Multi-nut oral immunotherapy for children with peanut and tree nut allergies
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 12 years old.
- Your child must have a confirmed allergy to at least two of these nuts: peanut, cashew, walnut, hazelnut, or almond.
- An allergy test (skin prick or blood test) must show a positive reaction to those nuts.
- A food challenge (eating the nut under medical supervision) must show a reaction, but not too mild or too severe.
- Your child cannot have severe or poorly controlled asthma, or certain other medical conditions.
- Your child cannot be taking certain medications (like beta-blockers) or have had oral immunotherapy before.

This study tests whether a treatment program can help children and teenagers with peanut allergies develop tolerance to peanuts over time. The goal is to reduce the risk of serious allergic reactions if they accidentally eat peanuts.
This trial tests a slow, multi-food oral immunotherapy (giving small amounts of several foods) in young children with food allergies. It aims to see if this treatment can help children safely eat more foods without allergic reactions.
This study checks on children and young people 5 to 15 years after they finished an 18-month oral immunotherapy treatment for peanut, egg, or milk allergy. It helps researchers understand how their allergies and health are doing over the long term.
This study watches how milk and egg allergies change naturally over time or after oral immunotherapy (OIT) in children. It helps researchers understand how the immune system adapts, aiming to improve treatment for food allergies.
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 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.
