Wheat oral immunotherapy for children with wheat allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a controlled, gradual treatment called oral immunotherapy can help children with wheat allergy eat wheat safely. It involves a supervised wheat challenge first, then daily wheat doses for 12 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 17 years old (or 3–17 for the treatment phase).
- Your child must have had a reaction (like hives, swelling, or trouble breathing) within 4 hours of eating wheat or gluten.
- Your child must have a positive allergy test (skin prick or blood test) for wheat.
- You must be willing for your child to try a supervised wheat challenge (eating wheat in a controlled setting) to confirm the allergy.
- Your child must not have had a life-threatening allergic reaction to wheat in the past.
- Your child must not be taking certain medications (like antihistamines, steroids, or immunosuppressants) in the weeks before starting.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a supervised “oral tolerance induction” approach, which means giving carefully controlled wheat exposure to try to train the immune system to tolerate wheat. It’s designed for children who have confirmed IgE-mediated wheat allergy, aiming to reduce allergic reactions over time.
This study tests whether a treatment program can help children and teenagers with peanut allergies develop tolerance to peanuts over time. The goal is to reduce the risk of serious allergic reactions if they accidentally eat peanuts.
This study tests whether taking a maintenance dose of wheat oral immunotherapy once or twice a week is more effective for children with wheat allergy. It aims to find the best schedule to keep them protected from allergic reactions.
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 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 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.
