Screening to join food allergy tests with a food challenge
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study checks whether you’re a safe and willing candidate to take part in food allergy clinical studies at one location. It helps decide who can safely undergo the “gold standard” food challenge to confirm or rule out food allergy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You think you may have a food allergy based on your past symptoms or history
- You are interested in doing the food challenge test for diagnosis
- You can give informed consent (you agree to participate)
- You are not currently taking steroid medicines by mouth
- Your asthma (if you have it) is not moderate to severe

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with suspected or known food allergies to find out how much of a food it takes to cause a reaction. It uses an oral food challenge (eating the food under medical supervision) to predict your personal threshold.
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.
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 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 study tests how a specific form of treatment is given to people with a tree nut allergy. The goal is to find a safer, more effective way to help your body tolerate tree nuts.
