Botulinum Toxin Type A Block of the Sphenopalatine Ganglion in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal...
Chronic DiseaseNasal Polyposis1 moreChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) with nasal polyps is a particularly challenging form of chronic rhinosinusitis in several ways. Patients have significantly more severe symptom burden and worse quality of life than patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps. Many patients return to the health care providers with persistent symptoms after repeated medical and surgical treatment. Patients have usually tried several different types of treatments, ranging from less invasive procedures to extensive surgical treatment. The surgical treatment is often repeated several times. The most common surgical treatment is functional endoscopic sinus surgery, another established procedure is Vidian neurectomy. The main object of this pilot study is to investigate the safety of onabotulinumtoxin A towards the sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) in CRS patients with nasal polyps. Efficacy data will also be collected to provide indication on whether future placebo-controlled studies should be performed. Onabotulinumtoxin A inhibits the secretion of acetylcholine, blocking the parasympathetic reflex cascade in the SPG. As a result, the investigators expect less mucosal swelling, secretion and nasal polyps. The duration of such a blockade is believed to last for 3-9 months and will not lead to damage of the nerve. This study opens up for improved treatment with less complications.

RhinitisAllergic1 moreThe purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of MK-3641 (short ragweed [Ambrosia artemisiifolia] extract, SCH 039641, RAGWITEK®) sublingual tablets and MK-7243 (Timothy grass [Phleum pratense] extract, SCH 697243, GRASTEK®) sublingual tablets co-administered in participants 18 through 65 years of age with both ragweed- and grass polled-induced allergic rhinitis, with or without conjunctivitis and with or without asthma. The primary endpoint is the percentage of participants who experience at least one event of local swelling after co-administration of MK-3641 and MK-7243 sublingual tablets.

Efficacy Study of Homeopathic Medicines in Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis and/or Induced Bronchial...
Rhinitis; AllergicWith AsthmaThe purpose of this study is to test whether individualized homeopathic medicines can produce any significant effect beyond placebo in treatment of allergic rhinitis and/or induced bronchial asthma
The Effect of Cetirizine on Bronchoconstriction
Allergic RhinitisAsthmaThe purpose of this study is to determine the effect of cetirizine, an oral antihistamine, on wheezing in patients with allergic rhinitis. Patients presenting to the pediatric emergency department who have a history of allergic rhinitis and who are wheezing will be asked to participate. Half of patients will receive a dose of cetirizine and the other half will receive placebo and their response will be monitored over the course of their emergency department visit with vital signs, physical examinations, and measurement of bronchoconstriction with spirometry.
Efficacy and Safety of Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) of Olopatadine Hydrochloride and Mometasone...
Seasonal Allergic RhinitisA single-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of FDC olopatadine hydrochloride and mometasone furoate nasal spray (Molo; also referred as GSP 301) was conducted in subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis. In this study, the efficacy and safety of two regimens (BID and QD) of the FDC (i.e. Molo 1 and Molo 2) were evaluated compared to placebo nasal spray, DYMISTA® and PATANASE®.
A Study of Tolerability and Safety of a New Cumulative Dose of Grass MATA MPL
Seasonal Allergic RhinitisThere is increasing evidence that the effectiveness of allergy immunotherapy to control symptoms of rhinoconjunctivitis is related to the cumulative dose of allergen or allergoid administered during a single regimen of subcutaneous (SC) injections or of sublingual administration. Previously, high cumulative doses of the Grass MATA MPL 10200 and 18200 SU (Standardized Units) were compared with the marketed dose of 5100 SU and were found to have acceptable tolerability and safety. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of an even higher cumulative dose regimen of 35600 SU. of Grass MATA MPL compared with placebo in patients with seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (SAR) due to grass pollen, to enable selection of the best dose to take forward for further development.
A Clinical Pharmacology Study of MT-2990 in Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis Patients
Seasonal Allergic RhinitisThe objective of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of MT-2990 in patients with Japanese cedar pollen-induced seasonal allergic rhinitis (JC-SAR). Additional objective of the study is to investigate the efficacy and pharmacodynamics profile of MT-2990 in an environmental exposure chamber (EEC) on Day 8, 29, 57, and 85.
