Food Allergy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Randomised Controlled Multicentre Trial on the Clinical Impact of the Basophil Activation Test and the Mast Cell Activation Test as Food Allergy Biomarkers in Children and Young People
The BAT Impact study is a prospective multicentre study in the UK using a biomarker-led study design to compare the incidence of adverse events (defined as allergic reactions during oral food challenges) in a randomized-controlled trial. Patients will either follow the standard-of-care (i.e. an oral food challenge in case of equivocal SPT/sIgE) or follow a basophil activation test (BAT)/mast cell activation test (MAT)-based strategy, i.e. patients with a positive BAT or MAT are dispensed of an oral food challenge (OFC) and patients with a negative BAT/MAT undergo an OFC.
Children aged 6 months to 15 years requiring an oral food challenge to one of the study foods (milk, egg, peanut, sesame or cashew nut) will be invited to participate in the study. Eleven centres across the UK will be recruiting participants and perforning clinical procedures, such as skin prick testing and oral food challenges (OFC), as per standard clinical care. Participants will be randomised 4:5 to either have the standard-of-care, i.e. oral food challenge to the suspected food, or take BAT (MAT if BAT inconclusive) into account to decide whether or not OFC will be required: if BAT/MAT is positive, food allergy will be confirmed without doing OFC; if BAT/MAT is negative, participants in the biomarker arm will undergo OFC. The primary outcome is the proportion of positive OFC in the biomarker arm compared with the standard-of-care arm. Secondary outcomes are: number of OFC, quality of life, anxiety and costs associated with the diagnostic work-up. ;
