Active clinical trials for "Rhinitis, Allergic"

Various chemical modifications of allergens have been attempted to enhance efficacy, improve safety, and foster compliance with IT. These approaches have been unsuccessful - in that the allergenicity and immunogenicity have either decreased, or increased in tandem, with no resultant efficacy: safety benefit ratio. This study utilizes an adjuvant approach in which synthetic immunostimulatory DNA is conjugated to ragweed allergen in an attempt to modulate both the clinical and immunologic allergic response to ragweed exposure in ragweed-allergic patients with seasonal rhinitis.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of grass pollen immunotherapy on symptoms, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and quality of life in seasonal rhinitis and asthma. Hay fever symptoms and medication use, health-related quality of life, and measurements of non-specific bronchial responsiveness were recorded during the study period.

The primary objective is to assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as an adjunct to Timothy Grass Subcutaneous Immunotherapy (SCIT) improves upon the efficacy of Timothy Grass SCIT to reduce provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by Total Nasal Symptom Score (TNSS) after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract at week 17. The secondary objectives of the study are: To assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as compared to placebo reduces provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by TNSS after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract To assess whether 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as compared to dupilumab + SCIT reduces provoked allergic rhinitis symptoms, as measured by TNSS after nasal allergen challenge (NAC) with Timothy Grass extract To assess changes in serum Timothy-grass-specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4), serum Timothy grass-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE), and ratio of serum Timothy Grass-specific IgG4 to IgE over 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab + SCIT as compared to SCIT monotherapy To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 16 weeks of treatment with dupilumab as an adjunct to Timothy Grass SCIT

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mometasone furoate (SCH 32088) aqueous nasal spray 200 mcg once daily compared to placebo once daily in the treatment of participants with seasonal allergic rhinitis. Flonase (fluticasone propionate) nasal spray 200 mcg once daily has been chosen as the active control for this study.

Allergic rhinitis is one of the chronic illnesses. At present, the major treatments for allergic rhinitis are avoiding allergens, medical treatment and surgery. However, inadequate effects, and possible side effects of these treatments are still problems to these patients. Therefore, to find an effective non-medical and non-surgical treatment will be of great help in treating patients with allergic rhinitis. Infrared-C (far-infrared) ray irradiation is able to promote normal operation of autonomic nervous system, to improve blood circulation and thereby assumed to relieve discomfort symptoms of patients with vascular, specific or non-specific allergic rhinitis. Consequently, infrared-C ray irradiation is expected to be effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. The investigators aimed to probe the adjunct effects of infrared-C ray irradiation in terms of infrared-C hot compress in improving allergy symptoms like sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal obstruction, nose and conjunctiva itching during a medical treatment for patients with allergic rhinitis. Moreover, the impact of infrared-C irradiation on health and life quality enhancement will also be studied.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of yoga training on rhinitis symptoms and cytokines in allergic rhinitis patients. Twenty-seven allergic rhinitis patients, aged 18-45 year old, were randomized into 2 groups: control group (CON; n=14) and yoga group (YOG; n=13). The control group had normal life and the yoga group was required to complete protocol with yoga training for a period of 8 weeks, 60 minutes, 3 times a week. Physiological variables, lung function variables, allergic rhinitis symptoms variables, and cytokines level in nasal secretion variables were analyzed during pre-test and post-test. The dependent variables between pre-test and post-test were analyzed by a paired t-test. The dependent variables between groups were analyzed by independent t-test. One way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the variables among pre-test, after 4 weeks, and after 8 weeks. Differences were considered to be significant at p < 0.05.

The objectives of this study are to determine the safety and efficacy in seasonal allergic rhinitis of a four-week course of mometasone furoate compared to beclomethasone dipropionate or placebo.

Background: Zingiber cassumunar Roxb., frequently known as Phlai in Thai, has been safely used as an antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory drug in Thai traditional medicine. Individual with allergic rhinitis may have positive response to Phlai. Objective: Investigators assessed the efficacy and safety of Phlai as a treatment for allergic rhinitis Design: The study was a 1-month, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group, intent-to-treat, multicenter, controlled trial in 267 patients at 7 hospitals in Thailand. Skin prick test-positive adults with allergic rhinitis ages 18 to 50 who were randomized into 3 groups (Phlai 8mg/d, Phlai 4mg/d, placebo). Main outcome measures: Primary outcome was defined: improvement of total 5 symptoms scores (nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, sneezing, itchy nose, itchy eyes) over a 4-week interval among Phlai 8mg/d, Phlai 4mg/d and placebo. Secondary endpoints were: assessments of rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire, peak inspiratory nasal flow, nasal examination, adverse events, AST, ALT, Creatinine and BUN over a period of 4 weeks.

To compare the effectiveness of Benjakul extract capsules at 300 mg per day with Loratadine drug in the treatment of allergic rhinitis patients in small group (Clinical Trial Phase II). To study the safety and side effects of Benjakul extract capsules 300 mg per day and Loratadine drug for allergic rhinitis patients.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) in its seasonal and perennial form is a common allergic condition. The majority of allergic rhinitis sufferers report nasal (congestion, sneezing, itching and rhinorrhea) and ocular (redness, watery eyes, itching and burning) symptoms. Coldamaris akut nasal spray is a Carragelose® containing hyperosmolar solution that is indicated for supportive treatment in case of blocked nose due to rhinitis of any kind. Carragelose® is a sulfated polymer from red seaweed also widely used in the food industry and has GRAS status (FDA). The increased osmolality is based on the addition of sorbitol. This clinical study has the aim to show that Coldamaris akut has a mild decongestant effect. This will be a prospective, controlled, double-blinded randomized two-way cross-over single site study in adult subjects (18 to 65 years) who demonstrate a grass pollen specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) reactivity and have a history of grass pollen induced allergic rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis with or without controlled asthma. In the cross-over setting two treatments, namely Coldamaris Akut and Coldamaris sine will be evaluated. The objective of the trial is to demonstrate a decongestant effect on the nasal mucosa of patients treated with Coldamaris akut nasal spray compared to subjects treated with Coldamaris sine nasal spray in grass pollen induced rhinitis/rhinoconjunctivitis. The evaluation will be based on the assessment of nasal congestion symptom during grass pollen challenge performed in the Vienna Challenge Chamber (environmental exposure chamber). Secondary objective of the trial is to demonstrate the clinical performance of Coldamaris akut nasal spray on nasal symptoms compared to subjects treated with saline nasal spray.
