Protocols for Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for the main food allergens have been recently incorporated in clinical practice for food allergies and their clinical benefits have been acknowledged in European and Canadian official guidelines. There has been some reluctance in both clinicians and patients to implement these therapies, primarily because of the risk of allergic reactions during the desensitization process. This study will investigate if protocols using low doses of a food allergen or processed versions of the allergen can be both effective in conferring desensitization while inducing fewer allergic symptoms during the desensitization process.
This is a phase II randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial that aims at evaluating the safety and tolerability of oral encapsulated fecal microbial transplantation therapy (MTT) in peanut allergic patients. In this research the investigators would like to learn more about ways to treat peanut allergies. The primary objective is to evaluate whether MTT with antibiotic pretreatment can increase the threshold of peanut reactivity during a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge from <=100 mg peanut protein to 300 mg after 28 days of MTT /placebo therapy and 4 months post therapy initiation.
Peanut and nut allergy can be life threatening. Some patients have very low threshold levels (i.e. the amounts of peanut and nuts to which the patients react), others react to higher doses. The reasons for these differences in threshold are not well understood. Patients with peanut and nut allergy often suffer from other allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis, hay fever and asthma). A disturbed gut microbiota composition and an increased gut permeability may explain the development of allergic disease. We hypothesize that increased gut permeability is related to low threshold levels to peanuts or nuts. In addition, as it is known that nutrition can influence our gut permeability, we also hypothesize that a healthful immune-supportive diet restores gut permeability and alleviates symptoms. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to study in peanut and nut allergic children: 1. the relationship between gut permeability and threshold levels to peanut or nuts; 2. the effect of an immune-supportive diet on gut permeability, gut microbiome composition, coexisting allergic symptoms and quality of life
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.
The overall aims of this study are to demonstrate that treatment with PVX108 immunotherapy has an acceptable safety profile and is effective for reducing clinical reactivity to peanut protein in children and adolescents with peanut allergy.
Food allergy affects 1 in 30 children, and is the commonest trigger for life-threatening reactions (anaphylaxis) in this age group. It is a major public health issue, with practical implications for industry, education and healthcare systems. Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is an emerging treatment option, where small, increasing doses of a food allergen are used to cause "desensitisation", so food-allergic individuals no longer have symptoms when exposed to the trigger food. However, frequent allergic reactions during OIT (including anaphylaxis) are common, and can lead to patients having to stop treatment. In addition, food-allergic children usually dislike the taste of the food they are allergic too, which affects compliance and treatment success. There is a lack of longer-term data to inform cost-effectiveness analyses for OIT. The NATASHA study will recruit young people from age 6+ years with IgE-mediated peanut allergy, and young people aged 3+ years with IgE-mediated allergy to cow's milk, who will undergo oral immunotherapy for these allergens using real-world foods (taken carefully according to a standardised protocol under medical supervision). In addition to assessing efficacy and safety outcomes, we will also collect longer-term data to evaluate cost-effectiveness in the UK setting.
This phase I clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VLP Peanut in healthy subjects and in subjects with peanut allergy (PA). This clinical trial will evaluate the immunotoxicity profile of VLP Peanut in healthy subjects and assess the immunotoxicity profile and the degree of reactogenicity (allergenicity) in subjects with PA. This clinical trial will also explore preliminary proof of efficacy of VLP Peanut in subjects with PA.
This clinical research study investigates the safety and tolerability of a peanut SLIT-tablet.
This study is a continuation of a clinical trial NCT044155930 comparing the efficacy and safety of oral immunotherapy (OIT) with low or high doses of peanut protein (150 or 300 mg, respectively) and will involve patients who have accomplished their per-protocol participation in that trial. The aim of current study is to assess a sustained unresponsiveness (SU) to allergen protein after at least 8 months of previously assigned high- or low-dose peanut OIT, followed by 4-week-allergen avoidance, and verified by an open oral food challenge (OOFC).
