Cashew allergy treatment to help children build tolerance
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way of giving cashew protein to young children with cashew allergy, gradually increasing the amount to help their bodies stop reacting. The goal is to help your child safely build tolerance to cashew so they may be able to eat it in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 5 years old.
- Your child must weigh more than 7 kilograms (about 15.5 pounds).
- Your child must have a confirmed cashew allergy, proven by a food challenge test and a positive skin or blood test.
- You must be able to understand and sign a consent form to allow your child to participate.
- Your child must not have had a very severe allergic reaction to cashew in the past (like breathing problems or needing multiple emergency injections).
- Your child must not have severe, persistent asthma or other major medical conditions that increase allergy risk.

This trial tests whether a specially boiled cashew nut can help children with cashew allergy eat cashews without a reaction. It is for children ages 2 to 17 with a confirmed cashew allergy, and it avoids other serious health conditions.
This study checks if you can stay allergy-free to cashew nuts after completing immunotherapy. It aims to see if your immune system can handle cashew protein without reacting.
This study tests a treatment that slowly builds tolerance to multiple nut allergens (peanut and tree nuts) in children with allergies. It aims to reduce the risk of severe reactions from accidental exposure.
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 whether giving very small amounts of cashew protein (like a food immunotherapy) can help children and teens with cashew allergy become less allergic. If it works, it might lower the risk of severe reactions.
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.
