Active clinical trials for "Hypersensitivity"

The purpose of this clinical phase 3 randomized trial is to compare two different dosing schedules of Docetaxel in combination with ADT and Darolutamide in subjects with mHSPC. The main question aims to compare grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs) in patients with mHSPC treated with 6 cycles of either Docetaxel 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks in a 3 week cycle or 6 cycles of Docetaxel 50 mg/m2 every 2 weeks in a 4 week cycle in combination with Darolutamide + ADT. The primary endpoint are Grade 3-5 AEs, followed by neutropenia grade 3/4 + grade 5 AEs to be analysed 28 weeks after last patient first Docetaxel dose (LPFD).

Peanut and nut allergy can be life threatening. Some patients have very low threshold levels (i.e. the amounts of peanut and nuts to which the patients react), others react to higher doses. The reasons for these differences in threshold are not well understood. Patients with peanut and nut allergy often suffer from other allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis, hay fever and asthma). A disturbed gut microbiota composition and an increased gut permeability may explain the development of allergic disease. We hypothesize that increased gut permeability is related to low threshold levels to peanuts or nuts. In addition, as it is known that nutrition can influence our gut permeability, we also hypothesize that a healthful immune-supportive diet restores gut permeability and alleviates symptoms. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to study in peanut and nut allergic children: the relationship between gut permeability and threshold levels to peanut or nuts; the effect of an immune-supportive diet on gut permeability, gut microbiome composition, coexisting allergic symptoms and quality of life

This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of vudalimab (XmAb20717) in combination with standard of care treatment abiraterone, enzalutamide, or abiraterone plus docetaxel in treating patients with castration sensitive prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as vudalimab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Adding vudalimab to standard of care treatments may be effective in treating metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer.

The aim of the study is to determine the efficacy of a 12-month egg oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocol with a cooked whole egg product including yolk and egg white. Study hypothesis: With this method the risk for severe allergic reaction to egg protein is reduced and the diet can partly or completely be normalized.

Surgeons are increasingly confronted by patients on long-term low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA). However, the perioperative management of these patients undergo non-cardiac surgery has not yet been clear. This single- arm study was to evaluate the safety of continuous use of ASA in the perioperative period in routine minimally thoracic surgery.

This study will examine the pain-relieving effects of a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator device called a Quell for persons with multiple chronic overlapping pain conditions.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility and acceptability and compare outcomes of a trauma-informed prenatal intervention (TPI) in pregnant Black women with childhood adversity. TPI participants will receive four weekly individual virtual sessions of motivational interviewing to promote self-efficacy and mental wellness skills to enhance self-awareness and self-regulation. TPI is designed to foster behavior change and health coping by enhancing knowledge, beliefs, regulation skills and abilities. With the assistance of a trained facilitator, participants will be guided to identify a specific goal related to the behavior they want to change. Behavior change goals will be individualized to create a change plan that reinforces resilience-based coping, accountability, and self-care rewards. Participants will learn to apply mental wellness skills to enhance regulation and to facilitate awareness of internal cues related to desire, motivation, and individual responses to stress. Researchers will compare usual prenatal care plus TPI versus usual prenatal care plus prenatal education to see if TPI reduces psychological (e.g., depression, anxiety, and perceived stress), and improves socio-emotional (e.g., behavioral activation, negative mood regulation, and mindfulness), and prenatal health behaviors.

Studies in the literature suggest that people with obesity have an excess of stored iron. There is possibly an inverse relationship between ferritin levels and the actions of insulin on glycemic control. The reduction of stored iron by simply donating blood could result in improvements in glycemic control in people with obesity and prediabetes. We propose, to reduce ferritin levels through a standard donation of a unit of whole blood, and to measure if it positively affects glycemic control.

Primary Objective: To explore whether a 6-month course of Rezvilutamide in the triple therapy regimen is non-inferior to long-term Rezvilutamide treatment in improving radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) in patients with high tumor burden metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Secondary Objectives: To evaluate and compare the time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression, time to next bone-related event, time to initiation of subsequent anti-prostate cancer treatment, and objective response rate (ORR) between the 6-month and long-term course of Rezvilutamide with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus docetaxel in patients with high tumor burden mHSPC. To assess and compare the incidence of adverse events between the 6-month and long-term course of Rezvilutamide with ADT plus docetaxel in patients with high tumor burden mHSPC. Exploratory Objectives: To observe the circulating tumor cell status at 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months in patients with high tumor burden mHSPC receiving the triple therapy regimen.

Background: Dentine hypersensitivity is a common oral complaint from older adults. It induces pain, affects oral hygiene practice, limits food choices and negatively affects the quality of life. Silver diamine fluoride (SDF) is a desensitizing agent but well-designed clinical trials are lacking. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of SDF in reducing dentine hypersensitivity in older Chinese adults. Methods: This is a double-blinded randomised clinical trial recruiting 166 healthy older adults aged 65 or over after having written consent. A trained calibrated examiner will conduct clinical examination and assess dentine hypersensitive using a blast of compressed air delivered from 3-in-1 syringe. Older adults with a tooth with a self-perceived sensitivity score (SS) of 8 or above will be recruited. They will then be block randomised to receive either 38% SDF solution or 5% potassium nitrate every 4 weeks on the exposed root surface of the most hypersensitive tooth. The visible plaque index, bleeding on probing and probing depth (mm) will be recorded on the most hypersensitive tooth. The same examiner will perform clinical examination and assess the dentine hypersensitivity using the same tools and methods at 4-week and 8-week follow-ups. The examiner and older adults will be blinded to treatment allocation. The primary outcome is the percentage of change in SS before and after intervention at 8 weeks. The secondary outcome will be the percentage of change in VPI before and after intervention at 8 weeks. Clinical significance: It will provide evidence to manage dentine hypersensitivity in older adults in clinical care.
