NCT ID: NCT06300697 Recruiting - Healthy Clinical Trials

Michigan Food and Atopic Dermatitis (M-FAD) Program - Molecular Analytics Project

Start date: March 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study will explore potential links between atopic dermatitis and food allergy. This information will be useful to determine atopic dermatitis and food allergy share unique biochemical or genetic identifiers useful for diagnosing and treatments in the future. This is a mechanistic study consisting of obtaining blood and skin samples from participants at baseline. Individuals may also undergo a clinically indicated oral food challenge and have blood and skin samples collected at various times during the oral food challenge. This study will create a molecular map of the pathology of atopic dermatitis and food allergy. This information will be deployed to evaluate the hypothesis that atopic dermatitis and food allergy share unique genetic transcriptional signals in which the study team can then further analyze pathological pathways and cell types.

NCT ID: NCT06273605 Not yet recruiting - Food Allergy Clinical Trials

The Egg Up Trial - Testing a New Treatment Pathway for Infants With Newly Diagnosed Egg Allergy

Start date: April 30, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of a change in management approach for infants with newly diagnosed egg allergy. Infants with newly diagnosed egg allergy will have egg introduced via a gradual and graded home based approach known as an "egg ladder" supervised by a dietitian. The main questions this study aims to answer are how safe and feasible are home-based dietitian-led "egg ladders" as a treatment pathway to achieve tolerance of egg for newly diagnosed infants with egg allergy.

NCT ID: NCT06221540 Completed - Food Allergy Clinical Trials

The Impact of an Evidence-based Myth-busting Information Intervention on Maternal Food Allergy Related Quality of Life, Anxiety and Self-efficacy

Start date: May 21, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Children with Food Allergy (FA) are at risk of life threatening reactions. They must carry an emergency medicine kit containing adrenaline auto-injector devices for the immediate treatment of anaphylaxis. Much research has documented the adverse impact of childhood FA on the food allergy related quality of life (FQoL) of the Carer and the family, along with reported higher levels of anxiety and stress. These adverse impacts are largely driven by the need for Carers to always be "emergency ready". Mothers of food allergic children report higher levels of anxiety compared to the rest of the family, possibly due to mothers commonly being the primary care givers responsible for the preparation of meals, childcare etc. Carers of newly diagnosed food allergic children, looking for more information about their child's FA are at risk of exposure to myths and misinformation about food allergy. These falsehoods are likely to increase further, Carers Food Allergy-related anxiety. The investigators wish to survey the frequency with which common myths on FA are believed among mothers prior to their attendance at an allergy clinic. They wish to understand the impact of "myth-busting" information on maternal anxiety or self-efficacy when provided to mothers while awaiting a specialist appointment. The research question is to determine if the online educational session is effective at decreasing anxiety and improving quality of life in Carers of FA children awaiting a specialist appointment.

NCT ID: NCT06192914 Recruiting - Allergy Clinical Trials

EPAP, Interviewstudy

Start date: March 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

The goal of this observational study is to learn about repetitive anaphylactic reactions in food allergic patients and to compare the frequency of repetitive reactions between different elicitors in food allergic patients. The main question it aims to answer are: • Is there an elicitor specific difference in the occurrence of anaphylactic reactions once the elicitor has been identified and the patient received counselling about its avoidance? Participants will answer questionnaires via a link they will receive via e-mail at baseline and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after inclusion in the study.

NCT ID: NCT06183398 Not yet recruiting - Food Allergy Clinical Trials

Analysis of the Prevalence of Sensitization to Plants Containing Gibberellins Using Realistic Skin Prick Tests

