This study looks at whether a BAT (a blood test) can stand in for sting/venom “challenges” for people already receiving venom immunotherapy. If it works, it could help patients avoid more risky or uncomfortable challenge procedures while still checking whether treatment is working.
This trial studies whether having strong reactions to a specific bee venom protein can make venom immunotherapy less effective. It may help doctors better predict who is at higher risk for therapy failure after bee stings.
