Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that treatment with omalizumab will decrease the nasal allergen challenge late-phase eosinophil count in nasal brushings at the time when blood basophils have become hypo-responsive to in vitro allergen exposure.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Twenty four subjects (1:1 randomization) will undergo a cat allergen nasal challenge prior to treatment and another challenge after 2 months of treatment or when their blood basophils become hyporesponsive to cat allergen in vitro. A second group of 10 subjects (1:1 active:placebo), will not undergo nasal challenges. This group will participate in an ancillary study in which the effects of omalizumab on gene expression profiles in peripheral blood cells will be studied.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Omalizumab
Active treatment: Experimental This arm will receive treatment with omalizumab at the dose FDA-approved for the treatment of allergic asthma.
Omalizumab
Injections subcutaneously (up to 3) every 2 or 4 wks based on the subjects weight and baseline total serum IgE level as approved for therapy in allergic asthma. Duration of therapy is approximately 14 wks.
Placebo
This arm will receive treatment with a placebo injections based on the FDA-approved dosing schedule approved for omalizumab for the treatment of allergic asthma.In general injection number and frequency are determined by a subject's weight and IgE level.
Placebo
Injections subcutaneously (up to 3) every 2 or 4 wks based on the subjects weight and baseline total serum IgE level as approved for therapy in allergic asthma. Duration of therapy is approximately 14 wks.
