Study food allergy patterns and genetics over time
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study follows people with food allergy and some closely related or healthy people to learn how food allergy (and related conditions) develops over time. It may help researchers find causes and better ways to predict and treat food allergy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can join if you are newborn to age 99 (or age 2–99 if visiting NIH in person).
- You agree to store your samples (blood, saliva, swabs, stool, and possibly other tissues) for future research.
- You have a main doctor (like a pediatrician or internist) who manages your health needs.
- You must be in one of these groups: have food allergy symptoms, have positive allergy tests, have certain related conditions, or be a close relative/healthy volunteer with no food allergy.
- If you do special blood-filtering procedure (leukapheresis), you must be 18+ with stable blood counts.

This study looks for the biological reasons behind food allergies by collecting a small amount of blood. It may help scientists better understand different types of food allergy and eventually improve diagnosis or treatments.
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.
This study looks at how food allergies and eczema (atopic dermatitis) are related. You will have an oral food challenge (eating a small amount of a possible allergen in a safe setting) and give blood and skin samples to help researchers learn more.
This observational study follows people with eczema (atopic dermatitis) and sometimes related allergies over time, even if they keep their usual medical treatments. It may help researchers better understand how these conditions change and what factors relate to symptoms.
This study is observing children with food allergies who are willing to do an oral food challenge (eating the allergen in a safe clinic setting). It helps doctors learn more about how allergies affect children.
This study looks at whether a specific immune signal (IgE) found in the gut lining can help diagnose food allergy or food-related hypersensitivity. You may join if you have symptoms that suggest a food allergy, or (if you’re healthy) if you need endoscopy for other reasons.
