Testing steroids for food allergy reactions
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a steroid drug can help treat allergic reactions to food. If you have a food allergy that causes immediate symptoms (like hives or trouble breathing), this study may help find better ways to manage those reactions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must have a food allergy that is IgE-mediated (meaning it can cause immediate allergic reactions like hives or anaphylaxis)
- You must not have a non-IgE food allergy or a non-food allergy (like hay fever or bee sting allergy)
- Age must be between 1 and 65 years old
- You must be able to safely do an oral food challenge and not need steroids within one week before the challenge

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies people who may have an allergy to certain foods or antibiotics by giving small, controlled exposures to help confirm what’s causing reactions. If your symptoms match, the results could help your doctors guide safer food or medication choices.
This trial tests if inhaled epinephrine can safely treat moderate to severe allergic reactions (grade 2 or higher) that can happen during allergy skin tests, oral food or drug challenges, or allergy shots. It is for people who have had such reactions in the past or are at risk and are planning to undergo one of these procedures.
This trial tests whether a dose of dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) can help stop anaphylaxis symptoms from returning after the first episode. It focuses on children with mild to moderate anaphylaxis in the emergency department.
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.
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.
