Filter by:This study evaluates blood type 2 innate lymphoid cells in participants with mild to moderate asthma and participants with chronic urticaria as compared to healthy adult participants.
This is a double-blind, randomized, parallel groups Phase II trial. Patients with platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer, defined as a lack of progression by RECIST v1.1 criteria following completion of standard-of-care chemotherapy, including a minimum of 4 cycles of a platinum-containing regimen. Patients will be randomized to either the vaccine regimen with GM-CSF adjuvant or GM-CSF adjuvant alone as a control group. Treatment will be administered as a consolidation therapy within one year of the last administration of platinum, targeting the first remission.
Patients are being offered participation in this pirfenidone trial because They have been diagnosed with fibrotic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (FHP), a type of interstitial lung disease (ILD). This is a disease where scarring of lung tissue occurs as the result of inhaling substances called antigens. These antigens can be substances such as molds, chemicals or dust. As a result of this scarring the lungs are is not able to move oxygen into the bloodstream to reach other organs. Currently over 1400 subjects have been treated with pirfenidone in 15 clinical trials. This drug has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a different type of ILD, but requires special permission for use in your condition. The use of pirfenidone has not been approved for the treatment of FHP. It is considered experimental treatment in this study.
Patients with a complete drug allergy work-up to betalactam antibiotics were contacted (by mail) and asked to answer a questionnaire regarding the tolerance upon readministration of a negatively tested beta-lactam.
Primary Endpoint -The percentage of subjects who develop tolerance to cow's milk protein by 12 months post randomization to study formula. Secondary Endpoints - Tolerance - The transcriptional profile of milk-specific T cells by clinical outcome. - Growth and Weight Velocity - Stool Consistency and Frequency - The estimated frequency of milk-specific T cells by clinical outcome. - The TCR diversity of milk-specific T cells by clinical outcome. - The milk allergen component-specific IgE, IgG4 and IgA by clinical outcome. - Safety - The rate of reported adverse events by treatment group.
This is a research study intending to look at the response of a specific type of allergy cells in the blood (called T cells) to a a type of immunotherapy product known as SPIREs (Synthetic Peptide Immuno-Regulatory Epitopes), across a broad range of subjects. This is a non-interventional study in which no investigational product will be administered to any subject.
Recently, there has been an increasing interest in using traditional Chinese medicine for food allergy. The Harvard group has successfully demonstrated the Food Allergy Herbal Formula - FAHF2 completely blocked peanut-induced anaphylaxis in a murine model, and currently being studied in human. Therefore, in collaboration with the Institute of Chinese Medicine, CUHK, the investigators have developed a more simplified Chinese herbal formula - X (CHFX), containing four food-grade Chinese herbs, Wu-mei (Fructus Pruni Mume); Ling-zhi (Gonoderma); Huang-bai (Cortex Phellodendron) and Zhi-su (Perilla frutescens). In the present study, the investigators would like to examine whether there is reduction in allergic symptoms in food challenge after administering the CHFX for 8 weeks. There will be pre- and post- CHFX food challenges and other related tests.
This is a multicenter, controlled, randomized, prospective, non-inferiority, double blind intervention trial to evaluate the children growth (at 6, 9 and 12 months) using a rice hydrolysed protein formula compared to an extensively cow's milk protein hydrolysed formula for the management of Cow's Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA).
The goal of the study is to determine accurate blood test levels that can predict whether or not subjects are truly allergic to certain foods. In this study, subjects that are clinically documented to be wheat-allergic will participate in a double blind oral food challenge. Blood will be collected from the subject to evaluate the potential allergenicity of proteins introduced into genetically modified crops and evaluate wheat-specific immunoglobulin-e (IgE) antibody reactivity to biotech and conventional wheat varieties.
To determine whether pharmacologic inhibition of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) with eritoran for injection (E5564) will reduce inflammation and improve glucose metabolism in insulin resistant (obese and T2DM) subjects.
