Filter by:This clinical study was designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of ligelizumab in children from 12 to < 18 years of age, with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). The participants were treated with ligelizumab as an add-on therapy to approved doses of H1 antihistamines (H1AH) following the guideline on treatment of CSU.
This is a Phase 2a, open-label study to assess the effects of AK002
Activation of mast cells in the immune system is known to cause allergic reactions sometimes with severe systemic symptoms. The investigators have recently developed a blood-based mast cell activation diagnostic test in which levels of functional activation in-vitro in primary cultured mast cells generated from the peripheral blood of single individuals can be assessed. It is the hypothesis that the test can be used to predict the potential state of in-vivo mast cell activation in any individual based on the functional activation profiles exhibited by their cultured mast cells. The investigators now wish to translate their in-vitro findings in a pilot study to disease groups where mast cell activation is expected to be high. These include highly allergic individuals; those with chronic idiopathic urticaria; those with mastocytosis; and those with the mast cell activation syndrome. Furthermore, they will use the functional genomics approach to identify gene expression biomarkers that are correlated with such diseases. The results will be compared with data that have been collected from a cohort of healthy control blood donors.
The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of omalizumab, compared with placebo, as an add-on to H1 antihistamines (H1AH) therapy in adult patients suffering from Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) who remained symptomatic despite H1AH therapy.
This study is based on a survey about the patient centered care situation and health-related quality of life of patients with diagnoses Psoriasis, Urtikaria or Lupus erythematodes. Detection of relevant parameters of quality of life by these patients serves for the detection of psychosocial burden of the mentioned skin diseases, thus gaining an increasing importance for prospective economic issues. This survey is a behaviorally based questionnaire for patients with the above diseases and addresses activities such as sleep and rest, mobility, recreation, home management, emotional behavior, social interaction, and the like.
A randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial of adding a short burst of corticosteroid to the conventional treatment of H1 antihistamines
A randomized open labeled trial to compare the efficacy of antihistamine dosing-up and add-on treatment with H2-receptor antagonist in patients with chronic urticaria
Fifty six patients of CRU attending the urticaria clinic in the department of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh will be recruited in the study calculated by using equivalence analysis assuming power of 90%, significance level of 5% and standard deviation of 1 and adjusting 5% of expected drop-outs after taking written informed consent. This study is undertaken with an intention to treat the patients of chronic refractory urticaria completely. Patients will be randomized into two groups A and B using computer generated random number tables, group A will receive Cyclosporine and group B will receive Azathioprine; wherein, 28 random single and double-digit numbers from 1-56 will be selected before recruitment, and patients coming on these numbers will be randomized in a particular group. Random number generation, recruitment and randomization, were all done by the same investigator..
Study to determine the efficacy of benralizumab when compared to placebo in patients with chronic hives that do not respond to antihistamine treatment
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of GDC-0853 compared with placebo in participants with Refractory Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) already treated with anti-histamines. Participants have the option to enter the Open-Label Extension (OLE) study after completing the 8-week treatment period.
