Filter by:Based on EMA (European Medicines Agency) new guidelines on the clinical development of products for immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic diseases the aim of this study was to assess safety and tolerability of 3 different subcutaneous immunotherapy dose escalations in patients allergic to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus.
Grass pollen and house dust mites (HDM) are the most common allergens causing allergic rhino-conjunctivitis (RC) and/or asthma (A). Subcutaneous allergen specific immunotherapy (SCIT) reduces symptoms and use of medication. The purpose of SABAL is to assess the effect of SCIT on disease severity classifications in terms of number of days affected- and sick days on patients with grass pollen and/or HDM induced disease. These outcome measures will be gathered in one single measure: Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY)
Viral conjunctivitis causes redness, tearing, swelling, and irritation of the eyes that typically lasts from 1 to 3 weeks. Current management of this condition focuses on supportive care while the viral infection completes its course and resolves. However, many patients still experience substantial discomfort despite standard treatments, and, given the disproportionate morbidity and potential economic impact associated with an outbreak of infective conjunctivitis, a therapeutic agent that reduces clinical symptoms of and minimizes shedding of infectious virus would be desirable. Povidone-iodine is an antiseptic extensively used in preparation for general surgery, ophthalmic purposes, and laboratory disinfection. Dilute povidone-iodine solutions inhibit numerous viruses, bacteria, fungi, and some other parasites. Low cost, effectiveness, and lack of microbial resistance make povidone-iodine an appealing drug to treat ocular infections, especially in developing countries. Previously studies showed that povidone-iodine is a potential option to reduce contagiousness in cases of adenoviral infections. Dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% it is a mixture containing a steroid and antiseptic is promising as a suitable therapeutic agent for the treatment of EKC. A small, prospective, open-label, single-armed clinical trial of dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% administration in humans with symptoms of acute conjunctivitis who tested positive for adenoviral antigen was therapeutically successful. In other study, dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% combination markedly lowered the viral concentration and improved the manifestations of the disease. So, the favorable human data in combination with in vivo results provide a strong impetus for a human phase III clinical trial to test the efficacy of this drug in a larger group and also to evaluate complete safety to properly establish the therapeutic benefit versus adverse effect for these reasons, the investigators chose to study the efficacy of dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% in treating the symptoms and signs of viral conjunctivitis. The administration of dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% can be a secure, tolerable and affective treatment to inflammatory and infective component of acute viral conjunctivitis.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of AL-4943A ophthalmic solution for the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis using the Conjunctival Allergen Challenge (CAC) model.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the relative efficacy of Ectoin® Allergy Eye Drops and Ectoine® Allergy Nasal Spray compared to placebo, by evaluating Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) and Total Ocular Symptom Score (TOSS). The secondary objectives are : - To evaluate the relative efficacy of Ectoin® Allergy Eye Drops and Ectoin® Allergy Nasal Spray compared to placebo by evaluating Total Non Nasal Symptom Score (TNNSS), congestion symptom scores, red eye symptom scores, watery eye symptom scores, itchy eye symptom scores, and by evaluating the mean cross-sectional area (MCA) using acoustic rhinometry (AcR). - To assess the change from baseline (post-EEC from pre-EEC) in inflammatory parameters of nasal secretions, comparing Ectoin® Allergy Eye Drops and Ectoin® Allergy Nasal Spray to placebo at each post-treatment visit.
This randomized, double masked, multi-center study is being conducted to support the safety and efficacy of FST-100 for the treatment of acute adenoviral conjunctivitis.
This study will evaluate the duration of action of LASTACAFT® and Pataday™ as compared to artificial tears (placebo) in the prevention of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
Allergen-specific immunotherapy is the only causal therapy of Immunoglobulin E-induced allergies like allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Despite progress during the last decades it is limited by a long treatment time and high non-responder frequency. Based on experimental and epidemiological evidences we hypothesize that vitamin D can act as an effective immunomodulatory adjuvant to overcome these limitations.
This randomized, double masked, multi-center study is being conducted to support the safety and efficacy of FST-100 for the treatment of acute viral conjunctivitis. The study intends to show superiority of FST-100 ophthalmic suspension compared to vehicle for clinical resolution of acute viral conjunctivitis.
Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) afflicts approximately 20% of the US population. Typically, patients manifest symptoms in the spring, summer and fall, when airborne allergens are at their peak. Patients may also be afflicted year-round, if sensitive to allergens such as dust mites or pet dander. Signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis are conjunctival hyperemia, ocular itching, conjunctival and eyelid edema, papillary hypertrophy, tearing and burning. This is a randomized clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of Bepreve® (bepotastine besilate 1.5% ophthalmic solution) compared to Alrex® (loteprednol etabonate 0.2%) in the treatment of moderate to severe allergic conjunctivitis in patient over the age of 18 years. The study will be a two-week study with four visits. Ocular signs (eye redness( and symptoms (itching) will be monitored as outcome variables.
