Do food prick test results change over time?
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study checks whether the shelf life of food extracts used in skin prick tests affects how consistent the results are. It may help make food allergy testing more reliable for people like you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study is checking how common allergies to certain plants are by using skin prick tests. If you or your child are already coming to the allergy clinic, you might be able to take part.
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 looks for the biological reasons behind food allergies by collecting a small amount of blood. It may help scientists better understand different types of food allergy and eventually improve diagnosis or treatments.
This study follows people with food allergy and some closely related or healthy people to learn how food allergy (and related conditions) develops over time. It may help researchers find causes and better ways to predict and treat food allergy.
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.
This study checks whether you’re a safe and willing candidate to take part in food allergy clinical studies at one location. It helps decide who can safely undergo the “gold standard” food challenge to confirm or rule out food allergy.
