Filter by:This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of omalizumab in adult patients with moderate to severe chronic urticaria who exhibit IgE against thyroperoxidase.
The purpose of this study is to determine how long the skin lesions usually last and what kind of symptoms and signs children with urticaria pigmentosa may develop over the years. This information will allow physicians to better care for patients who have been diagnosed with this disease and to provide their parents with more complete information regarding what to expect for the future of their child. This research is being done because many unanswered questions remain regarding children with urticaria pigmentosa and its course.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Bilastine 20 mg Q.D., compared to Levocetirizine 5 mg Q.D. and placebo for the treatment of Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria.
Patients with chronic urticaria undertake a five week elimination diet (pseudoallergen free diet). The efficacy of the diet will be determined by symptom score, by the use of rescue medication (oral antihistamines and glucocorticosteroids) and by a Quality of Life Questionnaire on week 0 and week 5. All patients with sufficient response (regarding the urticaria score) enter a second dietary part over six weeks, whereas a provocation diet is carried out. Each diet week a choice of pseudoallergen rich food is added, sorted by the type of pseudoallergens (e.g. biogenic amines, organic acids, flavours, additives). This study is conducted to investigate if the provocation diet could be a new diagnostic intervention to elucidate clinical relevant pseudoallergens.
Does presentation of clinical evidence for decision making at point-of-care improve prescribing patterns in ambulatory pediatrics?
Objective: To compare the efficacy of desloratadine 5mg (Denosin®) and levocetirizine 5mg (Xyzal®) once daily in the treatment of patients with CIU over 6 weeks. Trial design: Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study. Primary end point: To evaluate the change in average AM/PM reflective pruritus score from baseline recorded in the subjects’ diaries during the first two weeks of the treatment. Secondary Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of desloratadine 5mg (Denosin®) and levocetirizine 5mg (Xyzal®) once daily in the treatment of subjects with CIU over 6 weeks.
A study to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of Levocetirizine vs. Desloratadine in patients suffering from Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU) measured by the mean pruritus severity score over the first week of treatment
This study is being done to find out if a drug called Rituxan (Rituximab) is safe and effective in treating people with chronic urticaria (hives) with persistent symptoms in spite of taking antihistamines.
An open labelled trial of Kineret (anakinra) induction therapy (100mg./day) in over a four week period in the treatment of Familial Cold Urticaria. Familial Cold Urticaria (FCU) is a rare autosomal dominant condition manifesting symptoms triggered by exposure to cold and variable in expression. Currently there is no standard reliable agent available for the treatment of patients with FCU.This study will evaluate the efficacy of Kineret (anakinra), an interleukin 1 receptor antagonist in induction and maintenance therapy in patients with FCU.
· To evaluate the efficacy of rupatadine 10 and 20 mg for the treatment of CIU symptoms over four-week treatment period in comparison with placebo.
