Zafirlukast for preventing cat allergy symptoms
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a medication called zafirlukast to see if it can prevent allergic reactions to cat dander. It might help reduce symptoms like sneezing, itching, and stuffiness when you're around cats.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This Phase 1 study looks at how the immune system drives allergic airway inflammation in people with allergic asthma, and compares them with allergic non-asthma and non-allergic healthy volunteers. The goal is to identify immune “signals” and cell “receptors” involved, which may guide better future treatments.
This trial tests a new way to treat cat allergies by giving tiny injections directly into a lymph node (a part of your immune system), instead of under the skin. It aims to see if this method is safe and can reduce cat allergy symptoms, even in people with asthma.
This study tests whether a special probiotic spray, used in your home, can reduce allergy symptoms in people who are allergic to cats. If you have cat allergies with nasal symptoms and live in a stable home, you may be able to join.
This trial tests an injectable treatment that may help manage eye allergy symptoms caused by cat allergies. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and effective for adults and children, and includes a controlled cat exposure challenge.
This study looks at lymph nodes in the neck to understand how the body responds to cat allergy treatments. It may help researchers improve allergy shots or other therapies for people with cat allergies.
This Phase 2 study tests a “viral” treatment meant to reprogram the lining of your nose to reduce allergy-like immune responses. It is testing whether this approach is safe and can help people with cat allergy (with or without asthma) or compare against healthy people.
