Filter by:This is a Phase 3, randomized, parallel-group, multicenter, double-dummy, double-blind study with a screening period. Subjects will receive one of the following three treatment groups for 15 days: loratadine 10 mg/montelukast 10 mg combination, pseudoephedrine 240 mg, or placebo. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of the combination of loratadine/montelukast, a once-daily tablet containing 10 mg loratadine and 10 mg montelukast, compared with placebo in subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) in relieving the symptom of nasal congestion. The safety profile of combined loratadine/montelukast relative to placebo and pseudoephedrine will also be evaluated.
This study will test the effectiveness of an investigational treatment for patients with ragweed-induced asthma, sometimes called fall seasonal asthma. The treatment being tested is a series of anti-ragweed shots. The purpose of the study is to determine whether a short series of injections with Amb a 1-immunostimulatory oligodeoxyribonucleotide conjugate (AIC) can cause a long-lasting reduction in the symptoms of asthma that are caused by fall hay fever allergies.
The aim of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of ciclesonide nasal spray in children with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Ciclesonide will be administered intranasally at two dose levels once daily. The study consists of a baseline period (1 to 3 weeks) and a treatment period (2 weeks).
Allergic Rhinitis is an inflammatory disease which causes an influx of inflammatory cells and cytokines into the nasal mucosa. These biomarkers can also be found in the nasal secretions. The evaluation of these inflammatory biomarkers is of great interest as this could lead to a concept of measuring the efficacy of anti-allergic treatments by assessing the changes in nasal biomarkers after allergen challenge. To use this model as an assessment of pharmacodynamics it is crucial to evaluate the specificity and reproducibility of cellular and cytokine levels in the nasal secretions after allergen provocations. In a 2 part repeated measurement design 20 patients with allergic rhinitis and 20 healthy subjects will undergo two 4-hour pollen exposures in an interval of 21 days. The aim of this study is to explore the cellular and cytokine levels this allergen challenge will induce in nasal secretions and to assess if an increase in those inflammatory biomarkers is specific to the patient subgroup and whether the results are reproducible after the second allergen challenge.
This study will last up to 6 weeks. Subjects will visit the clinic up to 5 times. Certain clinic visits will include a physical examination, medical history review, and lung function tests. All study related medications and medical examinations will be provided at no cost to the subject. The drugs used in this study are approved for the age group under study.
The primary objective of this study is to isolate macrophages by using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for different in vitro experiments. Therefore, following a baseline BAL, allergen, endotoxin, and saline will be instilled into three different lung segments during the first bronchoscopy. After 24 hours during a second bronchoscopy, BAL fluid will be collected in these challenged segments to harvest invaded cells for in vitro experimentation. In addition, segmental bronchial biopsies will be taken to assess the degree of local inflammation.
To compare the clinical efficacy of levocetirizine 5 mg and montelukast 10 mg on symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis occurring in subjects exposed to ragweed pollen in an environmental exposure unit.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy comparability of cetirizine and levocetirizine, by comparing the effects of single intake of the two drugs to placebo in reducing symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR) in ragweed sensitive adult subjects exposed to ragweed pollen in an Environmental Exposure Unit.
This is the first proof of concept study for OC000459 and is undertaken to assess the effects of the compound on the development of inflammatory cytokines in a model (nasal allergen challenge model) that is validated and clinically safe and easy to conduct. OC000459 will be compared with placebo in the study. The study will be a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, crossover evaluation of the effect of OC000459 on cytokine secretion induced by nasal allergen challenge. Male subjects with a known history of allergic rhinitis and screening positive to allergen will be included. After dosing with OC000459 or placebo, nasal allergen challenge will be performed and measurements made in the nasal fluids. Nasal symptom scores will also be recorded. Safety parameters will be monitored throughout.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of GW685698X 100mcg once daily (QD) aqueous nasal spray with vehicle placebo nasal spray in adult and adolescent subjects (12 years of age and older) with perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR).
