Skin care study to prevent allergies in newborns
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study is testing whether special skin care routines for newborns can help prevent allergies and asthma later in life. It may be a good fit if your baby has allergy risk factors, like having a parent or sibling with allergies, asthma, or eczema.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born full-term (after 37 weeks) and be generally healthy, without serious birth defects or severe infections.
- Your baby must have at least one risk factor for allergies, such as being an only child, or having a parent or sibling with food allergies, hay fever, asthma, or eczema.
- The mother must not have certain infections that could be passed to the baby during pregnancy (like hepatitis B or HIV).
- You must be able to follow the study plan, which may include home visits and using special skin care products.
- Your baby cannot be enrolled in another research study at the same time.
- You must have phone, internet, or email access, and plan to stay in the province for at least one year.

This study looks at whether eating or avoiding peanuts and eggs during pregnancy can affect the baby's risk of allergies. You and your baby will be followed for a year after birth.
This study tests a special baby formula (partially broken-down protein with added prebiotics and probiotics) to see if it helps strengthen babies' skin barrier and reduce allergy risk. It's designed for newborns who have a family history of allergies.
This study follows newborns for two years to see how their immune system develops, especially if they have a family history of eczema, asthma, or hay fever. Researchers want to learn if certain immune markers appear early in babies who later develop eczema.
This study looks at whether restoring a newborn’s gut bacteria (microbiome) can improve early health. Babies are treated based on the birth conditions, especially whether delivery was vaginal or by C-section.
This study tests whether introducing common allergenic foods early and continuing them for six months can help prevent food allergies in infants. It is for babies who have not yet started these foods.
This study looks at how common allergens and everyday toxins from things like cleaning products affect your skin, gut, and airways. It may help find ways to prevent or manage allergies and related health issues.
