Filter by:This is a mechanistic, controlled, open-label, single-site study to evaluate the effects of RG-RV16 inoculation on airway mucosal gene expression and airway remodeling in 25 healthy controls (HC), in 25 allergic rhinitis subjects (AR) with cat dander allergy, and in 25 allergic asthmatic subjects (AA) with cat dander allergy. Three groups (HC, AR, and AA) will undergo screening to establish clinical history, will undergo pulmonary function testing (spirometry), and will have blood drawn for clinical characterization (IgE, , ImmunoCAP, CBC and differential), and for assessing the presence of existing neutralizing antibody against RV16. Only those who meet criteria will be permitted to continue into the interventional and run-out phases of the study.
About 20% of the general population are affected by an allergy - with an upward trend. Quite often, allergic people do not consider their disease as serious and suffer from subsequent complications, like allergic asthma, later in their life. The sooner the allergen source is identified, the sooner the therapeutic intervention (e.g. dietary recommendations, allergen avoidance, anti-inflammatory treatment or allergen immunotherapy) can be started. Cross-reactivity may also play an important role. Therefore, a comprehensive allergy test is essential for an optimal treatment of patients. Modern multiplex testing is an individualized diagnostic approach, which may help to identify eligible patients for allergen immunotherapy and may identify risk groups by analyzing the sIgE profile. Until now, published data on the clinical usability of multiplex allergy diagnostic test systems are often limited. Even though, available studies show a good correlation between conventionally used multiplex or singleplex assays (ISAC or ImmunoCAP) and the new multiplex assay (ALEX and ALEX²), the results are often based on small sample sizes investigating many different allergens. Therefore, this clinical performance study is conducted to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the ALEX² IgE multiplex test using the Multi Array Explorer (MAX 45k, MacroArray Diagnostics) automated laboratory system in comparison to a conventional IgE singleplex test system as well as clinical symptoms and skin prick test results in a total of 826 patients. Patients with the most common inhalant allergies (e.g. grass pollen, house dust mite or cat allergy) will be included as well as patients suffering from Hymenoptera venom allergy, which is the major cause of anaphylaxis.
The primary objective is to evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909 (anti-Fel d 1) administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat in the prevention of a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge-induced early asthmatic response (EAR) assessed by measures of lung function (FEV1) compared to placebo-treated patients. Secondary Efficacy Objectives: - To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909 administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat, in the prevention of a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge-induced: Allergic rhinitis and Ocular symptoms - To evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of REGN1908-1909 administered as a single dose on day 1 in cat-allergic asthmatic patients not living with a cat to increase the exposure to cat allergen, measured as a product of minute ventilation and time, required to induce EAR in a Controlled Cat Allergen Challenge as compared to placebo patients Secondary Safety Objective: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of REGN1908-1909 vs. placebo in patients with cat allergen-triggered asthma
In the last decades the prevalence of allergies has reached epidemic proportions. 10 to 15% of the population suffers from cat allergy. Investigators perform this study in order to further investigate symptom records and their evaluation in cat allergic patients. Investigators primarily aim to better standardize the symptom recording of cat allergic persons under real-life conditions and to evaluate the effect of hypoallergenic cats on symptom strength.
The purpose of this study is to better standardize the symptom recording of cat allergic persons under real-life conditions. A new self-assessed, home-based symptom score will be tested.
The goal of this study is to identify changes in cells that are related to the treatment with Cat-PAD (ToleroMune Cat).
This trial will test whether a novel therapeutic approach, cat immunotherapy combined with an investigational new drug called MEDI9929/AMG 157 (an anti-TSLP [thymic stromal lymphopoietin] antibody being co-developed by Amgen and MedImmune) can lead to lasting tolerance to cat allergen.The objective of the study is to determine whether one year of immunotherapy combined with MEDI9929/AMG 157 can induce tolerance to cat allergen.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the continued effectiveness and safety of Cat-PAD in cat allergic subjects for up to five years after the start of administration of treatment. The study is an optional follow-up study to a phase III double-blind, placebo controlled, Cat-PAD study; no further investigational product is administered.
Cat allergy is an increasingly prevalent condition affecting 10-15% of patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma. The purpose of this optional observational follow-on study is to further evaluate rhinoconjunctivitis symptoms on exposure to cat dander in the EEC among subjects who completed all dosing visits in study CP005 and all visits in study CP005A approximately two years after the start of treatment.
Cat allergy is an increasingly prevalent condition, affecting 10-15% of patients with allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Cat-PAD is a novel, synthetic, allergen derived peptide desensitising vaccine currently being developed for treatment of cat allergy. At present, the efficacy of immunotherapy (peptide or otherwise) can only be established at the conclusion of therapy. No reliable predictive biomarkers of clinical efficacy currently exist. Identification of surrogate biomarkers of clinical efficacy, would facilitate clinical development of peptide immunotherapy vaccines, in addition to providing an improved understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms of efficacy, thus providing new leads for therapeutic intervention.
