Study of food allergy in children under 16
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 15 years and 9 months old.
- Your child must have a confirmed food allergy (either from a food challenge test or strong history with positive skin test and blood test).
- Your child must be willing to do an oral food challenge (eating small amounts of the allergen in a clinic).
- The food allergen must be one of these: hazelnut, walnut, pistachio, cashew, peanut, cow's milk, wheat, egg, sesame, celery, fenugreek, pea, lentils, or another similar food.
- Your child cannot have had an oral challenge for the same allergen before.
- No objections or opposition to participating.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests a slow, multi-food oral immunotherapy (giving small amounts of several foods) in young children with food allergies. It aims to see if this treatment can help children safely eat more foods without allergic reactions.
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 trial studies whether an immune-supportive diet can improve gut health (gut permeability) in children with confirmed peanut or tree-nut allergy. If you join, the researchers will use allergy testing and gut-related diet approaches to see whether symptoms and gut measures change.
This trial tests if children with eczema who avoid certain foods actually have a food allergy. It uses a supervised oral food challenge to confirm.
This study tests a new approach to oral immunotherapy for food allergies, aiming to make it safer and more effective. It's for people who have had a clear allergic reaction to a food and have a positive allergy test.
