Benmelstobart-Anlotinib-Chemo for Neoadjuvant Oral Cancer
Exploring the Safety and Efficacy of Benmelstobart Combined with Anlotinib and Chemotherapy as Neoadjuvant Therapy Followed by Surgery and Postoperative Radiotherapy in Patients with Locally Advanced Oral Cancer This is a single-center, Phase II study targeting patients with stage III-IVb locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The neoadjuvant therapy consists of Benmelstobart combined with Anlotinib and chemotherapy for 3 cycles (21 days per cycle). Surgery is performed within 2 weeks after completing neoadjuvant therapy. Postoperative adjuvant treatment is selected based on pathological grading: Group A (Pathological...

Biologics and Sublingual Immunotherapy
Most current studies involve using a biological drug to increase the safety of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) especially in the treatment of food allergies, to avoid the risk of anaphylaxis. However, adding Xolair® to AIT may improve the therapy's effectiveness. There are still few observations on this topic, especially in patients with house dust mite (HDM)-driven asthma.

Early Supplementation for Cow's Milk Allergy Prevention
Cow's milk allergy (CMA) is a common food allergy in infants and young children that can have a significant impact on the individual and their family due to dietary restrictions, risk of nutritional deficiencies, social limitations, and decreased quality of life. It also represents a financial burden for families and healthcare resources. There is an ongoing debate about the significance of early exposure to cow's milk proteins within hours or days after birth and its relationship to the risk of developing CMA later in life. Current recommendations for early introduction of cow's milk proteins in infants who cannot be breastfed vary and are inconsistent due to a lack of...

EDN and Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a recent and emerging chronic disease, secondary to eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa leading to esophageal dysfunction. The diagnosis of this pathology, and monitoring of the efficacy of therapies, relies on the assessment of eosinophilic density on esophageal biopsies: follow-up requires numerous digestive endoscopies under general anesthesia, at each therapeutic change, to assess remission. The search for non-invasive biomarkers of active eosinophilic esophagitis is therefore a subject of major interest. The first step is to study EDN (Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin), a protein secreted when eosinophils are activated. Several...

Effect of a Hydrolyzed Rice Protein-based Formula on Growth, Tolerance, and Health-related Quality of Life in Infants With Cow's Milk Protein Allergy.
The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the growth of infants fed with the Test Formula is non-inferior those fed with the Control Formula. The study will also evaluate the gastrointestinal tolerance, quatliy of life and acceptability of the new rice protein-based formula in infants with cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA).

Effects of Inhaled Epinephrine on Systemic Allergic Reactions During Allergy Testing, Immunotherapy or Oral Challenges
The goal of this exploratory study is to evaluate the effects of inhaled epinephrine in subjects, who may not be eligible for the GHL-101 trial, and who are experiencing systemic allergic reaction (SAR) that occur following allergy testing, subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), oral challenges (with food and/or drug) or oral immunotherapy (OIT).

Efficacy and Safety of Egg Ladders in Children With IgE-Mediated Hen's Egg Protein Allergy
Hen's Egg Allergy is one of the most common food allergies in early childhood. The first-line treatment is the elimination of hen's egg proteins from the child's or maternal diet. Available data from the literature indicate that most children with hen's egg allergy acquire tolerance to hen's egg proteins with age. An assessment of tolerance acquisition to them is commonly performed using egg ladder. However, scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of the egg ladder in children with hen's egg allergy is limited. Currently, there is no standardised egg ladder protocol, and different versions of the ladder and recommend by scientific societies in various...

Efficacy of Tezepelumab in Peanut Oral Immunotherapy
The proposed study is a proof-of-concept Phase 2, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of tezepelumab and peanut Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for the treatment of peanut allergy. Study participation is divided into 3 periods: (i) a monotherapy period comprised of injections of either Tezepelumab or placebo from week 0 to week 8, (ii) followed by a combination therapy period comprised of 56 weeks during which peanut OIT is built up and maintained, and (iii) a treatment withdrawal period comprised of 12 weeks. This study will enroll 62 peanut-allergic individuals from 12 to 55 years of age who experience dose-limiting symptoms to...

Endomicroscopic Evaluation of Food-induced Gastrointestinal Mucosal Alteration
The overarching goal of this study is to establish a first ever registry in the U.S. to collect outcomes data to evaluate changes in the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa following direct food application utilizing Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE). This will be assessed in pediatric and adult patients who present to the outpatient clinic with persistent irritable bowel syndrome-like symptoms while testing negative for celiac disease and have either negative or very low/low levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) serological tests.
