Filter by:At present there is no cure for food allergy. People with a food allergy need to avoid the food they are allergic to in order to stay safe. However we know that accidental exposure is common. Researchers have begun to look at the effectiveness of 'oral immunotherapy' as a treatment for food allergy but results have been mixed. This study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of Probiotic and Peanut Oral Immunotherapy (PPOIT) in inducing tolerance in children with peanut allergy compared with Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) alone and with Placebo. Children will take increasing doses of peanut protein and a set amount of probiotic until a total of 18 months treatment is completed. Children will be tested for peanut allergy at the start of the study, at the end of PPOIT treatment T1 (18 months) and T2 (8 weeks) and T3 (1year) after treatment.
The purpose of the study is to assess if the addition of darolutamide to ADT compared with ADT alone would result in superior clinical efficacy in participants with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) by progression-free survival. The researchers want to learn how long it takes for the cancer to get worse (also known as "progression-free survival") by either increasing symptoms, new metastases, PSA rise or death. All participants will be on treatment and take darolutamide with ADT until their cancer spreads, they have a medical problem, or they leave the study. The results will then be compared with patients' results from another study who received ADT alone (CHAARTED). This study will also assess safety by gathering adverse event information throughout the duration of the study. An adverse event is any medical problem, related or not to study treatment that a participant has during a study. The study drug, darolutamide, is already available for doctors to prescribe to patients with prostate cancer that has not yet spread to other parts of the body. It works by blocking a protein called a receptor from attaching to a hormone called androgen that is found in men. This protein can also be found in prostate cancer cells. ADT is a treatment that doctors are currently able to prescribe to patients with mHSPC. ADT is used to lower the amount of the androgen hormone.
Observational study exploring the clinical outcomes of infants with cow's milk allergy who are prescribed a hypoallergenic formula containing synbiotics.
PICCOLO (IMGN853-0419) is a Phase 2 multicenter, open label study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Mirvetuximab Soravtansine in participants with platinum-sensitive ovarian, primary peritoneal or fallopian tube cancers with high folate receptor-alpha (FRα) expression.
This is a Phase 1b/2, randomized, double-blind, multi-center study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical efficacy of STMC-103H in neonates and infants at risk for developing allergic disease (Type 1 hypersensitivity). Subjects will be enrolled in a three-part sequential approach. Participants in the safety-run portion of the study (Part A1: 1 year to <6 years of age and A2: 1 month to <12 months of age) will receive 28 days of treatment with STMC-103H or placebo, followed by 28 days of follow-up. A Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) will review safety data after all patients in each part complete 28 days of therapy prior to enrolling the next part. After A2, Part B will enroll 224 patients for 336 days of treatment with STMC-103H or placebo, followed by 336 days of follow-up. Stool, blood, and optional samples will be collected in Parts A2 and part B. Primary safety endpoints are frequency, type and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), as well as findings on physical exams, vitals, and safety laboratories. The primary efficacy endpoint is incidence of physician-diagnosed atopic dermatitis at day 336.
This study will assess the efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab plus enzalutamide plus ADT versus placebo plus enzalutamide plus ADT in Chinese participants with mHSPC. The primary hypothesis is that in participants with mHSPC, the combination of pembrolizumab plus enzalutamide plus ADT is superior to placebo plus enzalutamide plus ADT with respect to 1) radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) and 2) overall survival (OS). As of Amendment 4, the study is being stopped for futility. All the prespecified interim analysis after interim analysis (IA1) and final analysis of the study described the statistical analysis plan (SAP) will not be performed. Safety analysis will be performed at the end of the study; there will be no further analyses for efficacy and electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) endpoints collected from participants beyond the IA1 cutoff date. All study participants will stop ongoing treatment with pembrolizumab/placebo. Exceptions may be requested for study participants who, in the assessment of their study physician, are benefitting from the combination of enzalutamide and pembrolizumab, after consulting with the Sponsor. All other study participants should be discontinued from study and be offered standard of care (SOC) treatment as deemed necessary by the Investigator. If enzalutamide as SOC is not accessible off study to the participant, central sourcing may continue. As of Amendment 04, disease progression will no longer be centrally verified, participants will only be assessed locally. As of Amendment 4, Second Course treatment is not an option for participants. There are currently no participants in the Second Course Phase.
In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators intend to measure the health impact of time-restricted eating (TRE) in obese patients (body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m2), who habitually eat for more than 14 hours every day. Patients will be randomly assigned to a control group of behavioral nutritional counseling (standard of care) or the intervention group of behavioral nutrition counseling with the addition of adopting a 10-hour eating window for 12 weeks (TRE).
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of the product M89 probiotic fractions in improving the symptoms of rosacea patients with sensitive skin after 30 days of treatment, in comparison with an area treated with the habitual skin care product. 20 women with sensitive skin (positive reaction to stinging test), suffering from persistent centrofacial erythema of rosacea with no more than 3 papules and pustules apply the product on half a face, twice a day, for 30 days. The subjects use their habitual skin care product on the other side of the face. The product efficacy is supported by significant improvements in the mean basal values of the following instrumental parameters: skin hydration (increase), trans-epidermal water loss (decrease), skin erythema (a* parameter decrease). The efficacy and the tolerability of the product is also showed by a visual clinical assessment of the face skin conditions and by stinging test. Digital images of the face of the subjects were also taken at each control time. Furthermore, the volunteers express their judgement on the efficacy and the pleasantness of the product by means of a self-assessment questionnaire.
Digital technology is essential in the field of health, via connected objects, the medical Internet or even telemedicine; and the info-communication practices (ways of getting information and communicating) of the actors go through digital devices. In addition, at present, the mass of activity documents to be managed in healthcare establishments and an abundant supply of documentary resources in health, available on the Internet, lead to infobesity, information pollution, and work overload. These phenomena lead to an increase in the time spent searching for relevant information and even to the burnout of healthcare professionals. A contextualization of the information communication systems through which the practices of health professionals pass therefore seems necessary so that the tools for managing, extracting and organizing knowledge can support these actors in their work. In the field of allergies, there are many players, and the information that is useful to them is abundant and heterogeneous. This study is based on the hypothesis that a knowledge organization model, developed from existing practices, could make it possible to obtain satisfactory results when searching for information, and be integrated into the daily practices of actors by linking up with other already existing systems and tools.
Several protocols have been proposed in scientifis literature, for oral tolerance induction (OIT) protocols for peanuts. A meta-analysis showed that the data in the literature are rather in favor of the exclusion of peanuts, and that OIT doesn't allow to expect significant levels of peanut protein consumed by the patient, and is associated with an increased risk of anaphylaxis and epinephrine use. Also, in most published protocols, patients with a history of anaphylactic shock, severe asthma, or multiple history of anaphylaxis are excluded. To date, no protocol has been validated for this type of treatment, and each center follows locally validated schemes. In our unit, the investigators use an OIT protocol that starts at low doses (first dose at 2.68 mg peanut protein) and doses increase is scheduled every 4 to 12 weeks (instead of every 2 weeks). The investigators do not exclude patients with asthma or those with a history of peanut anaphylaxis (grade 2 or 3). The investigators have noted that our protocol is associated with a good safety profile and good efficacy, probably due to the fact that the investigators start at low doses and increase the dose with a prolonged delay, compared to previously published protocols. For this reason, the investigators decided to evaluate the results the investigators obtained in our patients and to better analyze the efficacy and safety profile of our protocol.
