Predicting food allergy from blood IgE levels in eczema patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks for blood test patterns that may predict whether a child with eczema (atopic dermatitis) is likely to have a food allergy. If you join, you may do supervised oral food challenges with a placebo and the suspected foods to see what triggers symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Ages 3 to 21 years
- You are currently in another food-allergy natural history study called 15-I-0162
- Your blood test shows very high allergy antibody levels (total IgE) at or above 900 kU/L
- You have a history of eczema (atopic dermatitis)
- You agree to an oral food challenge with both placebo and test food(s)
- You agree to blood sample storage for future research and to genetic testing

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 tests if omalizumab (Xolair), an injectable medicine that blocks allergy antibodies, can help people with food allergies tolerate small amounts of their trigger foods. It's for people with high total IgE levels who were not eligible for a related study.
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.
This trial tests if children with eczema who avoid certain foods actually have a food allergy. It uses a supervised oral food challenge to confirm.
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 trial tests a new medication called RPT904 in people with IgE-mediated food allergies to foods like peanut, milk, egg, cashew, or walnut. The goal is to see if it reduces allergic reactions when you eat a small amount of the food.
