Food Allergy clinical trials

EmoTIChealth: A game to boost teen health

This trial tests a serious video game designed to help teenagers learn skills for better health. It's for 12- to 16-year-olds who speak Spanish and have internet access.

Nickel and LTPs in stomach and bowel issues

This study looks at whether being sensitive to nickel or certain proteins called LTPs is linked to ongoing stomach and bowel problems. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and help people with functional dyspepsia or irritable bowel syndrome.

Pectin study for peach (and peanut) LTP allergy

This study is testing whether a natural fiber called pectin can help people who are allergic to peach (and sometimes peanut) due to a specific protein (LTP). You would eat pectin every day for a while and then have food challenges to see if your allergy gets better.

Cashew allergy treatment with cashew protein

This trial tests whether giving very small amounts of cashew protein (like a food immunotherapy) can help children and teens with cashew allergy become less allergic. If it works, it might lower the risk of severe reactions.

Skin patch test for food allergies in IBS

This study tests whether a skin patch can help identify food allergies in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) whose symptoms are not well controlled. It involves avoiding certain foods and using patches on your back to see if you react.

Low-dose sesame oral immunotherapy for children

This study tests if a very low daily dose of sesame protein (given as a powder under the tongue) can help children with sesame allergy become less sensitive to sesame. The goal is to reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions from accidental exposure.

Plant allergy test study using skin prick tests

This study is checking how common allergies to certain plants are by using skin prick tests. If you or your child are already coming to the allergy clinic, you might be able to take part.

Group therapy for parents of children with food allergies

This study tests a group therapy program to help parents manage anxiety or depression related to their child's serious food allergy. You'll attend 6 weekly group sessions and fill out questionnaires online to see if the program helps you feel better.

Testing oral sesame treatment to reduce severe reactions

This study tests an oral (mouth) sesame treatment designed to help the body stay “unresponsive” to sesame after treatment. If you previously took part in the earlier sesame study, this trial may help you see whether a sustained tolerance can be achieved and maintained.

Study collects data and samples to understand eosinophilic conditions

This study collects information and biological samples to better understand what causes certain allergic/eosinophilic conditions. It may help researchers learn mechanisms and improve future care.

Shrimp Sensitization and Allergy Among Patients With Edible Insect Allergy

Study how an Asian diet affects gut bacteria and allergy risk in pregnancy

This study looks at whether eating a traditional Asian diet during pregnancy changes gut bacteria and body chemistry in a way that may lower (or change) a baby’s risk of developing allergies. You would follow the diet during pregnancy and be tracked after delivery.

Study of children with acute food-triggered gut reactions

This study follows children (from birth to age 17) who have been diagnosed with acute food protein–induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). Doctors want to better understand this condition after a suspected reaction to food, using either symptom-based diagnosis or a supervised food challenge when needed.

IBS and immune reactions to bacteria in the gut

This study tests whether some IBS symptoms are linked to a certain gut bacteria and an immune reaction. It aims to understand the cause of IBS to find better treatments.

Testing a Safe Control for Alpha-Gal Syndrome Food Challenges

This study helps researchers understand the best way to safely test whether people with alpha-gal syndrome (an allergy to red meat) can tolerate pork. You'll undergo a controlled food challenge with medical supervision and access to emergency medications.
