A Biorepository of Multiple Allergic Diseases (MADREP) With Longitudinal Follow-Up

Allergy, Sinus Disorders, Atopic Diseases, Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis, Atopic Dermatitis, EoE, Drug a

Background: Allergic or sinus diseases can affect the skin, sinuses, airways, and other parts of the body. Examples include pollen and environmental allergies, food allergies, asthma, and eczema. To learn more about how to prevent and treat these diseases, researchers need to study data, blood, fluid, and tissue samples from people affected by them. Objective: To collect data, blood, fluid, and tissue samples from people with allergic or sinus diseases. Eligibility: People aged 3 to 100 years with allergic or sinus diseases. Design: Participants will have at least one clinic visit, and most participants will have a baseline visit, annual visit, and an end of study visit. The duration of the study is 1 to 3 years. During the first clinic visit, the following procedures will be done to collect data, blood, fluid, and tissue samples: * Blood will be collected. * Cells and fluid may be collected from the inside of the nose using a long swab, and a small piece of skin may be scraped from inside the nose. * Skin cells will be collected by rubbing with a cotton swab. * A urine sample will be collected. * Allergy skin prick tests. Allergy-causing substances will be placed on the back or arm and the skin underneath gently scratched. If the participant is allergic to the substance, the skin may become red, itchy, and swollen locally ( at the site of the test). * Lung function test. Participants will breathe into a machine that measures the air moving in and out of their lungs. * If, as part of their routine care, participants are undergoing procedures such as having nasal polyps removed, skin tissue samples taken, or gastrointestinal biopsies, additional tissues may be collected for this study. * Participants will complete online questionnaires regarding their symptoms, health, and life. Participants may return for more visits for up to 3 years.

A Study To Learn About Two Study Medicines (PF-07275315 And PF-07264660) In People Who Have Moderate To Severe Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic Dermatitis

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of 2 study medicines (PF-07275315 and PF-07264660) for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). AD is a long- lasting itchy red rash, caused by a skin reaction. This study is seeking participants who: * are 18 years of age or more. * Were confirmed to have AD at least 6 months ago. * Are not having an effective treatment result from medicines that are applied on skin for AD. * Are considered by their doctors to have moderate to severe AD. In Stage 1 of the study, participants will receive either PF-07275315 or PF-07264660 or placebo. Stage 1 is complete. In Stage 2 of the study participants will receive either PF-07275315 or placebo. In Stage 3 of the study participants who have received anti-inflammatory proteins, will receive either PF-07275315 or placebo. In Stage 4 of the study participants will receive either PF-07264660 or placebo. A placebo does not have any medicine in it but looks just like the medicines being studied. PF-07275315 or PF-07264660 or placebo will be given as multiple shots in the clinic over the course of each Stage. The experiences of people receiving PF-07275315 or PF-07264660 will be compared to people who do not. This will help determine if PF-07275315 and PF-07264660 are safe and effective. Participants in Stages 1, 2 and 4 will be involved in this study for up to 40 weeks (10 months). Participants in Stage 3 will be involved in this study for up to 52 weeks (13 months).

Testing an Immunotherapy Anti-cancer Drug, Nivolumab, for Advanced Cancers in Patients With Autoimmune Disorders, AIM-NIVO

Autoimmune Disease ยท Crohn Disease ยท Dermatomyositis

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works alone and in combination with other treatments, such as ipilimumab, cabozantinib, platinum containing therapy, and fluoropyrimidine, in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced), to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot removed by surgery (unresectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cabozantinib blocks certain proteins, which may help keep tumor cells from growing. It may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Cabozantinib is a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a type of angiogenesis inhibitor. Chemotherapy drugs, such as platinum containing therapies and fluoropyrimidine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving nivolumab alone and in combination with other treatments, including ipilimumab, cabozantinib, platinum containing therapy, or fluoropyrimidine, may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and advanced, metastatic, or unresectable cancer.

