Cashew sublingual immunotherapy for children
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 11 years old.
- They must have a doctor-confirmed cashew allergy, shown by a reaction to cashew and positive allergy tests (skin prick and blood test).
- They must have a positive food challenge to cashew at the start of the study.
- They cannot have had a severe allergic reaction that caused unconsciousness or needed a breathing tube.
- Their asthma, if any, must be well controlled, and they cannot have used certain other food allergy treatments for cashew or pistachio in the last 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 collects blood (or uses already-collected blood) to learn why peanut, tree nut, and related food allergies happen and how they behave during challenges. It may help researchers better understand allergies and improve future care.
This trial tests whether a specially boiled cashew nut can help children with cashew allergy eat cashews without a reaction. It is for children ages 2 to 17 with a confirmed cashew allergy, and it avoids other serious health conditions.
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.
This study tests whether people who already completed cashew oral immunotherapy can stop eating cashew protein and still be protected from allergic reactions. It helps researchers understand if the treatment leads to lasting tolerance.
