Active clinical trials for "Conjunctivitis"

Specific immunotherapy for IgE mediated sensitization to grass pollen 4 concentrations of a modified pollen extract of Phleum pratense are applied to find out the optimum dose.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an anti-allergy drug with a contact lens compared to placebo in preventing ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis

The purpose of the research is to determine which inflammatory substances are involved in causing allergic symptoms in the eye. Allergic conjunctivitis is a common problem with symptoms of temporary redness, itching, tearing, and swelling of the eyes. Substances released by cells in the affected tissues cause allergic reactions in the eye and elsewhere in the body.

Topical Treatment of Bacterial Conjunctivitis and its Effect on Microbial Flora

Follow-up of pediatric patients is important for their regular ocular morbidity monitoring, especially for amblyopia management. An observatory data of 1st week (1st to 7th) of January 2019 revealed that the follow-up compliance was very low (22%) among children aged 0-16 years in the pediatric department of Bharatpur Eye Hospital. A problem tree analysis showed a lack of awareness in children and their parents regarding the importance of follow-up and patients forgetting regarding the follow-up visit, usually when there is the long duration of follow up are the major contributing factors for poor adherence to follow-up. So, an intervention study was aimed at finding the effectiveness of counseling and reminders through SMS and phone calls to improve the follow-ups. All pediatric patients 0-16 years of age with ocular conditions requiring at least 3 follow-ups in the study period (January 2021 to April 2021) will be included. Two hundred and sixty-four participants will be equally distributed to three groups: routine standard care, counseling, and reminders with SMS and phone calls. In the routine care group, children will undergo routine care as per existing practice in the hospital and there will be no additional intervention. In counseling group, in addition to routine care parents/guardians along with the child will receive counseling from a trained counselor as per the set counseling protocol in every follow-up visits and will also be provided with the disease-specific information leaflets as additional information material before the child is discharged from the department. In the SMS and phone call reminder group, in addition to routine care, parents/guardians of children will receive reminders through short messaging text (SMS) 3 days and phone calls one day prior to the scheduled visit. Compliance to follow up Participants completing all the three follow-up visits as per the schedule within the window period of +/-2 days will be considered as a complaint to follow up. However, the follow-ups of all the participants will be recorded although that is beyond the window period. The primary outcome will be measured by the proportion of children completing all three scheduled follow-ups. The ethical approval has been obtained from the Institutional Review Committee of NHRC (ERB protocol registration number 761/2020 P). Informed consent will be taken from parent and child. Conclusion: If interventions improve the follow-up rate and are cost-effective, this can be applied in all the departments of the hospital.

The main purpose of the trial is to prove the therapeutic value of the product and enable an effective and safe dosage schedule to be recommended

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of a novel contact lens in healthy normal volunteers

This is a single center open study designed to determine the concentration of airborne birch pollen inducing an allergic conjunctivitis response in individuals allergic to birch pollen, during allergen exposures in the Alyatec environmental exposure chamber (EEC).

The objective is to prospectively explore associations between immunological parameters in blood and clinical effect of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in children with severe allergy towards pollen. Half of the children will receive SCIT while the other half will start SCIT after the study is finished. Clinical evaluations of symptoms and an immunological survey will be performed before start of SCIT and after one year of treatment. Some of the immunological parameters will also be checked after 6 months of treatment

This is a Phase 1b, open-label, study to assess the effects of AK002, given as monthly intravenous infusion for 6 doses at up to 3 mg/kg.
