Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about dosing when testing to see if a penicillin allergy label can be removed from adults that had been labeled as "penicillin-allergic" previously. The main question it aims to answer is: - In penicillin-allergic patients that are at low risk of having an allergic reaction, is a one-dose oral challenge with amoxicillin (a penicillin-based antibiotic) as safe and effective as a two-dose oral challenge? Participants will, after being identified as having a low-risk penicillin allergy, be administered oral amoxicillin in a controlled setting and then monitored for an allergic reaction. Researchers will compare participants that took one dose of amoxicillin to participants that took two doses of amoxicillin (a small dose and then a larger dose) to see if either group was more likely to develop an allergic reaction.
This non-inferiority study aims to determine whether a hydrolysed rice protein formula is as effective as a cow's milk protein based extensively hydrolysed formula using a double-blind, randomised-controlled design over a 28-day intervention period followed by a 2-month follow-up period in infants 0-13 months of age presenting with symptoms/clinical history suggestive of cow's milk allergy. The primary outcome is growth, and secondary outcomes are gastrointestinal tolerance, and differences in intake, allergic symptoms, parental QOL, acceptability, dietary intake, and safety.
To assess the impact of the use of 5% Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate or 8% Arginine dentifrices on dentinal hypersensitivity following non-surgical periodontal therapy in patients with periodontitis.
The goal of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of a change in management approach for infants with newly diagnosed egg allergy. Infants with newly diagnosed egg allergy will have egg introduced via a gradual and graded home based approach known as an "egg ladder" supervised by a dietitian. The main questions this study aims to answer are how safe and feasible are home-based dietitian-led "egg ladders" as a treatment pathway to achieve tolerance of egg for newly diagnosed infants with egg allergy.
This is a patient level randomized trial for teenagers and adults with asthma who will be randomized to four arms - enhance usual care, rescue inhaled corticosteroids, azithromycin and both rescue inhaled corticosteroids and azithromycin. Participants in all arms will be offered access to an online asthma symptom monitoring system.
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the sensitization (contact allergy) potential of the test product ColActive Plus Collagen Matrix Dressing after a skin prick test on the skin of healthy human subjects. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does the product induce any sensitization (contact allergy) after a skin prick using a UniTest PC (pain control) device in healthy human subjects? Participants will have the test product and both positive and negative controls applied, and skin response will be evaluated by an allergist at 15 minutes, 6 hours, and 24-48 hours post-application to see if sensitization occurs.
Protocols for Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for the main food allergens have been recently incorporated in clinical practice for food allergies and their clinical benefits have been acknowledged in European and Canadian official guidelines. There has been some reluctance in both clinicians and patients to implement these therapies, primarily because of the risk of allergic reactions during the desensitization process. This study will investigate if protocols using low doses of a food allergen or processed versions of the allergen can be both effective in conferring desensitization while inducing fewer allergic symptoms during the desensitization process.
This phase II trial compares the effect of FDG-positron emission tomography (PET)-guided metastasis directed radiation therapy (MDRT) in combination with standard treatments to standard treatments alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that is sensitive to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, despite the approval of several life-prolonging treatments by the Food and Drug Administration. However, over the past 10 years, there have been significant improvements in prolonging the lives of those with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer, specifically by adding treatments to standard therapy, such as ADT. More recently, trials have demonstrated a benefit of using radiotherapy (high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors) to delay the progression of cancer and prolong life for patients with metastatic disease. Imaging scans with FDG-PET may be able to identify cancer sites that remain active despite standard treatment. Giving MDRT plus standard treatment to patients with FDG-PET-identified cancer sites may work better than standard treatment alone in treating metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) accounts for about 15% to 20% of childhood leukemia, but the death rate accounts for about 50%. About 20-30% of children with AML did not achieve complete response (CR) after 2 induction treatments, and about 30% of children with CR had relapse within 3 years (including recurrence after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation).Relapsed/refractory (R/R) AML is a major cause of treatment failure and refractory survival. Reinduction chemotherapy for R/R-AML to obtain CR again, followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, is the current treatment. At present, there is no recognized reinduction protocol, and the reinduction remission rate of R/R-AML varies greatly among different treatment regimens, ranging from 23 to 81%. Current guidelines recommend a new combination chemotherapy regimen consisting of new drugs without cross-resistance. This method selects sensitive chemotherapeutic drugs, and then forms a new combination chemotherapy regimen according to the characteristics of drugs, which is the choice of R/R-AML reinduction therapy.This study intends to conduct a clinical study on the individualized treatment of R/R AML patients through in vitro drug sensitivity test combined with patient transcriptomic characteristics.
Cerebral cortical microinfarctions (CMI) are frequently observed on MRI and histology studies, especially in elderly patients and in patients with cognitive dysfunction. The majority of these studies analysed chronic cerebral CMI lesions. The few studies reporting on temporal dynamics of MRI signal of acute cerebral CMI showed very low sensibility for persisting signal changes on follow-up MRI on standard MRI sequences. A retrospective study, analysing follow-up 3T MRI in 25 patients with acute cerebral CMI (defined as ≤10 mm on DWI), showed a chronic cerebral CMI detection rate of only 16% on T2-weighted and 5% on FLAIR imaging after a mean follow-up period of 33 months (with a very wide range of 0.5-142 months). Another 3T MRI study including seven patients showed disappearance of all acute cerebral very small-sized CMI (defined as <5 mm size on initial DWI) on all follow-up MRI sequences (T1- and T2-weighted and FLAIR imaging, performed after one month). Recently, it has been shown that chronic relatively small (<20 mm) cerebellar cortical infarctions (based on diffusion-weighted imaging) were frequently observed in acute stroke patients, especially in case of cardioembolic stroke (with chronic small cerebellar cortical infarctions observed in 32% of cases). The high prevalence of these chronic small cerebellar cortical infarctions suggest a possible higher detection rate of chronic small-sized infarction in the cerebellum compared to the supratentorial brain.
