Brief Title  Exploration Of Key Targets And Biomarkers Involved In An Allergic Response In Subjects With Allergic Rhinitis (Hay Fever)
Official Title  A Study to Validate Key Therapeutic Targets and Biomarkers During Allergen Exposure in Subjects With Allergic Rhinitis
Brief Summary

This study is aimed at validating key therapeutic targets and biomarkers associated with allergic rhinitis. The therapeutic target expression will be investigated after a 7 day course of corticosteroid treatment followed by allergen challenge.

Detailed Description
Study Phase Phase I
Study Type  Interventional
Study Design  Diagnostic, Randomized, Double-Blind, Crossover Assignment, Pharmacodynamics Study
Primary Outcome Measure  Change in expression of key allergy targets in the nose following exposure to allergen. Assessment of protein expression measured by western blotting and immunohistochemistry in nasal biopsy tissue.
Secondary Outcome Measure  Effect of corticosteroids treatment on the change in target expression following allergen challenge. Nasal lavage fluid and nasal secretions will be measured by ELISA and chemiluminescent assay.
Condition  Allergic Rhinitis
Intervention  Drug: Fluticasone Propionate
MEDLINE PMIDs
