NCT06765213
The goal of this prospective cohort pilot study is to learn about food allergens being passed on in breast milk to breast feeding infants. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Will major allergens for milk, egg, and peanut be passed on to infants in breast milk? * Will the infants become sensitized to and develop an allergy to the food allergens found in breast milk? * Will early introduction interventions prevent the development of these food allergies? Participants will * provide breast milk sample (s) for testing for food allergens * Infants will be tested for sensitization via skin prick and blood testing * Infants will be challenge with suspected foods to determine allergy and undergo early introduction procedures
NCT06260956
Peanut allergy is the most common cause of fatal and near-fatal food-allergic reactions and egg allergy is among the two most common causes of food-induced anaphylaxis. The proposed research will explore the development of sensitization to these food(s) in infants based on maternal consumption or avoidance during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Multiple clinical trials have demonstrated that early allergen introduction, feeding babies common food allergens before six months, decreases children's risk of developing a food allergy. Despite successful food allergy introduction trials showing that food allergies can be prevented, early introduction in the required amount can be challenging for parents. In some studies, less than 20% of parents introduce peanuts before their child is six months old, and few feed them regularly after introduction. Ready. Set. Food! is a direct-to-consumer product that offers a convenient supplement with a daily dose regimen that can be added to breastmilk, formula, or food to make early allergen introduction easy. The formulation includes cow's milk, egg, and peanut, representing the majority of childhood food allergies, and the protein levels are based on doses found to be effective in clinical trials. Over 200,000 infants have used Ready. Set. Food!. This study investigates the effectiveness of introducing common allergens to infants with the goal of preventing food allergies. The study will enroll 1,100 infants stratified by their risk of developing a food allergy who are assigned to either receive Ready. Set. Food! supplements or follow standard allergen introduction practices recommended by their pediatrician. The goal of this study is to assess how Ready. Set. Food! allergen introduction supplements improve the experience of parents introducing allergens, decrease healthcare costs related to food allergies, and decrease food allergy prevalence.

The FARE Patient Registry will serve as a prospective, observational food allergy reporting system that stores detailed health and other basic information about patients' real-world experiences with food allergies, to encourage open sharing of de-identified data and participation in clinical trials. The FARE Patient Registry intends to make and support scientific discoveries by enabling the food allergy community to participate directly in research.
NCT04604431
iREACH is a five-year NIH funded study aimed at assessing and improving pediatric clinician adherence to the 2017 NIAID Prevention of Peanut Allergy (PPA) Guidelines. iREACH has been developed as an electronic health record (EHR) integrated Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tool together with educational modules on the PPA guidelines to assist clinicians in implementing the 2017 NIAID PPA Guidelines. A practice-based, two-arm, cluster-randomized clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of iREACH in increasing pediatric clinician adherence to the PPA Guidelines and explore the end-goal of reducing peanut allergy incidence by age 2.5 years in the intervention vs control group. This study has the potential to: 1) provide evidence regarding the effectiveness of iREACH in promoting clinical processes and outcomes related to the PPA Guidelines, 2) provide important insight about practice-based implementation of PPA Guidelines by pediatric clinicians, allergists and caregivers, and 3) facilitate rapid, widespread implementation of PPA Guidelines and reduce peanut allergy incidence across the US.

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.
NCT04651829
Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is often evoked in infants, in particular in front of delayed symptoms such as rectal bleeding, atopic dermatitis, excessive crying, reflux, failure to thrive... But in case of non IgE-mediated CMPA, the only way to diagnose this allergy is to proceed to an elimination-reintroduction test over a period of 2 to 4 weeks, to improve symptoms first, and then provoke them. Even if the diagnosis is confirmed, we speculate that non IgE-mediated CMPA has a faster resolution than other CMPA. The first aim of this study is to estimate the prevalence of non IgE-mediated CMPA in a cohort of infants with delayed symptoms which could be relied to a CMPA. The second goal is evaluate the age of tolerance in non IgE-mediated CMPA with oral food challenge for milk ever 2 months after 4 months of age.
