Cashew allergy treatment with cashew protein
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 4 and 17 years old
- You have a confirmed cashew allergy based on skin prick tests or blood tests
- You have had an allergic reaction to cashew in a supervised food challenge
- Your parent or guardian signs a consent form (and you sign if you're over 16)
- You and your family are willing to work closely with the research team

This trial tests whether a specially boiled cashew nut can help children with cashew allergy eat cashews without a reaction. It is for children ages 2 to 17 with a confirmed cashew allergy, and it avoids other serious health conditions.
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.
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 checks if you can stay allergy-free to cashew nuts after completing immunotherapy. It aims to see if your immune system can handle cashew protein without reacting.
This trial tests a new way of giving cashew protein to young children with cashew allergy, gradually increasing the amount to help their bodies stop reacting. The goal is to help your child safely build tolerance to cashew so they may be able to eat it in the future.
