Active clinical trials for "Hypersensitivity"

Primary Objective: To determine if 36 months of peanut SLIT as an early intervention in subjects ages 1 to 4 years induces clinical desensitization. The primary outcome of this objective will be a statistically significant difference in challenge scores between the treatment group versus the placebo group during DBPCFC (Double blind placebo controlled food challenge) performed after 36 months of peanut SLIT (desensitization). Challenge scores are measured by the amount of peanut protein participants are able to ingest successfully without symptoms of an allergic reaction. [Time Frame: Baseline, 36 months] Secondary Objectives: A secondary outcome of this objective will be a statistically significant difference in the challenge score of the treatment group versus the placebo group during the DBPCFC performed 3 months after discontinuing therapy (tolerance). To examine the change in immune parameters associated with peanut SLIT and the development of clinical tolerance. Through this objective, the investigators will seek to understand the molecular processes by which SLIT affects the immune system through evaluation of immune mechanisms in relationship to clinical findings of desensitization and tolerance. The investigators will delineate the impact of peanut SLIT on the subsequent cellular and humoral responses to peanut protein. [Time Frame: Baseline, 39 months]

The Metabolic Syndrome is a high prevalence disease worldwide. About a quarter of the adult population suffers the disease. Resveratrol is a substance found in many plants, including grapes, nuts and wine, but it's also found in Polygonum cuspidatum. There is evidence that resveratrol consumption has beneficial effects on glucose and lipids metabolism, blood pressure and body weight. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of resveratrol on metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion. The investigators hypothesis was that the administration of resveratrol modifies the metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion.

The purpose of this study is to determine the mycobactericidal activity of combinations of bedaquiline (J), moxifloxacin (M), PA-824 (Pa) and pyrazinamide (Z) regimens during 8 weeks of treatment.

This is an open-label Phase 1b dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability, and PK of OMP-54F28 when combined with paclitaxel and carboplatin. OMP-54F28 will be administered IV on Days 1 of each 21-day cycle. Paclitaxel (175 mg/m2) and carboplatin (AUC = 5 mg/mL • min) will be administered IV on Day 1 of each cycle. A total of 6 cycles of paclitaxel and carboplatin will be given. Additional cycles may be given as per institutional standard of care after discussion with the Medical Monitor. Treatment with OMP-54F28 will continue after completion of treatment with paclitaxel and carboplatin. The planned dose levels of OMP-54F28 are 5 and 10 mg/kg.

The purpose of this study is to determine if walnut oral immunotherapy can be used in participants allergic to tree nuts to reduce tree nut allergy and induce changes in the participant's immune system.

Nut sensitization in skin prick tests is common in areas, including Finland, where birch pollen is abundant. However, sensitization to nuts in skin prick test does not predict the possibility of allergic symptoms when nuts are ingested. In this study the investigators launch and perform double-blind placebo-controlled nut challenges and oral desensitization/ protocol to those with serious symptoms in the challenge. The efficacy and safety of the new oral desensitization program is the primary outcome. The effect of oral desensitization on bronchial hyperreactivity, eosinophilic airway inflammation, and quality of life are secondary outcomes.

The purpose of this exploratory study is to compare the treatment effect on dentinal hypersensitivity of a tubule occluding dentifrice as measured by Schiff and Tactile sensitivity. This proof of concept study will compare the test dentifrice with three other treatment groups.

A study to compare the efficacy of a test dentifrice against a control dentifrice in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity over an eight week treatment period.

This study aims at showing that Epicutaneous Immunotherapy with peanut proteins is safe and efficacious for desensitizing children with peanut allergy.

The primary aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of the ALK house dust mite tablet given once daily compared to a placebo tablet in the treatment of house dut mite allergic rhinits. Additionally the secondary objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and tolarability of the ALK house dust mite tablet. Immunotherapy has been shown to provide therapeutic benefits to subjects with house dust mite induced allergy. This trial is planned to investigate if clinically relevant improvements in rhinitis symptoms and with less use of symptomatic medication can be obtained in subjects with a history of poor didease control despite of use of symptomatic medications.
