Testing blood for grass or birch allergy antibodies
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at your blood to find allergy-related antibodies if you have pollen allergies to grass or birch. It may help researchers better understand what in the immune system drives allergy symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re over 18 years old
- You have a history of hay-fever type allergies (allergic rhinitis), eye allergy (conjunctivitis), or asthma caused by grass or birch pollen
- You must agree in writing to give blood and to allow the study team to do experimental work with your blood
- You have NOT taken corticosteroid medicines right before the study (see timing below)
- You have NOT taken corticosteroids by mouth in the last 10 days, or as long-acting shots in the last 3 months

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at a type of immune cell (B regulatory cell) in the blood of people with and without allergies to pollens, house dust mites, or insect stings. It aims to help understand how these cells work in allergic disease.
This study looks at people with a birch pollen allergy to see how exposure in the nose can change allergy-related blood signals. The results may help explain why symptoms can “boost” throughout the body after nasal allergen contact.
This study looks at how older adults (60+) with birch pollen allergies react to nasal allergen exposure. It compares people who currently have allergies, those who used to have them, and those who never did.
This trial tests a new antibody treatment for eye allergy symptoms caused by birch pollen. It may help if you have severe eye allergies during birch season.
This study checks whether a new blood test can measure allergy-related immune signals (IgE) in people with known or suspected allergies. If it works well, it could help doctors diagnose and track IgE allergies more easily.
This study is looking for adults and children aged 5 and older who have allergies to cats (Part A) and/or birch pollen (Part B). The goal is to better understand these allergies. If you are allergic to cats, you must not currently live with a cat and must not have lived with one in the past year.
