Oral allergy treatment for young kids with food allergies
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial studies an oral immunotherapy approach, where children take tiny, controlled amounts of certain allergy-causing foods to build tolerance. It may help reduce allergic reactions, but only if kids meet safety and monitoring requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a confirmed allergy to peanut and/or tree nuts and/or cow's milk and/or hen's egg (based on tests and a positive supervised food challenge).
- Your child can safely follow a home plan and come for required clinic visits during the build-up phase.
- Your child does not have (suspected) eosinophilic esophagitis, a problem where the food tube gets inflamed from allergies.
- Your child’s asthma is controlled (no uncontrolled asthma or ongoing viral wheeze).
- Parents/guardians can recognize allergic reactions and give emergency allergy medicine if needed.
- Your child is not in another treatment study right now (unless it is a study about guided early introduction of highly allergenic foods).

This trial tests a slow, multi-food oral immunotherapy (giving small amounts of several foods) in young children with food allergies. It aims to see if this treatment can help children safely eat more foods without allergic reactions.
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 tests if a very low daily dose of sesame protein (given as a powder under the tongue) can help children with sesame allergy become less sensitive to sesame. The goal is to reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions from accidental exposure.
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.
This trial tests whether giving very small amounts of cashew protein (like a food immunotherapy) can help children and teens with cashew allergy become less allergic. If it works, it might lower the risk of severe reactions.
This study tests a treatment that gradually exposes children to small amounts of peanut and certain tree nuts to reduce their allergy. It aims to help children safely tolerate multiple nuts at once.
