Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a neuropeptide, substance P, when injected along with an allergen, such as ragweed, can reduce allergic reactivity.


Description:

Allergic Rhinitis (Hay fever) affects many children and adults and is a risk factor for development of asthma. This study utilizes the neurotransmitter, substance P, a small molecule which is present in nerve endings, the brain, skin, lungs and the gastrointestinal tract. Subjects will receive substance P and a low dosage of an allergen, such as ragweed in an attempt to reduce allergic reactivity.
