Food challenge after omalizumab for food allergy
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study gives a few doses of omalizumab (a medicine that blocks allergic reactions) and then does a food challenge to see if the patient can eat the food safely. It is for people who have already been prescribed this medicine for food allergy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The patient must be between 1 and 30 years old.
- They must have a confirmed allergy to milk, egg, wheat, peanut, cashew, or walnut.
- They must have had a positive food challenge (eating the food in a clinic) with symptoms at a low dose.
- They must be prescribed omalizumab (a medication for allergies) by a Johns Hopkins doctor.
- They must not have had other allergy treatments like oral immunotherapy in the past 6 months.
- Their insurance must approve the use of omalizumab.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests if omalizumab (a drug that blocks allergy reactions) can help people with multiple food allergies. You might qualify if you have severe allergies to at least two foods like peanut, tree nuts, egg, or milk.
This trial tests if omalizumab (Xolair) can improve skin reactions in people with food allergies. It may help reduce allergic symptoms triggered by foods like peanut, egg, or milk.
This trial studies an oral immunotherapy approach, where children take tiny, controlled amounts of certain allergy-causing foods to build tolerance. It may help reduce allergic reactions, but only if kids meet safety and monitoring requirements.
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 tests whether a gradual 'milk ladder' approach (slowly introducing milk in increasing amounts) is safe and effective for children with cow's milk allergy. It may help your child eventually tolerate milk.
This study looks at people with suspected or known food allergies to find out how much of a food it takes to cause a reaction. It uses an oral food challenge (eating the food under medical supervision) to predict your personal threshold.
