Food allergy threshold test and prediction study
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a history or suspicion of food allergy based on symptoms like hives, swelling, belly pain, vomiting, or trouble breathing within an hour of eating a food.
- You must be able to stop taking all antihistamines for 1 week before the food challenge.
- You have not had any previous treatment to desensitize you to a food allergen.
- You do not have uncontrolled asthma or long-term hives.
- You do not have any other major medical condition that would make the study unsafe for you.

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 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 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 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.
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 study is checking how common allergies to certain plants are by using skin prick tests. If you or your child are already coming to the allergy clinic, you might be able to take part.
