Pectin study for peach (and peanut) LTP allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a natural fiber called pectin can help people who are allergic to peach (and sometimes peanut) due to a specific protein (LTP). You would eat pectin every day for a while and then have food challenges to see if your allergy gets better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and have been diagnosed with a peach allergy (rash, swelling, or more serious reactions).
- A skin prick test or blood test shows you are allergic to a peach protein called Pru p 3 (LTP).
- You have had a supervised 'food challenge' with peach juice that confirmed your allergy.
- If you are also allergic to peanut, your peanut allergy must be confirmed by a food challenge too.
- You are not currently taking certain medicines (like antibiotics or steroids), and you have no serious health problems (like liver disease or asthma with poor lung function).

This Phase 2 study tests whether taking capsules made from donor gut microbes is safe and can reduce allergic reactions to peanuts. It involves peanut allergy testing and close follow-up with stool samples and check-ins.
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.
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 looks at a new way to treat peach allergy using tiny microneedles. It aims to find better tests for diagnosing the allergy and to see if this treatment can help people build tolerance, so they can eat peaches safely.
This study tests a medication called omalizumab (a common allergy drug) to see if it can help people with severe allergies to plant foods like peach and melon, especially when standard treatments have failed. If you qualify, you may receive the drug and be monitored to see if your food allergies improve.
This trial tests a new medication called RPT904 in people with IgE-mediated food allergies to foods like peanut, milk, egg, cashew, or walnut. The goal is to see if it reduces allergic reactions when you eat a small amount of the food.