Study of Targeted Therapies for the Treatment of Adult Participants With Active Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic Arthritis

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a type of arthritis that happens when the body's immune system attacks healthy cells and tissues causing joint pain, stiffness, and swelling. Symptoms can get worse and go away for periods of time. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of targeted therapies through a series of substudies, for the treatment of active psoriatic arthritis and to assess the changes in disease symptoms. The therapies being assessed in this sub-study are risankizumab and lutikizumab. Participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to one of the three treatment arms: lutikizumab monotherapy, risankizumab monotherapy or a combination therapy of lutikizumab and risankizumab. Around 120 participants will be enrolled in the study at approximately 40 sites worldwide. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care (due to study procedures). Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Studies of Skin Microbes in Healthy People and in People With Skin Conditions

Eczema ยท Atopic Dermatitis

This study will examine microbes (e.g., bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live on human skin and how microbes contribute to health and disease. It will analyze healthy human skin and how the these microorganisms might change in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), a skin condition also known as eczema. Healthy volunteers, as well as patients with moderate to severe eczema (AD), between 2 and 40 years of age may be eligible for this study. We also wish to enroll children and adults aged 2-40 who have been diagnosed with inherited immune disorders known as HIES (hyperimmunoglobulin-E syndrome), WAS (Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome), or DOCK8 immunodeficiency because they frequently have skin problems similar to AD. Eligible participants undergo the following tests and procedures: * Medical family and medication history * Skin examination * Blood tests (research blood as well as serum IgE, and complete blood count) * Skin samples to analyze microbes. Samples are obtained by the following methods: swabbing the skin with a cotton swab; scraping (scratching) the skin gently with a blade to remove only the outermost skin layers; and, only in adults, biopsy (surgical removal) of a small skin sample less than 1/4-inch (5 mm) in diameter. * Nose swabs to analyze microbes. * Patients with eczema may have photographs of their skin taken to help monitor the skin rashes. Participants may be contacted periodically for follow-up studies. Patients with atopic dermatitis may have additional skin samples collected to examine changes in the skin bacteria over time and during all of the stages of eczema. In addition, patients who have a flare of their eczema are asked to undergo a skin sample collection as soon as possible.

Food-Specific and Component IgE Threshold Levels That Predict Food Allergy in People With Elevated Total Serum IgE Levels and Atopic Dermatitis

Milk and/or Peanut Allergy

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called eczema, makes skin dry, red, and itchy. People with AD are more likely to get a food allergy than people without AD. But some food allergy tests are not always accurate in people with AD. Researchers want to study if people are truly allergic to milk and/or peanuts. Objectives: To improve the ways doctors test for food allergy in people with AD. Eligibility: People ages 3-21 who have had AD; have a high total IgE level (an allergic antibody); might have a milk and/or peanut allergy; and are currently enrolled in another NIH study Design: Participants will be screened under another protocol. Participants will have a physical exam, blood tests, and medical history. Participants will breathe into a plastic device that measures lung strength. Participants may get a small plastic tube inserted in their arm. Participants who have not had an allergic reaction to food in the past 3 years will do 1 or more oral food challenge (OFCs) depending on their allergies. They will eat a little bit of the food they might be allergic to. They will be watched for a reaction. If they have one, they will know for sure they are allergic. They may keep eating bigger portions of the food until they either have a reaction or finish all the food. In some OFCs, participants will get a placebo food. OFCs will last a few hours or 2 days. Participants will repeat all tests at each OFC. Participation can last up to 12 months. ...

Metabolic Profiling of Immune Responses in Immune-mediated Diseases

Primary Immunodeficiency ยท Psoriasis ยท Atopic Dermatitis

Background: The immune system is the part of the body that fights infection. Some people have immune deficiencies that cause skin rashes, make them get sick often with infections, or make it difficult for their skin to heal. Researchers want to learn more to better treat conditions that affect immune response. Objective: To learn about how the immune system and skin healing are related to each other. Eligibility: People ages 18-75 with primary immune deficiency, eczema, or psoriasis. Healthy volunteers are also needed. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical and medicine history and a physical exam. They may take a pregnancy test. Participants will discuss the medicines or supplements they take as well as skin products they use, such as soaps and lotions. Participants will have up to 4 skin biopsies taken from the forearm. A needle will inject an anesthetic into the skin where the biopsy will be done. A sharp tool that looks like a tiny cookie cutter will be used to remove a round plug of skin a bit smaller than the tip of a pencil. Participants will give at least 1 blood sample. Participants may have optional skin swab collection. A cotton swab will be used to swab the skin on the arm. Participants may have optional skin tape collection. A sticky strip of tape will be placed on the arm and then removed. Participants may give leftover samples taken as part of their regular medical care. Participation will last for about 4 days. Participants will have 2 visits that each last about 1 hour. They may be asked to repeat the study in the future.
