Dataset from Cockroach Immunotherapy in Children and Adolescents

Scientific evidence has shown that, over the past two decades, the combination of cockroach allergy and cockroach exposure is one of the most important factors contributing to the dramatic increase in asthma morbidity seen in inner city children with asthma. Therefore, a major goal of the Inner City Asthma Consortium (ICAC) is to evaluate the efficacy of cockroach immunotherapy in inner city asthma.The primary objective of the study is to determine if the response to nasal allergen challenge (NAC) will be changed with treatment with cockroach subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) treatment.