GIBBERELLINS
Start date: February 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Gibberellin-related proteins (GRPs) are proteins contained in both pollens and vegetables and are associated with an increased risk of severe food allergy reactions. The best characterized one the only one for which a specific IgE (Immunoglobulin E) may be dosed in current clinical practice is Pru p 7, an allergen contained in peaches (Prunus persica). Sensitization to GRPs seems to be greater in areas with high exposure to pollens of the Cupressaceae family (as in the Montpellier region in Southern France); a subtype of Cupressaceae pollinosis, characterized by sensitization to Pru p 7 has been shown to be responsible for severe peach allergies. To date, there has been no real analysis of the prevalence of sensitization to GRPs, or of possible cross-sensitization between plants and foods containing GRPs. Main food containing GRPs with a high level of homology with Pru p 7 include apples (Malus domestica, 97.3%), sesame (Sesamum indicum, 91.9%), carrots (Daucus carota subsp. Sativus, 88.9%), lemons and oranges (different species, with a homology of 87.3%). If investigators consider that sensitization to GRPs could be associated with severe allergic hypersensitivity reactions, it is important to detect the prevalence of sensitization to these allergens and to find sensitization profiles for these patients in order to gain a better understanding of this type of allergy and offer a more appropriate and preventive management to allergic patients. This remains today a major challenge for the allergy community in the Mediterranean region. This study aims to investigate the rate of sensitization to peach and 5 other allergens containing gibberellins, chosen on the basis of their homology with Pru p 7 (the gibberellin from Prunus persica): carrot, lemon, orange, apple and sesame.

Quality of Life in Food Allergy: Validation of Three Mini-questionnaires

EVAALIM
Start date: November 5, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The evaluation of the quality of life (QOL) in food allergy (AA) is difficult due to the lack of a currently validated questionnaire. There are only a few tools available to assess the impact of nutritional care on the QOL of the allergic patient . Available questionnaires are poorly adapted to studies dealing with large cohorts where functionality and ease of use are determining factors. The aim of this work will be to develop and validate QOL questionnaires for AA, short and easy to use, also integrating the theme of collective catering in order to assess the evolution of QOL in patients with food allergy. The target population of the questionnaires will be: i) the parents of allergic children 0 to 17 years (15 questions) ii) allergic children aged 8 to 17 years (13 questions) iii) Adults over 18 (14 questions) After receiving an information note, eligible patients or their parents will complete the questionnaires. A total of 200 patients will be recruited for each questionnaire. A statistical evaluation will be carried out using 200 questionnaires for each targeted population in order to validate the psychometric properties of the questionnaire as well as investigate the degree of correlation between the scores of the mini-questionnaire and those obtained using the Europrevall reference questionnaire.

NCT ID: NCT06103656 Completed - Food Allergy Clinical Trials

E-B-FAHF-2, Multi OIT and Xolair for Food Allergy

FAHF-2
Start date: August 20, 2016
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is testing the use of Enhanced-Butanol purified-Food Allergy Herbal Formula-2 (E-B-FAHF-2) Chinese herbal therapy in combination with multi-food oral immunotherapy (OIT) and Xolair® (Omalizumab) to help children and adults who are allergic to foods be able to safely tolerate food allergens. Specifically in this protocol, the food allergens are milk, egg, peanut, almond, cashew, hazelnut, walnut, sesame, and/or wheat. Omalizumab is considered an investigational drug for the treatment of food allergies in children and adults. Investigational means it has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in the U.S. The researchers hope to learn whether the addition of Chinese herbal therapy (E-B-FAHF-2) can improve the outcome of sustained unresponsiveness (which is the ability to consume a food allergen and pass an oral food challenge after being off treatment for 3 months) as compared to placebo (i.e. subjects with OIT/Omalizumab + herbal vs. OIT/Omalizumab + placebo), and will help adults and children be able to safely ingest the foods they are allergic to.

NCT ID: NCT06097572 Enrolling by invitation - Food Allergy Clinical Trials

Improved Diagnostics in Food Allergy Study

ID-in-FA
Start date: October 18, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators will conduct low-dose intranasal allergen challenges on children and young people with an indeterminate diagnosis of food allergy to cow's milk or peanut. Blood samples will also be taken, for conventional blood allergy diagnostics (allergy-specific Immunoglobulin E) and mast cell activation test (MAT). The data will be used to determine the diagnostic accuracy of two complementary, novel approaches to diagnose food allergy, in a representative clinical cohort.
