Active clinical trials for "Hypersensitivity"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether DCVAC/OvCa added to chemotherapy (carboplatin and gemcitabine as second line chemotherapy) may result in prolongation of progression free survival (PFS).

Peanut allergy is increasingly common, especially in countries such as UK and Australia. There is currently no accepted routine clinical therapy to cure peanut allergy. Recently studies have looked at desensitising people with peanut allergy by giving them small daily doses of roasted peanut. Although this therapy works for some people, its effects are not generally long lasting and it is associated with many side effects during protocol, resulting in a significant rate of drop-outs. Pilot data suggests that boiled peanut is less immunogenic than roasted peanut, and may therefore provide a safer way of inducing desensitisation in patients who are allergic to roasted peanut, by first inducing tolerance to boiled peanut. Study hypothesis: Increasing doses of boiled peanut can induce desensitisation to roasted peanut, in peanut-allergic individuals.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of Gynostemma Pentaphyllum tea on insulin sensitivity in drug-naïve type 2 diabetic patients.

This study will be a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study and will include subjects with ragweed-induced seasonal allergic rhinitis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational nasal aerosol at two doses compared with placebo nasal aerosol in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis in children (6-11 years of age).

This study will investigate the effectiveness of nanohydroxyapatite (nano-HAP)-containing toothpastes and cream to relieve dentin hypersensitivity, comparing it with those of a commercial desensitizing dentifrice containing calcium sodium phosphosilicate (Novamin® technology) and a standard fluoride dentifrice containing 1,500 ppm fluoride as sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP).

To assess the analgetic effect of nitrousoxide-oxygen inhalation on pain perception in 12-15 years old children from 1) the dental pulp; 2) the masseter muscle; 3) the skin on the upper lip

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical utility of the ArteFill® pre-treatment Skin Test in predicting and preventing hypersensitivity reactions to treatment with ArteFill® implant

The purpose of this study is to determine if children who are allergic to milk can increase tolerance through frequent dose-escalation every 6 months versus 12 months leading to eventual tolerance of less heated milk and ultimately unheated milk.

It is estimated that 36 million Americans suffer from seasonal allergies and that ragweed is the primary cause of autumn allergies, 87% of patients with ragweed allergy suffer rhinoconjunctivitis. ToleroMune Ragweed is a novel, synthetic, allergen-derived peptide desensitising vaccine, currently being developed for the treatment of ragweed allergy. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of ToleroMune Ragweed in subjects in subjects with a documented history of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis on exposure to ragweed pollen. The efficacy of ToleroMune Ragweed will also be explored in these subjects using the Late Phase Skin Response, Early Phase Skin Response and Conjunctival Provocation Test.
