Clinical Trials

Clinical & Genetics Research in Allergic & Immunologic Disease

Current Clinical Trial Offerings
PI: Giselle Mosnaim, MD, MS

The Clinical and Genetics Research in Allergic & Immunologic Disease program’s overarching goal is to improve the lives of people living with Allergic & Immunologic disease.

We conduct clinical trials in new therapeutic, diagnostic tools, and devices in:

  1. Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
  2. Asthma

Our team is comprised of a team of board-certified Allergist & Immunologist, research nurses & research coordinators. Our team collaborates with the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and Harvard School of Medicine.

Providers can refer patients to an enrolling trial or to our research volunteer database where they will be contacted about upcoming trials. Please refer to gmosnaim@northshore.org or EPIC message Dr. Giselle Mosnaim.

Teva Flair –  Demonstrating the efficacy of high dose and low dose fluticasone propionate/albuterol sulfate integrated electronic module multi-dose dry powder inhaler (eMDPI) compared to albuterol sulfate-only eMDPI in decreasing severe asthma exacerbations when used as a rescue medication.

Population: Adults and adolescents ³18 years of age, asthma ≥1 year, documented history of ≥1 severe asthma exacerbation in the past 12 months, ≥12% reversibility, ACQ-5 score ≥1.5 during screening assessment despite taking a stable dose of prescribed inhaled asthma controller medications
