Study how an Asian diet affects gut bacteria and allergy risk in pregnancy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.

This trial studies whether following a Mediterranean-style eating pattern during pregnancy can lower the chance that a child develops allergies. It may help families who already have a higher allergy risk, by changing diet during early pregnancy.
This study looks at whether eating or avoiding peanuts and eggs during pregnancy can affect the baby's risk of allergies. You and your baby will be followed for a year after birth.
This study looks at how gut bacteria (microbiome) and vitamin D levels in newborns may influence whether children develop allergies. It starts with newborn babies and aims to better understand what early factors could predict allergic diseases.
This study follows pregnant people and their babies from the first few months of pregnancy through at least one year after birth. It aims to learn how health and development turn out, especially for mothers who can keep coming to the same clinic for follow-up.
This study looks at how common allergens and everyday toxins from things like cleaning products affect your skin, gut, and airways. It may help find ways to prevent or manage allergies and related health issues.
This study tests a special baby formula (partially broken-down protein with added prebiotics and probiotics) to see if it helps strengthen babies' skin barrier and reduce allergy risk. It's designed for newborns who have a family history of allergies.
