Filter by:It is not proven unequivocally whether a combination of an intranasal corticosteroids (INS) and a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist has greater efficacy than INS in the treatment of severe allergic rhinitis (AR) . We performed a randomized, open-label study in 46 seasonal AR subjects receiving budesonide (BD, 256ug) plus montelukast (MNT, 10 mg) or BD alone (256ug) for 2 weeks. Visual analog scale (VAS) scores, nasal cavity volume (NCV), nasal airway resistance (NAR) and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) were assessed before and at end of treatments as the primary treatment outcomes. Similarly, histamine, eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and cysteinyl-leukotrienes (Cyslts) in nasal secretion and Th1/Th2 cells in nasal mucosa were evaluated as the secondary treatment outcomes.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common disease of nasal mucosa, affecting 10% to 40% of the population globally. Allergen specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the only etiological treatment available for AR.Traditionally, AIT is divided into subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT). Artemisia annua is one of the most important allergen that is responsible for seasonal AR in China during July and October. The trial is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentred, phase III trial. 702 subjects with allergic rhinitis caused by Artemisia pollen were recruited and randomized to the immunotherapy group and placebo group.
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is triggered by environmental allergens such as pollen and mites, and is associated with several symptoms such as itching and nasal congestion, sneezing or tearing and redness of the eyes. RA can affect patients life quality who suffer it, reducing the quality of sleep and cognitive function, causing irritability and fatigue and, consequently a decrease in work performance. Because the existing pharmacological treatments for RA are not entirely effective, it is of interest to find other means to enhance the effects of these drugs and decrease more effectively the signs and symptoms associated with RA. In this context, RA has been related to an alteration of the intestinal microbiota (MI).However, there is a need to characterize in detail the MI of individuals who suffer RA. The main objective of the present study is to characterize the MI of individuals with RA, compared with people without RA. In addition, the secondary objective is to study the association between characteristics of the MI of individuals with RA and different immunological markers.
There is increasing evidence that the effectiveness of allergy immunotherapy to control symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis is related to the cumulative dose of allergen or allergoid administered during a single regimen of subcutaneous (SC) injections or of sublingual administration. Previously, high cumulative doses of the Grass MATA MPL 10200 and 18200 SU (Standardized Units) were compared with the marketed dose of 5100 SU and were found to have acceptable tolerability and safety. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of an even higher cumulative dose regimen of 35600 SU. of Grass MATA MPL compared with placebo in patients with seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (SAR) due to grass pollen, to enable selection of the best dose to take forward for further development.
Rhinitis, or inflammation of the nasal mucosa, can present with nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, itch or sneezing. If the sinusal mucosa is involved as well, it is called rhinosinusitis and facial pain or loss of smell is possible. Several causes are known, such as an underlying allergy ("allergic rhinitis", AR). If at least 2 symptoms are present for at least 12 weeks, it is called "chronic rhinosinusitis" (CRS). Up to 2/3 of the AR and CRS patients have symptoms upon exposure to triggers such as sudden temperature changes, smoke, fragrances… a phenomenon called "nasal hyperreactivity" (NHR). It is currently not clear why some patients suffer NHR while others do not. In this study, the investigators want to determine the prevalence and severity of nasal hyperreactivity in patients with chronic upper airway inflammation. To this end, patients and healthy controls will be asked to fill out a questionnaire inquiring presence and severity of nasal symptoms upon exposure to particular environmental triggers.
This is a Phase 2a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Norketotifen (NKT) in subjects with allergic rhinitis.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mometasone furoate (SCH 32088) aqueous nasal spray 200 mcg once daily compared to placebo once daily in the treatment of participants with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Flonase (fluticasone propionate) nasal spray 200 mcg once daily has been chosen as the active control for this study.
The purpose of this study was to identify the lowest dosage of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) that provided adequate efficacy with an acceptable safety profile for children (ages 6-11) with seasonal allergic rhinitis (SAR). The MFNS dose levels of 25, 100, and 200 mcg QD were compared with beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), as an active control, and placebo.
This study investigated the onset of symptom relief following initiation of treatment with mometasone furoate (MK-0887/SCH 032088) 200 mcg administered once daily compared with placebo for 14 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) with the addition of loratadine vs MFNS alone, loratadine alone, or placebo, in the treatment of patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis.
