Cashew allergy treatment study for children
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests if giving small, increasing amounts of cashew can help children outgrow their allergy. It may be an option for kids who are allergic to cashew and have had a clear allergic reaction in a food challenge.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 months and 17 years old.

This study tests a daily under-the-tongue treatment for children with cashew allergy. It might help your child tolerate small amounts of cashew and reduce reactions.
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.
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 compares two ways to manage food allergies in infants: giving tiny amounts of the allergen (oral immunotherapy) versus avoiding the allergen completely. It hopes to find out which approach helps young children outgrow their food allergies more effectively.
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 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.
