Active clinical trials for "Rhinitis, Allergic, Seasonal"

This study will investigate the effectiveness of desloratadine in treating subjects with allergic rhinitis (AR) who meet the criteria for intermittent allergic rhinitis.

The current study will investigate nasal inflammatory markers obtained by filter paper collection techniques, in subjects with allergic rhinitis, determining the most appropriate time points and handling conditions, prior to running a larger study with subjects with allergic rhinitis.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of reducing exposure to allergens in patients with hay fever by means of a nasal filter.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether it is safe to administer Ragweed-SPIRE to subjects suffering from both ragweed allergy and asthma.

This study will evaluate the effects of RHINIX™ nasal filters on seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) in a park setting.

The objectives of this monocentric investigator initiated exploratory clinical trial is to optimize allergen delivery across the epidermal barrier. The cornified outer epidermal layers represent the main barrier towards entry into the viable epidermal layers. In the latter we aim to target the allergen for uptake by professional antigen presenting cells, called Langerhans cells. At the same time as little allergen as possible should be delivered to the dermis. The latter contains a high density of sensitized mast cells eliciting local reactions and also a high density of blood vessels which could lead to systemic distribution of allergen and therefore to systemic allergic reactions. In birch pollen allergic individuals we will compare different methods of preparing the skin before application of the allergen. We will subsequently apply titrated allergen doses to the prepared skin areas to determine at which dose we start observing mast cell degranulation manifesting as hives. This will allow for determination of the maximal tolerated allergen dose for each skin preparation method. The skin preparation methods compared will be: Single pricking with prick lancet (Entaco LTD., Redditch, Worcestershire, UK, distributed by Stallergenes®). Tape stripping with conventional adhesive Tape (Tesa-film®). Microchanneling with Micro Needle Patch (Micro Skin System, 3M®). The methods are strongly connected to routine diagnostics of allergies with low risk associated. The clinical trial protocol has been submitted to the local Ethics Committee. This comparison of skin preparation methods and the determination of the maximal tolerated allergen dose will help us to further improve epicutaneous allergen immunotherapy, which has the potential to make allergen specific immunotherapy not only considerably shorter and safer, but also more convenient for patients. Skin preparation by microneedle patches is significantly less painful than conventional injection and can be self administered. This should help improve the acceptance of allergen specific immunotherapy, as well as treatment compliance.

The primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the dose-response relationship for the ALK tree AIT administered once daily in order to define a dose-range that would be suitable for at-home administration.

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of BM32 in grass pollen allergic subjects. It will test the hypothesis that either of two doses of BM32 will lead to a sustained relief off allergy symptoms over a two year study period.

The aim of the study is to compare the safety, clinical tolerability, immunogenicity and efficacy of gpASIT+TM (grass pollen peptides) alone and combined with an immunoregulating adjuvant, in a short course administration (5 injections over 4 weeks).

The dose and the mode of administration of sublingual therapy remain open questions to determine the efficacy and safety of this desensitization therapy, the main purpose of this study is to evaluate if different routes of administration (oral-vestibular vs. sublingual) and a maximum dose of allergen administered are able to determine a different effect or a different incidence of side effects of the therapy in a group of patients with rhinoconjunctivitis and/or asthma due to ragweed
