Filter by:The trial involves two interventions: (i) exposure to HDM in the ACC and (ii) administration of dupilumab/placebo for dupilumab.
This study will investigate the role of dupilumab in the treatment of asthma with comorbid obesity. It is hypothesized that in airway epithelial cells, unique transcriptomic and proteomic expression patterns distinguish allergic and non-allergic patients with asthma and obesity and drive significant differential responses to dupilumab. It is further hypothesized that dupilumab will increase interleukin-13 receptor alpha 2 (IL-13Rα2) levels and/or signaling activity on airway epithelial cells isolated from allergic asthma patients with obesity. This is a pre-clinical research study of dupilumab-induced gene and protein expression analyses in nasal airway epithelial cells of adults with asthma and comorbid obesity. The study primarily seeks to: 1) assess the effect of dupilumab on transcriptomes, phosphoproteomes and secretomes of well-differentiated, primary airway epithelial cells as a function IL-13R subunit expression and IL-13Ra2 signaling, in allergic and non-allergic asthma patients with obesity; and 2) test whether dupilumab-induced gene and protein changes significantly correlate with parameters of airway inflammation in allergic and non-allergic asthma.
A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Subcutaneous Immunotherapy in Patients With Rhinitis With or Without Mild to Moderate Asthma Sensitized to cupressaceae and grasses.
Prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial of efficacy and safety with subcutaneous immunotherapy in patients with mild to moderate rhinitis / rhinoconjunctivitis with or without mild to moderate asthma sensitized to grasses and olive
A double-blinded, placebo-controlled, prospective, multicenter randomized of 2 active treatment groups, compared to 1 placebo group, for the determination of the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy in patients with rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis with mild to moderate asthma, sensitised to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and /or Dermatophagoides farinae.
Plant stanols are known to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. However, studies have suggested that these compounds also influence the immune system. Asthmatic responses are predominantly T helper (Th)2 cell dependent, while plant stanols were previously found to activate Th1 cells and shift the immune response away from the Th2 cell dominant asthmatic response. The question now is whether this also translates into a reduction of clinical symptoms in asthma patients.The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate clinical benefits of prolonged consumption of plant stanols (delivered via plant stanol esters) in asthma patients. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the mechanisms via which plant stanols modulate the immune system and to evaluate the effects of plant stanol ester consumption on cardiovascular (CVD) risk parameters.
Determining how memory T helper type 2 (Th2) initiate recall responses to aeroallergens has the potential to change the therapeutic approach to allergic asthma, the most common asthma subtype. ~5-10% of effector Th2 cells recruited into the lung give rise to long-lived tissue resident memory cells that are poised to respond upon allergen re-exposure.Consequently, targeting memory Th2 cell activation is an attractive therapeutic strategy. However, it is not well understood how allergen inhalation initiates a memory Th2 cell response in the lung. The focus of this new study on the role of lung-resident memory Th2 cells in orchestrating the recall response to allergen in the lung, including the recruitment and activation of circulating Th2 cells, is a natural, timely and exciting extension of the investigators' ongoing Allergen Challenge Protocol.
