This is a phase II, double-blind, randomized, parallel group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety of 2-dose UB-221 IV infusion as an add-on therapy in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria. The study will be conducted at multiple study centers in Taiwan. Approximate 25 eligible subjects will be randomized into two UB-221 (5 &10 mg/kg) and one placebo (saline) cohorts in a ratio of 2:2:1. The study consists of a pre-screening period (Day -42 to -29), a screening period (Day -28 to -1), a dose 1 period (Day 0 to 83), and a dose 2 period (Day 84 to 196).
Isolated urticaria in the emergency department is widely treated by physicians with histamine blocking agents such as diphenhydramine, cetirizine, and cimetidine. Doxepin is a tricyclic antidepressant that has been shown to have much higher concentrations of histamine blocking activity and therefore may be useful in treating urticaria. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of using doxepin verses a traditional medication, diphenhydramine (Benadryl), in the treatment of isolated urticaria in the emergency department.
Urticaria is a common skin disorder and 15-25% of people experience at least one attack of urticaria during their lifetime. Urticaria can be divided into acute urticaria (AU) and chronic urticaria (CU). CU is more common in adults, and affects women more frequently than men. According to Chinese medicine (CM) theory, CU is known as Yin Zhen. Nowadays, CM is widely used for managing CU in Hong Kong and mainland. Among different Chinese herbal formulae for urticaria, Xiao-Feng Powder (XFP), also known as Wind-Dispersing Powder, is one of the most frequently used Chinese herbal formulae for CU. This study used modified Xiao-Feng Powder (mXFP) to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of mXFP in treating CU. Hence, a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial design with strong scientific rigor will be employed in this study, and it would be able to provide robust clinical evidence on the efficacy and safety of mXFP for CU.
Allergic diseases, including allergic reactions of respiratory tract and skin, are often triggered by mast cell degranulation mediated by allergen-specific IgE and chronic inflammation of target organs, which are involved in a variety of immune cells and inflammatory factors. Recent studies have shown that intestinal immunity is closely related to immune responses to various diseases. Intestinal microecology influences the occurrence and regression of various diseases by regulating the growth, differentiation and maturation of various immune cells. Probiotics are widely used in children with allergies. This study aims to analyze the correlation between the intestinal microecology of children with rhinitis/asthma, eczema and urticaria and the clinical manifestations of the patients. By observing the influence of probiotics intervention on clinical symptoms and changes in intestinal microecology, the influence of intestinal microecology on children's allergic diseases was clarified. Study protocol: 1) children with definitive diagnosis of allergic rhinitis, asthma，atopic dermatitis and chronic urticaria were enrolled, each with 50 cases. 2) collect manure application of 16s rDNA probe hybridization technique to analyze the fecal flora, and compared with clinical symptoms rating scale and serum sIgE, IgG4 correlation analysis (3) application of probiotic intervention or conventional drug intervention, again in 3 months, 6 months after collecting dung is used to detect the intestinal flora in children with its correlation with clinical symptoms change were observed.
This study plans to learn more about why some people with Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria (CIU) respond to treatment with omalizumab (Xolair). It will test people before they receive treatment with omalizumab as part of standard of care, to see if there are differences in their blood and skin that can predict who responds to treatment.
Chronic urticaria affects up to 1% of the population. Chronic urticaria refractory to updosing antihistamines can benefit from OMALIZUMAB, which is an anti-IgE IgG1 monoclonal antibody administrated every 4 weeks subcutaneously which represents a cost of nearly 800€/month excluding nurse fees. Efficacy and good tolerance have already been demonstrated in real-life large cohorts of patients. A 6 months treatment duration is proposed before evaluating the efficacy and discontinuating the treatment in the absence of adequate response. Mean duration of chronic urticaria is 3 to 5 years with high standard deviations. Therefore, optimal duration of treatment with OMALIZUMAB is unknown and discontinuation modalities differ between physicians. The aim of this study is to evaluate the mean duration between initiation and first discontinuation of OMALIZUMAB in patients treated for chronic urticaria and explore the different factors influencing this duration and its outcome.
This is an observational study whose main objective is to estimate the frequency of patients benefiting from an intensification of AOM treatment at 3 months.
Spontaneous chronic urticaria (UCS) is a disease that affects 1% of the general population with a potentially severe impact on quality of life. Most patients respond favorably to long-term antihistamine treatment, but sometimes it is necessary to give a high dose (4 times the formal dose, Berlin consensus 2016). These high doses are often accompanied by side effects requiring cessation of treatment. The therapeutic alternative is then omalizumab, an expensive biotherapy. UCS is secondary to non-specific mast cell activation. It has been shown to be associated with activation of fibrinolysis that correlates with the severity of symptoms. Patients with UCS resistant to levocetirizine were shown to have higher D-dimer levels than patients who responded to antihistamines. Tranexamic acid is a molecule with antifibrinolytic propertiesSeveral cases of severe chronic urticaria responding favorably to treatment with tranexamic acid have been reported. In our department, Investigators also noticed the improvement of some of their patients on tranexamic acid. The combination of these two treatments appears to be synergistic: action on histamine receptors and control of fibrinolysis. The investigators propose to evaluate the association of tranexamic acid and levocetirizine for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria.
TARGET-DERM is a longitudinal, observational study of adult and pediatric patients being managed for Atopic Dermatitis and other Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Skin Conditions (IMISC) in usual clinical practice. TARGET-DERM will create a research registry of patients with IMISC within academic and community real-world practices in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of current and future therapies.
