Who can be in this study: • Children ages 6-17 years • Diagnosed with asthma that has been uncontrolled • African-American or Caucasian The purpose of this research study is to find out if a Laser Doppler (HILD) type test that looks at histamine response can help determine if certain groups of children with asthma respond differently to antihistamines (drugs that block histamine) such as levocetirizine (study drug) than others. We also want to see if certain gene patterns in children with asthma may be related to how a child responds to levocetirizine.
Peanut Allergy: A study on a skin patch called ViaskinTM Peanut.
This study is being done for children: • Between 4-7 years old • With diagnosis of Peanut Allergy • Can use the skin patch for 1 year (12 months)...
This study is being done for children: • Between 4-7 years old • With diagnosis of Peanut Allergy • Can use the skin patch for 1 year (12 months) The main purpose of this study is to learn how well ViaskinTM Peanut works and how safe it is compared with a placebo patch over a 12-month study treatment period in children aged 4 to 7 years with peanut allergy. A placebo patch is an identical patch with inactive material that looks like the ViaskinTM Peanut patch, but does not have any active study drug. Researchers use a placebo to see if the ViaskinTM Peanut patch works better or is safer than taking nothing.
Weight control and Asthma: The process of steroid medications
This study is being done for children and teens: • 5-17 years • Asthma diagnosis • Steroid use during hospitalization...
This study is being done for children and teens: • 5-17 years • Asthma diagnosis • Steroid use during hospitalization The purpose of this study is to find out if children with obesity process steroid medication differently than children who do not have obesity when having an asthma attack. this study will help us figure out how to give each person prescribed the medicine the "just right" dose for them—not too high and not too low.
