Filter by:The goal of this Method Comparison Study is to compare total IgE results obtained from at least 360 subjects aged less than 80 years old using four different testing arms comprising three types of samples and two testing methods. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are the Kenota 1 Devices easy to use by untrained operators at a clinic environment? - Do tIgE results provided by the Kenota 1 Devices match the results provided by the FDA-cleared Phadia ImmunoCAP System? Subjects will be asked to donate two fingerstick whole blood samples and one venous blood draw.
The objectives of this study are (i) to evaluate the efficacy of oral immunotherapy to pistachio by evaluating the daily oral tolerance of 2g pistachio, by evaluating the long-term tolerance of 15g pistachio (sustained unresponsiveness) and by decreasing pistachio-specific IgE, (ii) evaluating the efficacy of pistachio immunotherapy on cashew tolerance, (iii) and to evaluate the safety of pistachio immunotherapy.
Background: Global guidelines recommend the use of personal protective equipment due to the high risk of contagiousness of COVID-19 disease. The increase in COVİD-19 patients in the last two years has increased the rate of use of latex gloves in nurses. It is not known how the increase in the use of latex gloves affects the complaints of latex allergy in nurses. Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the rates of latex glove use and allergic complaints related to the use of latex gloves during the COVID-19 pandemic in hospital nurses.
Sensitive skin is a subjective cutaneous hyper-reactivity to environmental factors. People report exaggerated reactions when their skin, especially on the face, is in contact with substances such as cosmetics. For this reason, Toleriane Ultra has been developed to limit the risk of allergy and relieve skin discomfort. The study aims at demonstrating that Toleriane Ultra is well tolerated in participants with allergic background and having experienced former intolerance to their cosmetic or toiletries routine, and improves skin sensitivity in such individuals. This open-labeled, multicenter study was conducted under dermatological control in Caucasian subjects above 16 years of age with an allergic background and intolerance to cosmetics lasting for at least 2 years prior to inclusion. The dermocosmetic product was to be applied on the entire face twice daily for 28 days.
Clinical trial with the aim to evaluate the level of agreement in wheal size measures in allergy skin prick testing (SPT) between the electro-medical device Nexkin DSPT® and the manual measurement procedure used in the daily practice.
Healsea® Children is a seawater-based nasal spray supplemented with a natural Symbiofilm® extract (0.02%) isolated from marine bacteria. Symbiofilm has antibiofilm activity against various bacterial pathogens involved in respiratory tract infections.Healsea® Children is indicated in the cleaning and moistening of nasal mucosa during common cold and rhinitis for children above 6 years. This non interventional post-market clinical investigation aimed to confirm the benefit of Healsea® Children in real life setting in children with perennial allergy who are more prone to common cold.
This is a 2 year clinical study to compare 5-grass mix SLIT-drops with placebo in relieving grass pollen-induced rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms and in use of symptom-relieving medication during the second grass pollen season (peak grass pollen season, PGPS) The study will collect health-related quality of life data in the groups treated with 5-grass mix SLIT-drops or with placebo during the first and second PGPS. The trial medication used is already approved to treat allergic rhinitis caused by grass pollen in adults in several countries.
This is a clinical study in children and adolescents (5-17 years) with allergy to pollen from birch (or related trees). It compares the tree SLIT-tablet with placebo in relieving rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms during the birch/tree pollen season based on the average allergic rhinoconjunctivitis daily total combined score. The study will also collect health-related quality of life information in the groups treated with the tree SLIT-tablet or with placebo during the pollen season. The trial medication used is already approved to treat allergic rhinitis caused by birch/tree pollen in adults in several countries?.
People with severe allergy often experience distress but research exploring psychological interventions for them is limited. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is routinely used in NHS services. The research investigators would like to know whether a short term CBT group is feasible and acceptable for those with severe allergy who are also experiencing distress and/or anxiety. The research investigators will recruit people with allergy through support groups and social media. Those interested in the study will be invited to complete a screening interview. If the participants meet the inclusion criteria and consent to take part the participants will be randomly allocated into the CBT or a self-help group. Full written consent will be needed at the telephone screening session if participants are eligible for the study. Participants will be given time to complete this prior to the intervention. Participants will be able to withdraw at any point during the study. The self-help group will be sent self-help materials. The CBT group will attend a single session day workshop based on CBT (maximum 6 hours length). Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the workshop may need to be delivered online. If delivered online, the workshop may be delivered over two three hour sessions. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires at baseline, the day of the intervention, one month later and three months later. They will be asked to complete a feedback form about their experiences in the group and at three month follow up, a small subsample of participants will be invited to interview. Once the data is analysed it will be written up into a report for a clinical psychology doctoral qualification major research project. It may also be published in academic journals and presented at conferences. A possible outcome of the research is that people with allergy either do or do not find the workshops an acceptable and/or feasible intervention. It will identify the potential for this intervention to reduce distress and anxiety and to improve coping skills in adults with allergy. Those who take part are welcome to contact the researchers to find out the results of the study.
Food allergy derives from a dysregulation of oral tolerance mechanisms. Studies suggest a crucial role for gut microbiota in oral tolerance development. An altered composition of gut microbiota results in an unbalanced local and systemic immune response to food allergens. There are qualitative and quantitative differences in gut microbiota composition in children with food allergy. Preliminary results of MATFA study demonstrated gut microbiota in allergic children.These findings support the pivotal role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases and may open new strategies in the development of innovative preventive and therapeutic approaches.
