Filter by:Thresholds In food allergy evaluaTion And predictioN, a prospective, observational registry. The aim is to quantify food allergy thresholds in Canada and their clinical predictors.
The aim of the study is to assess the prevalence of peanut, tree nuts, and sesame allergy in Polish children at high risk of food allergy. Additionally, the timing of the development of peanut, tree nuts and sesame allergy in the first three years of life in a high-risk population will be assessed.
Tree nut immunotherapy Route Assessment and DEvelopment (TRADE) is a randomized controlled trial that evaluates the efficacy and safety of sublingual immunotherapy and lower, more tolerable, doses of oral immunotherapy than currently in use.
This study aims to compare the safety and the compliance to different procedures (A: at home or B: at the hospital) for introducing tree nuts into the diet of patients with Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy to the aforementioned nuts. In parallel, the effectiveness of tree nuts' introduction in respect to tolerance induction compared to the standard care (strict avoidance of tree nuts) will be evaluated.
This protocol will help better define whether patients with peanut and/or tree nut food allergy can tolerate traces in products with precautionary allergen labelling.
this study evaluates whether tolerance to peanuts and tree nuts can be induced in patients through a process of oral immunotherapy. Participants will be randomized into groups receiving oral immunotherapy and a control group that will receive no intervention
Peanut allergy (PA) has been well studied and its prevalence was estimated up to 1.3% in Europe. Tree nut (TN) allergy and PA are clinically similar and often coexist, TN allergy prevalence ranged from 0.05 to 4.9 %. TN allergy is longlasting and nearly all TN have been associated with fatal allergic reactions . Other legumes or TN also contain seed storage protein orthologs of the globulins (Ara h1, Ara h 3) and 2S albumins (Ara h 2) of peanut, susceptible to provoke allergic reactions, but cross-reactivity to TN and other legumes in PA patients could also appear through primarily sensitization. These possible IgE-binding cross-reactions bring to recommend the avoidance of TN and other legumes which have never been eaten in PA children. In this context, diagnosis work-up of relevant cross-allergy versus asymptomatic cross-sensitization will impact directly children's health-related quality of life (HRQL). When physicians suspect food allergy, many parameters have to be considered, such as clinical background, clinical history, type of symptoms related to the suspected food and cross-allergy to other foods. Then, to objectively confirm a food allergy and to assess its severity (related to the threshold reactive dose and symptoms), an oral food challenge (OFC) is demanded, and double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) is considered as "the gold standard". Although OFC are more and more available in the diagnosis of PA, the assessment of cross-allergy to every single allergenic TN and legumes requires full allergy work-up and often many years of follow-up. Few studies investigated cross-allergy to TN and other legume, with rates of cross-allergy to TN between 28% and 50%. However, targeting patients with severe or cross-allergic phenotypes would greatly assist the allergist in management and follow-up of PA patients (i.e., planning OFC to cross-reactive food). Our main objective is to identify different disease phenotypes of PA children with cluster analysis. This statistical approach has never been performed to identify cross-allergic phenotypes. We also will describe cross-allergy in PA and will identify possible risk factors for cross-allergy to TN and other legumes in PA children.
The purpose of this study is to determine if walnut oral immunotherapy can be used in participants allergic to tree nuts to reduce tree nut allergy and induce changes in the participant's immune system.
