protection, and play an important role in fighting infection, regulating inflammation and maintaining immune homeostasis. Three subsets of intrinsic lymphocytes (ILC1s, ILC2s, ILC3s) have been proposed to functionally approximate Th1, Th2, and Th17 in helper T lymphocytes (Th), but the results are inconclusive and the mechanism of ILCs role in AR progression is not fully elucidated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and mechanism of subglossal immunotherapy for perennial allergic rhinitis, and to reveal the correlation between ILCs (ILC1s, ILC2s, ILC3s) and Th1 / Th2 / Th17 cell immunity, and to provide a basis for clinical studies of allergic rhinitis.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health issue adversely impacting the quality of life (QoL) of affected individuals and exerting a huge public health burden. Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of not only the symptoms, but also the underlying causes of the disease. Moreover, AIT has a preventative role against new sensitizations and development of asthma in AR patients. Hence AIT is recommended as an integrated part of an allergy management strategy in the treatment of AR. Over the development of one century, AIT has been delivered by various routes. Among them, subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) has been currently widely used in clinical practice. House dust mite (HDM) has been reported to be the most common sensitizing allergen in China. Nasal obstruction is the common complaint in HDM-sensitized AR and prompts patients to seek medical help. It has been proved that HDM-SCIT showed favourable efficacy in treating persistent AR. However, HDM-SCIT recommends 3 years of subcutaneous injection and requires good adherence to guarantee the efficacy. Later onset of nasal obstruction alleviation might reduce the adherence of HDM-SCIT. Radiofrequency ablation of bilateral inferior turbinate can relieve nasal obstruction within a short time after operation. It is hypothesized that, in HDM-AR patients with severe nasal obstruction, bilateral inferior turbinate surgery followed by HDM-SCIT will obtain quick-onset of good nasal ventilation and improve AIT adherence. The overall objective of the proposed randomized controlled trial is to test whether radiofrequency ablation of bilateral inferior turbinate followed by subcutaneous immunotherapy will improve nasal obstruction among patients with house dust mite sensitized allergic rhinitis (HDM-AR) compared to subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) only during the 4-month build-up phase as well as the 36-month full phase of SCIT.
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 rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis (intermittent or persistent) allergic to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and/or Dermatophagoides farinae.

Treatment of patients with allergic rhinitis and chronic polypous rhinosinusitis with olfactory mucosa-derived mesenchymal stem cells
Better management and improving outcome of children with allergic rhinitis
This study is a proof o concept aiming to determine the efficacy of Puressentiel nasal protective spray (PNPS) in patients with allergic rhinitis. Cross over study, with a nasal provocative test (NPT) in patients with allergic rhinitis sensitized to grass pollen. A day 0 (first NPT) the following outcomes are recorded: allergic Rhinitis control test (ARCT) and Inspiratory nasal peak flow (INPF) before and 30 min after the NPT. Nasal lavage is performed 30 min after the NPT and 3 cytokines (IL4, IL5 and IL13 are measured by ELISA. An other NPT is performed at day 30 and the same outcomes measured. 30 min before NPT 2 nasal sprays of PNPS are administered in each nostril in a randomized manner and cross over, the patient being is own control. The primary outcomes ins the IL4, IL5 and IL13 concentrations in the nasal lavage. ARCT and INPF are the secondary outcomes.
