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 study tracks new cases of fish allergy in children and teens up to 17 years old. If your child has had their first allergic reaction to fish and a test shows they are allergic, they may be able to join.
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.
This study aims to identify markers in the blood that could help predict how severe a peanut allergy reaction might be. If you qualify, your child will undergo a supervised peanut challenge to see how their body responds.
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.
This study checks whether a new blood test can measure allergy-related immune signals (IgE) in people with known or suspected allergies. If it works well, it could help doctors diagnose and track IgE allergies more easily.
