Boiled cashew nut therapy for children with cashew allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 2 and 17 years old.
- They must have a confirmed cashew nut allergy (by a doctor's test like a food challenge or skin prick test).
- They must weigh at least 7 kg (about 15.4 pounds).
- They cannot have had a life-threatening allergic reaction (like low blood pressure or needing a breathing tube) or severe asthma.
- They cannot be taking certain heart medications or have other serious health issues that increase risk.

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 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 whether people who already completed cashew oral immunotherapy can stop eating cashew protein and still be protected from allergic reactions. It helps researchers understand if the treatment leads to lasting tolerance.
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 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.
