Active clinical trials for "Hypersensitivity"

Ragweed MATAMPL has been developed to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with hypersensitivity to ragweed pollen (hay fever). This novel formulation is designed to provide a vaccine that will be efficacious with only four escalating dose injections administered before the start of the pollen season. In this study, the safety and efficacy of Ragweed MATAMPL will be assessed by exposing allergic subjects to Ragweed pollen in an environmental exposure chamber (EEC). Patient symptomatic response to pollen and patient quality of life in the EEC will be determined.

Tree MATA (modified pollen allergen tyrosine adsorbate) has been developed to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with hypersensitivity to tree (birch, alder, and hazel) pollen. Different doses of Tree MATA will be administered and immunological changes following this treatment will be assessed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the residual allergenicity of Grass MATA (modified pollen allergen tyrosine adsorbate) by skin prick testing. This is done by a comparison of the wheal response after skin prick testing with aqueous native and modified allergen, modified tyrosine adsorbed allergen and Grass MATA MPL (modified tyrosine adsorbed + MPL).

This study will investigate the relationship between resistance training load and repetitions on cardiometabolic outcomes. The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine whether high load or low load resistance exercise training affects arterial stiffness in overweight or obese men and women. Our secondary objectives are to investigate the effects of high and low load RT on vascular function, cardiac structure, and markers of insulin sensitivity. Finally, we are going to preliminarily explore the effects of resistance training on intestinal bacteria.

To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and immunogenicity of N-Rephasin® SAL200 following single and multiple ascending doses in healthy male volunteers after continuous intravenous infusion over 60 minutes.

This project will develop and refine a computer-delivered integrated Personalized Feedback Intervention (PFI) that directly addresses smoking and anxiety sensitivity (AS). The PFI will focus on feedback about smoking behavior, AS, and adaptive coping strategies.

A phase 2, multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study to evaluate the effect of tezepelumab on airway inflammation in adults with inadequately controlled asthma.

B7451029 is a Phase 3 study to investigate PF-04965842 in adult patients who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis and use background topical therapy. The efficacy of two dosage strengths of PF-04965842, 100 mg and 200 mg taken orally once daily will be evaluated relative to placebo over 12 weeks. The efficacy of the two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 will be compared with dupilumab in terms of pruritus relief at 2 weeks. The two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 and dupilumab 300 mg injected subcutaneously once every two weeks (with a loading dose of 600 mg injected on the first day) will also be evaluated relative to placebo over 16 weeks. The safety of the investigational products will be evaluated over the duration of the study. Subjects will use non-medicated emollient at least twice a day and medicated topical therapy such as corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors or PDE4 inhibitors, as per protocol guidance, to treat active lesions during the study. Subjects who are randomized to receive one of the two dosage strengths of PF-04965842 will also receive placebo injectable study drug every two weeks until Week 16 and then will continue on receiving only the oral study drug for 4 weeks. Subjects who are randomized to receive dupilumab injections every two weeks will also receive oral placebo to be taken once daily until Week 16 and will then continue to receive only the oral placebo for 4 weeks. Subjects who are randomized to the placebo arms, will receive both daily oral placebo and injectable placebo every two weeks until Week 16, after which they will receive either 100 mg or 200 mg of PF-04965842 taken orally once daily for 4 weeks, dependent upon which arm they have been allocated to. Eligible subjects will have an option to enter a long-term extension study after completing 20 weeks of treatment.

Atopic Dermatitis (AD), also known as eczema, is a common skin disease characterized by itchy lesions. The prevalence of AD has increased over the past few decades, with 15-30% of children and 2-10%of adults being affected. The lesions of AD patients are very inflamed, with an increased number of inflammatory cells in the skin. There are not many medications available that are fully effective and can be used long-term for treatment of atopic dermatitis. Benralizumab is a monoclonal antibody used for treatment of a type of asthma called "eosinophilic asthma". Atopic dermatitis is also associated with elevated levels of eosinophils, and we would like to determine if benralizumab is effective in patients with atopic dermatitis. This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the effect of 3 doses of a fixed 30 mg dose of benralizumab administered subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks to patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, on the severity of atopic dermatitis, and the cellular inflammation of skin lesions in these patients. Anti-inflammatory properties of benralizumab when a skin flare is induced in a controlled laboratory setting, in addition to the effects of benralizumab on skin that is already inflamed will be examined.It is hypothesized that benralizumab will attenuate eosinophilic inflammation in the skin.

B7451014 is a Phase 3 study to investigate PF-04965842 in patients aged 12 years and over with a minimum body weight of 40 kg who have moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. Subjects responding well to an initial open-label 12 week treatment of PF-04965842 (200 mg) taken orally once daily (QD) will be identified and randomized in a double-blind manner to receive 200 mg QD PF-04965842, 100 mg QD PF-04965842, or QD placebo. Efficacy and safety of 2 doses of PF-04965842 will be evaluated relative to placebo over 40 weeks. Subjects experiencing significant worsening of their symptoms, i.e., protocol-defined flare, enter 12 weeks rescue treatment and receive 200 mg PF-04965842 together with a marketed topical medicine. Eligible patients will have the option to enter a long-term extension study after completing the initial 12 week treatment, the 12 week rescue treatment, and the 40 week blinded treatment.
