Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04851860
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Allergic Rhinitis
Additional Details

The prevelance of Allergic Respiratory Diseases has been increased worldwide and affect 1of 5 persons of general population . ARDs are triggered by exposure to allergen and includes allergic rhinitis with or without conjunctivitis and bronchial asthma. ARDs are associated with decreased quality of life and increased economic burden . Allergen-specific immunotherapy is the only disease modifying therapy preventing the evolution of AR to asthma, and its efficacy has long been known since observations by Leonard Noon in 1911. Allergen immunotherapy for AR is currently considered when showing strongly suggestive symptoms of AR which interfere with daily activities or sleep, and having evidence of IgE sensitization to ≥1 clinically relevant allergen . The European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) recommends treatmentof children with moderate to severe AR with Allergen Immunotherapy. It includes sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) and subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT).Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) has been the gold standard, whereas sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) has emerged as an effective and safe alternative . Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is the only treatment that regulates the immunological process during development of allergic rhinitis (AR), rather than simply treating symptoms. Platelet activation occurs during antigen-induced airway reactions in allergic and asthmatic subjects. Raised levels of platelet-derived mediators, such as the Platelet Factor-4 (PF4), it is observed in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of atopic individuals, and has the ability to activate eosinophils, increase expression of Fc-IgG and Fc-IgE receptors, and stimulate basophils to release histamine.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Other: allergic rhintis children

sublingual immunotherapy is used for allergic rhintis children by dosing Allergen immunotherapy extract as sublingual drops which were kept under the tongue for a couple of minutes and then swallowed. The sublingual drops were administered in the morning on an empty stomach .

Interventions

Drug: - sublingual immunotherapy

sublingual immunotherapy is the only disease modifying therapy preventing the evolution of AR to asthma
