Influence of Probiotics on Prevention of Atopy, Atopic Disease and Immunological Responses
EczemaAsthma1 moreThis will be a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled study. 253 children were recruited and randomly assigned into one of 2 groups to receive either normal infant formula or formula with Bifidobacterium longum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. The primary aim is to assess the effect of early administration (from birth) of probiotics on the incidence of allergic sensitization, eczema, asthma and rhinitis.
Exploration Of Key Targets And Biomarkers Involved In An Allergic Response In Subjects With Allergic...
Allergic RhinitisThis study is aimed at validating key therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with allergic rhinitis. The therapeutic target expression will be investigated after a 7 day course of corticosteroid treatment followed by allergen challenge.

Allergic RhinitisThis study will assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of VAK694 as well as change in symptoms and biomarkers in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis
Preventing Tolerance to Oxymetazoline in Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic RhinitisTachyphylaxis1 moreThe investigators wish to evaluate the effects of decongestants like oxymetazoline and the lessening of this effect with time called 'tolerance'. The investigators will demonstrate a reversal of this tolerance with nasal steroids i.e. the investigators will show that nasal steroids protect against tolerance. This will tell us more on how the investigators can make this treatment effective and safe for patients suffering with allergic rhinitis.
House Dust Mite Allergen Reduction in Bedding: Purotex Impregnated Covers of Bekaert Textiles
Allergic RhinitisProduct information: Purotex is a textile treatment that uses five 100% natural bacteria or probiotics, selected for their ability to clean up house dust mite allergen along with other allergen types. Study design: Placebo-controlled: the effect of the Purotex impregnated mattress and pillow covers will be compared to untreated, classical bedding covers (placebo). Cross-over design: There will be 2 'treatment' arms. One arm (Arm 1) in which the subjects will first use the Purotex impregnated covers (Set A=Purotex) during 2 months (=period A) and, after a wash out period of 1 month, the untreated covers (set B=placebo) during 2 months (=period B). In the second arm (Arm 2), the subjects will first use the untreated set (set A=placebo) and, after a wash out period the Purotex impregnated covers (set B=Purotex). Randomized: The subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the 2 treatment arms. Double blind: both the subjects and the investigators will not know to which treatment arm the subjects are assigned. Study hypothesis: We want to investigate: if there is a reduced concentration of HDM allergen in Purotex covers compared to untreated covers in real life if patients with allergic rhinitis to house dust mite use the Purotex covers, they experience an improvement of their quality of life and sleep, and an improvement of their allergic symptoms and global discomfort
The Effects of OC000459 on Nasal Mediators
Allergic RhinitisThis is the first proof of concept study for OC000459 and is undertaken to assess the effects of the compound on the development of inflammatory cytokines in a model (nasal allergen challenge model) that is validated and clinically safe and easy to conduct. OC000459 will be compared with placebo in the study. The study will be a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, crossover evaluation of the effect of OC000459 on cytokine secretion induced by nasal allergen challenge. Male subjects with a known history of allergic rhinitis and screening positive to allergen will be included. After dosing with OC000459 or placebo, nasal allergen challenge will be performed and measurements made in the nasal fluids. Nasal symptom scores will also be recorded. Safety parameters will be monitored throughout.
