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 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.
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 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 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 a treatment that slowly builds tolerance to multiple nut allergens (peanut and tree nuts) in children with allergies. It aims to reduce the risk of severe reactions from accidental exposure.
