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 whether a small daily dose of cashew extract placed under the tongue can help children with cashew allergy tolerate more cashew without reacting. It is for children ages 1 to 11 who have a confirmed cashew allergy and are otherwise healthy.
This study tests a treatment that gradually exposes children to small amounts of peanut and certain tree nuts to reduce their allergy. It aims to help children safely tolerate multiple nuts at once.
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 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 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.
