Filter by:Efficacy/ safety for the combination of anti-IgE (Omalizumab) and specific immunotherapy (Depigoid) in patients with not adequately controlled seasonal allergic asthma and comorbid seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.
Native populations consuming high amounts of fish suffer less from allergic diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine whether polyunsaturated fatty acids (fish oil) might have a disease modifying influence on asthmatics sensitized to house dust mite.
The researcher proposes to assess levels of sputum inflammatory markers (eosinophils, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), neutrophils IL-8) before and while on anti-IgE therapy in a pediatric population of moderate to severe asthmatics who have ongoing persistent asthma symptoms despite on moderate to high doses of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Associations will be assessed between the types of sputum inflammatory markers and the patient's atopic status and level of asthma control as indicated by the following measures: 1. pulmonary function test (PFT) 2. asthma symptoms based on the Asthma Control Test (ACT)
This study is designed to investigate the use of omalizumab as a pretreatment for patients with persistent allergic asthma who are candidates for allergen immunotherapy (ie, allergy shots) and will test the hypothesis that omalizumab may reduce the rate of systemic reactions to immunotherapy in patients with persistent allergic asthma.
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that salmeterol use, and not fluticasone use or the combination treatment with fluticasone and salmeterol, is associated with a greater number of sputum eosinophils following antigen challenge and, under these circumstances, the migrating peripheral blood eosinophils are less adherent.
