Testing a gut-based IgE blood test for food allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to give informed consent (agree to join the study).
- You must have suspected food allergy or food hypersensitivity, or be a healthy control with a reason to have endoscopic testing.
- If you’re a healthy control, you need an indication for endoscopy (for example, a family history of a tumor or evaluation to rule out stomach inflammation).
- You must not be pregnant.
- You may be asked to undergo or support endoscopy-related testing for the study.

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 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.
This study uses a tiny camera during an endoscopy to see how the gut lining reacts to certain foods. It may help find hidden food sensitivities in people with ongoing IBS-like symptoms.
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 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.
