Filter by:The purpose of the study is to determine how a type of treatment for peanut allergy known as oral desensitization works in the immune system. Objectives 1. To determine whether premedication with desloratidine and ranitidine results in fewer side effects during desensitization procedure. 2. To assess quality of life in peanut allergic subjects before and after desensitization. 3. To compare serum metabolites in peanut allergic and non peanut allergic subjects.
This is a proof of concept study to determine the safety and allergenicity of hypoallergenic peanut product extract as compared to standard peanut extract in an adult population with known peanut allergy. This will be assessed by epicutaneous skin prick testing. The hypothesis is that subjects with previously diagnosed peanut allergy will have less epicutaneous reactions to the hypoallergenic peanut product extract.
The goal of this study will be to increase the reaction threshold (desensitization) of peanut allergic children using peanut sublingual immunotherapy and to determine if the nonreactive state of the immune system persists after treatment has been discontinued (tolerance).
Peanut allergy is one of the most serious food allergies because of its life long persistence, and the potential for severe allergic reactions. Effective oral immunotherapy would benefit patients by reducing the likelihood that they will have life-threatening accidental allergic reactions. This research study is being done to develop an effective oral immunotherapy treatment for patients with peanut allergy.
This is a pilot feasibility study, using Xolair pretreatment for oral peanut desensitization.
Open pilot study of peanut oral immunotherapy in 22 children with peanut allergy
This study aims at showing that Epicutaneous Immunotherapy with peanut proteins is safe and efficacious for desensitizing children with peanut allergy.
The purpose of this phase 1b study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of repeated epicutaneous applications of peanut proteins using a patch delivery system (Viaskin device) in peanut allergic subjects.
The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of a sublingual (under the tongue) immunotherapy (SLIT) dosing regimen and an oral immunotherapy (OIT) regimen in inducing desensitization and long term tolerance in children with persistent peanut allergy.
The purpose of this study is to find out if there is a way to treat children with peanut allergy to help lower the risk of severe allergic reactions and also cause them to lose their allergy to peanuts and to understand what happens to their immune systems when they have viral infections while on therapy. The approach we will use to treat peanut allergy in this study is a process called desensitization. We think that children with a peanut allergy receiving peanut oral immunotherapy will be able to eat more peanuts without having a reaction by the end of the study than they could eat at the beginning. We also think that we will be able to measure changes in their immune system and their immune system's response to viruses while they are on therapy.
