Shrimp allergy test for children
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new blood test to confirm shrimp allergy in children. It aims to improve diagnosis so that kids with true allergy get the right care and others can safely eat shrimp.

This trial tests a new medication called RPT904 in people with IgE-mediated food allergies to foods like peanut, milk, egg, cashew, or walnut. The goal is to see if it reduces allergic reactions when you eat a small amount of the food.
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.
