Filter by:The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Bilastine 20 mg, compared to Cetirizine and placebo for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis.
The primary objective of the study is to compare nighttime symptom relief of fluticasone furoate nasal spray versus oral fexofenadine
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) works to relieve SAR symptoms compared to Placebo when symptoms are induced in a chamber setting. Evaluation will be based on subjects self-assessed nose symptoms. Other areas the study will evaluate are: 1) changes in eye symptoms (ocular symptom severity score) after dosing 2) how long MFNS works in relieving the nose (nasal) and eye (ocular) symptoms after 7 daily doses, 3) measurements of nose (nasal) blockage (obstruction), and 4) measurements of the subject's opinion of the study drugs by asking different questions. This study is could last up to 53 days for some subjects.
Study objective is to verify the superiority of CTZ DS to the placebo groups in the change of total nasal symptom score (TNSS) over the total treatment period from the score of the baseline assessment period.
The investigators wish to evaluate the onset of tolerance to nasal decongestants like oxymetazoline (available over the counter) and the mechanism of tolerance particularly with differential effects on alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenoreceptors on the nose. The investigators will 'tease' out by using an alpha 1 blocker called Prazosin. The investigators hypothesize that alpha 1 receptors mediate arterial constriction and this will be captured by measuring nasal blood flow. The investigators also hypothesize that alpha 2 receptors mediate venous sinusoid constriction and this the investigators will capture by airflow parameters like Peak Nasal Inspiratory Flow, Rhinomanometry, Oscillometric indices etc.
The current study will investigate nasal inflammatory markers obtained by filter paper collection techniques, in subjects with allergic rhinitis, determining the most appropriate time points and handling conditions, prior to running a larger study with subjects with allergic rhinitis.
We hypothesize that specifically selected probiotics can alleviate symptoms of allergy in lactose tolerant individuals. Two strains of probiotics, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1, and Bifidobacterium adolescentis 7007-05 will be used to create a yogurt product. Additionally a non-probiotic yogurt product will also be made as a placebo. Allergy sufferers will be asked to consume one of the two types of yogurts (blinded) for two months. During the two months there will be 3 sampling days, for blood samples and nasal lavage samples. Additionally Mini Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaires will be filled out weekly over the two months. After the two months of perceived responses as well sample analysis we should have a better idea of how these specific probiotic effect the immune system and allergies.
A previous study has shown very clearly that the treatment with the combination of cetirizine and pseudoephedrine is superior to the treatment with the single agents regarding the reduction of symptoms in patients with allergic rhinitis. These data, obtained after controlled pollen exposure out of the pollen season, showed highly reproducible individual responses prior to dosing. It is not clear, however, whether the same results can be obtained during the pollen season, when additional natural pollen exposure may influence the variability of the individual reactions.
This study is designed to assess the effectiveness of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) once daily compared with placebo in subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) in reducing the total symptom score.
This current study is planned as a dedicated pharmacodynamic (effect of drug on the body) study to investigate the dose response in rhinitic subjects at doses where GSK256066 has been proven to work (200mcg) or expected to (50mcg) work. This study also aims to investigate the lower end of the predicted therapeutic range.
