Outcomes in Stevens Johnsons Syndrome and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis
This is a prospective, multicenter cohort observational; study to compare treatment outcomes in patients admitted to the hospital with Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome/Toxic Epidermolysis, aiming to assess the utility of medical management. The hypothesis of this study is that one or more treatment options will demonstrate improved patient outcomes. The primary objectives are cessation of progression of disease, time to complete re-epithelialization, length of stay, and mortality rate in the treatment groups as compared to those receiving supportive care alone. Exploratory analyses will assess the cause, risk factors, and severity prediction factors associated with the disease.

Pasteurised Donor Human Milk Supplementation for Term Babies
PRESENT is a multi-center randomised controlled trial that aims to assess whether access to pasteurized donor human milk as supplementary nutrition in the first five days of life for term infants born to women with diabetes in pregnancy reduces the proportion of infants who are admitted to a neonatal unit for management of hypoglycemia compared with current standard hospital care. The trial will also assess other important outcomes including breastfeeding rates, maternal mental health, and infant cow's milk allergy. There will be two treatment arms. In the intervention arm, PDHM will be made available to infants from randomisation until day 5 of life. Infants allocated to the...

Potency of HDM Sublingual AIT Tablets in Assuring the Persistency of Asthma Control in HDM Allergic Patients With Severe Asthma, Treated With Tezepelumab
The aim of this drug trial is to evaluate the annualized asthma exacerbation rate under treatment with Acarizax versus placebo. The trial is intended for adults aged 18 to 65 with severe uncontrolled asthma and a house dust mite allergy. The study will involve 32 patients (up to 38 with study dropouts) recruited from French hospitals, in pulmonology and allergology departments. Initially, all participants will receive Tezepelumab for 3 to 6 months (M-3/-6) to control asthma symptoms. If asthma is not controlled after 6 months, the participant will be excluded from the study and will continue on standard treatment. Once their asthma is controlled, patients will be randomized in...

Prevalence and Description of FIRE (Food Induced Immediate Response of the Esophagus) in the Pediatric Population With Eosinophilic Esophagitis
A new clinical entity of eosinophilic esophagitis, Food Induced Immediate Response of the Esophagus or FIRE, has been described since 2020. Diagnostic criteria are not clearly established. Specific questioning is necessary for differential diagnosis, such as the oro-pharyngeal syndrome notably described in pollinics, or a mechanical blockage strictly speaking linked to esophagitis. The aim is to obtain epidemiological data on this entity.

Quality of Life in Food Allergy: Validation of Three Mini-questionnaires
The evaluation of the quality of life (QOL) in food allergy (AA) is difficult due to the lack of a currently validated questionnaire. There are only a few tools available to assess the impact of nutritional care on the QOL of the allergic patient . Available questionnaires are poorly adapted to studies dealing with large cohorts where functionality and ease of use are determining factors. The aim of this work will be to develop and validate QOL questionnaires for AA, short and easy to use, also integrating the theme of collective catering in order to assess the evolution of QOL in patients with food allergy. The target population of the questionnaires will be: i) the parents...

San Raffaele EoE Biobank
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a immuno-mediated disease, characterised by a Th-2 food-antigen driven chronic inflammatory response of the esophagus. Main symptoms are dysphagia and food bolus impaction, frequently overlapping with most atypical and general symptoms like heartburn or regurgitation and difficulty to thrive in children. Overall incidence and prevalence of EoE are rapidly increasing. The complete comprehension of pathogenetic and molecular mechanism underlying this complex and relatively new disease is still to be conquered. For this reason, we created this EoE Biobank, in order to collect blood, oral and esophageal tissue samples of proven EoE patients to...

The Esophageal String Test as a Diagnostic Screening Tool for Eosinophilic Esophagitis Among Africans With Dysphagia in Mali and the United States
Background: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a disease that causes inflammation in the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that moves food from the mouth to the stomach. Diagnosing EoE currently requires a specialized tool called an endoscope. The esophageal string test (EST) is another test; the EST collects fluid from the upper digestive tract. An EST is simpler and cheaper than an endoscopy. Researchers want to know if an EST can diagnose EoE. Objective: To test if the EST can diagnose EoE in people who have trouble swallowing. Eligibility: Adults aged 18 to 65 years with trouble swallowing. They must have been born in Africa and be of African...
