Active clinical trials for "Rhinitis, Allergic"

Study to evaluate the two different strengths and dose regimen of GSP 301 to be effective in treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis.

The investigators aimed to evaluate by the Sniffin' Sticks test the effects on olfactory functions of nasal steroids and leukotriene antagonists used for allergic rhinitis.Thirty patients with seasonal were included in this study. Patients were randomly divided into three groups of 10 patients; group 1 received montelukast sodium and mometasone furoate therapy, group 2 received only montelukast, and group 3 only mometasone furoate. Patients' olfactory functions were determined using the Sniffin' Sticks olfactory test before and after a month treatments. Threshold, discrimination, identification, and TDI values were not significantly different among the groups before treatment. For Group 1 and Group 3 patients, there were statistically significant differences in threshold, discrimination, identification, and TDI values before and after treatment (p < 0.05) (Wilcoxon signed ranks analysis) For Group 2 patients, the before and after treatment values of threshold, discrimination, identification, and TDI showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). According to the findings of our study, MF is superior to montelukast in improving olfactory function. Although montelukast has been shown to be effective against AR symptoms, its effect on olfactory function was not demonstrated in this study.

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of Tian Jiu in the treatment of allergic rhinitis compared with placebo and waitlist patients in Hong Kong.

The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic characteristics of bepotastine after single oral administration of TALION tab, a IR formulation of bepotastine as reference drug and HL151, a SR formulation of bepotastine as test drug in healthy male adults. Additionally the safety and tolerability of two drugs will be evaluated.

This study will be a randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, 3-way, incomplete block crossover study to evaluate the effect of single and repeat doses of levocabastine, FF, placebo and a FDC of FF/levocabastine administration in AR subjects. The total expected study duration for each individual participating in the study will be a maximum of up to 20 weeks (including the screening and follow-up). This will be a three period study and subjects will be assigned to a sequence of three treatments. There will be a wash-out period of 14-28 days between two treatment periods. The rational for this study is to demonstrate proof of concept with the FDC of FF and levocabastine compared with each of the components administered alone.

Allergic rhinitis is treated with a variety of systemic and locally applied drugs. The effectiveness of the intranasally applied formulations is diminished by the cleaning mechanisms of the nose, rhinorrhea in particular. Slowing down of the clearance of the nasal mucosa and prolonging the contact time of locally applied drugs with the nasal mucosa would improve their efficacy. One method is creating dosage forms containing mucoadhesive polymers. We have demonstrated that a mucoadhesive solution containing HPMC enhances the clinical efficacy of oxymetazoline. However, the industrial development of fixed combinations of pharmaceutical compound and mucoadhesive carrier requires substantial investments, escalating manifold if different pharmaceutical compounds have to be rendered mucoadhesive. NoAl is a cellulose derivative powder, which forms a gel layer on contact with the mucosal surface of the nose blocking the contact of the pollen grains with the nasal mucosa in seasonal allergic rhinitis. However, there is another potential benefit of applying NoAl (HPMC) along with other commercially available drugs for local treatment of rhinitis, as the formation of a gel layer can substantially delay their clearance from the nose and thus increase their effectiveness. This hypothesis needs to be substantiated clinically.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP) nasal aerosol in subjects with Perennial Allergic Rhinitis (PAR).

Primary Objective : To compare the acute bronchodilatory effects of cetirizine 10 mg tablet and nebulized levalbuterol using impulse oscillometry technique in asthmatic subjects aged 18 to 65 years old who have allergic rhinitis and show clinical evidence of bronchial hyper-reactivity. Secondary Objective: To assess the bronchodilatory effects of cetirizine 10 mg tablet versus placebo after two weeks of therapy using impulse oscillometry technique in subjects 18 to 65 years old who have allergic rhinitis and show clinical evidence of bronchial hyper-reactivity.

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety and effects on the immune system of treatment with GSK2245035 in subjects who suffer from nasal symptoms caused by an allergy to pollen or perennial allergen, with or without mild asthma. In addition, the effect of treatment with GSK2245035 on the body's allergic response in test situations will be explored. Approximately 28 subjects will receive GSK2245035 (up to 14 subjects each receiving 80 nanograms [ng] GSK2245035 and up to 14 subjects each receiving 20 ng GSK2245035) and 14 subjects will receive the dummy drug (placebo) during the study. Assignment of a subject to GSK2245035 or placebo will be done by chance, like flipping a coin. Neither the subjects nor the clinic staff will know whether a subject is being dosed with GSK2245035 or placebo during the course of the study. The study will include (a) Screening phase where the eligibility of subjects for enrolment will be assessed (b) Treatment phase during which subjects will receive either 8 nasal sprays of GSK2245035 80 ng or a matching placebo once weekly for 8 weeks (each dose will be split between the two nostrils). Subjects participating in this study in 2014 will receive a reduced dose of 20 ng i.n. of GSK2245035 once weekly for eight administrations (c) Follow-up period where any GSK2245035 induced changes to the immune system and the effect of treatment on the body's allergic response in test situations will be monitored. The maximum planned study duration for all subjects, including the screening, treatment and follow-up periods, is approximately 180 days.

To compare safety and efficacy of Perrigo's steroid drug product compared with an FDA approved steroid drug product in the treatment of subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis.
