Active clinical trials for "Urticaria"

Evaluation whether canakinumab leads to improvement of urticaria

A randomized open labeled trial to compare the efficacy of antihistamine dosing-up and add-on treatment with H2-receptor antagonist in patients with chronic urticaria

To compare the relative bioavailability and pharmacokinetic characteristics of a newly developed bepotastine formulation, bepotastine salicylate, with a conventional formulation, bepotastine besilate, in healthy subjects with a single dose, randomized, open-label, 2-sequence -2period crossover study.

This is an observational study based on a population-based EHR database.

Activation of mast cells in the immune system is known to cause allergic reactions sometimes with severe systemic symptoms. The investigators have recently developed a blood-based mast cell activation diagnostic test in which levels of functional activation in-vitro in primary cultured mast cells generated from the peripheral blood of single individuals can be assessed. It is the hypothesis that the test can be used to predict the potential state of in-vivo mast cell activation in any individual based on the functional activation profiles exhibited by their cultured mast cells. The investigators now wish to translate their in-vitro findings in a pilot study to disease groups where mast cell activation is expected to be high. These include highly allergic individuals; those with chronic idiopathic urticaria; those with mastocytosis; and those with the mast cell activation syndrome. Furthermore, they will use the functional genomics approach to identify gene expression biomarkers that are correlated with such diseases. The results will be compared with data that have been collected from a cohort of healthy control blood donors.

The objective of this study is to perform an exploratory analysis to determine if a possible relationship between vitamin D and chronic urticaria and/or angioedema exists. The study hypothesis is that vitamin D deficiency is associated with chronic urticaria and/or angioedema.

The purpose of this study is to observe the side effects of desloratadine syrup and how effective it is in relieving symptoms of allergic rhinitis or hives in Filipino children. The participants will take desloratadine syrup for 14 days. At the end of treatment, side effects will be recorded, as well as how the participants tolerate the medication. Effectiveness will also be rated at the end of treatment.

Eligible patients will be prescribed Desloratadine 1 tablet of 5 mg once daily. Patients will be asked to follow-up for a final visit after 14 days (Day 15) where the safety, tolerability and clinical efficacy will be measured.

In the majority of patients with the chronic urticaria, the etiology is unclear, leading to difficulties in treatment and high rates of recurrence. According to the International EAACI/GA2LEN/EDF/WAO Guidelines (the Dermatology Section of the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology(EAACI), the Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN), the European Dermatology Forum (EDF) and the World Allergy Organization (WAO) in Urticaria, using the Chronic Urticaria Quality of Life Questionnaire in a routine management is the key for a better treatment outcome. To translate this questionnaire into Thai is essential in our subject of interest in order to effectively apply it to local patients. The Thai-version questionnaire will encourage enhanced as well as impactful therapeutic options for Thai chronic urticaria patients.

The objective of this non-interventional study is to evaluate the safety of Aerius syrup in pediatric patients aged 1-5 years old with allergic rhinitis or chronic idiopathic uticaria. The patients will receive 2.5 ml (1.25 mg) once daily.
