Active clinical trials for "Hypersensitivity"

The purpose of this study was to determine the maximum tolerated dose of AL-53817 (Stage A) and evaluate the safety and efficacy of AL-53817 for the treatment of allergic rhinitis (Stage B).

The proposed clinical trial will study the effects of 12 months of therapy with ARN-509 alone, or in combination with an LHRH agonist (LHRHa), each compared with LHRHa alone, in men with a rapidly rising serum PSA after prior definitive local therapy for prostate cancer. The endpoints selected reflect measurable short term effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including quality of life and several metabolic parameters. In addition, the relative effect of each treatment strategy on PSA suppression as well as testosterone recovery (and subsequent PSA progression) after 12 months of therapy will be evaluated.

Evaluation of the best therapeutic index for patients with platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer when treatment with bevacizumab and gemcitabine/carboplatin or with bevacizumab and PLD/carboplatin.

Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) is an irritating eye condition that affects many people, caused by hypersensitivity to normally harmless substances such as pollen, and often accompanies seasonal hay fever. Treatments that can be used before initiating medical therapy include artificial tear supplements (ATS) and cold compresses (CC). However, there is no evidence in the scientific literature that demonstrates their efficacy compared to no treatment or their combined effect with anti-allergic medication. Therefore the investigators aim to examine the efficacy of ATS and CC alone, in comparison to anti-allergic medication, and CC in combination with anti-allergic medication. In addition, the investigators also aim to determine the time course of ocular allergic reactions. At the end of the study the investigators will be able to see whether or not ATS and CC are effective in treating SAC.

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).

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.

The overall objective of the clinical study is to assess the tolerability and clinical efficacy of anastrozole in post-menopausal women with hormone sensitive advanced breast cancer in India.

To assess whether reversal of fatty liver by moderate weight loss (8% of body weight) will lead to improvements in insulin sensitivity, which will be associated with changes in both glucose status and lipid profiles, in obese children and adolescents with fatty liver who have normal glucose or pre-diabetes.
