This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in participants 1 to less than 56 years of age who are allergic to peanut and at least two other foods (including milk, egg, wheat, cashew, hazelnut, or walnut). While each participant may be allergic to more than two other foods, the primary endpoint/outcome in this study will only be assessed in peanut and two other foods for each participant. The primary objective of the study is to compare the ability to consume foods without dose-limiting symptoms during a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC), after treatment with either omalizumab or placebo for omalizumab.

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate whether skin barrier abnormalities occur in subjects with a food allergy, as determined by positive oral food challenge (OFC). The main question it aims to answer is whether these skin barrier abnormalities can be reversed by omalizumab. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare non-food allergic participants (who do not receive omalizumab) to see if they experience skin barrier abnormalities. All food allergic participants will receive 4 months of Omalizumab treatment as well as two Oral Food Challenges. Participants will all undergo skin barrier assessments.

This study is researching an experimental drug called linvoseltamab when combined with another drug called dupilumab. The study is focused on patients who have IgE-mediated food allergy. If the patient has an allergy, the immune system overreacts to an allergen (eg, certain foods such as peanuts, milk, shellfish) by producing antibodies called IgE. IgE antibodies are released by cells such as plasma cells. These antibodies and allergens bind to other cells that release chemicals, causing an allergic reaction. The aim of the study is to see how safe and tolerable linvoseltamab is when combined with dupilumab. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking the study drugs * Whether linvoseltamab when combined with dupilumab has an effect on other types of antibodies in the blood at different times * How much study drug(s) is in the blood at different times

This study will explore potential links between atopic dermatitis and food allergy. This information will be useful to determine atopic dermatitis and food allergy share unique biochemical or genetic identifiers useful for diagnosing and treatments in the future. This is a mechanistic study consisting of obtaining blood and skin samples from participants at baseline. Individuals may also undergo a clinically indicated oral food challenge and have blood and skin samples collected at various times during the oral food challenge. This study will create a molecular map of the pathology of atopic dermatitis and food allergy. This information will be deployed to evaluate the hypothesis that atopic dermatitis and food allergy share unique genetic transcriptional signals in which the study team can then further analyze pathological pathways and cell types.

Participants with IBS are skin patch tested (no needles) to 80 different foods and food additives, compounded for patch testing, in search of food allergies. The testing requires 3 office visits within a 4 or 5 day period. The patches are taped to the back at Visit #. At Visit #2 48 hours later, the patches are removed from the skin and the outside border of each patch is marked with a felt tip marker. At Visit #3 (final visit) 1 or 2 days later, the patch test reading is performed by the doctor-investigator. An allergy is identified as a small red mark where the food was in contact with the skin for 48 hours. Those participants found to have food allergies are then placed on an avoidance diet (no calorie restriction) for 16 weeks where they either avoid eating the food(s) to which they are allergic (the \"true\" avoidance diet) or food(s) to which the testing did not show an allergy (this is called the \"sham\" avoidance diet). There is a 50/50 chance of going on either avoidance diet. The avoidance diet is assigned in such a way that neither the participant or the doctor-investigator knows which diet is being followed. After the 16 weeks, the participants answers a brief online questionnaire that asks about the IBS symptoms while following the avoidance diet. After the 16 week avoidance diet and final questionnaire are completed, those participants who were on the sham diet will be told of their true food allergies which they may try avoiding on their own.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD), also called eczema, makes skin dry, red, and itchy. People with AD are more likely to get a food allergy than people without AD. But some food allergy tests are not always accurate in people with AD. Researchers want to study if people are truly allergic to milk and/or peanuts. Objectives: To improve the ways doctors test for food allergy in people with AD. Eligibility: People ages 3 21 who have had AD; have a high total IgE level (an allergic antibody); might have a milk and/or peanut allergy; and are currently enrolled in another NIH study Design: Participants will be screened under another protocol. Participants will have a physical exam, blood tests, and medical history. Participants will breathe into a plastic device that measures lung strength. Participants may get a small plastic tube inserted in their arm. Participants who have not had an allergic reaction to food in the past 3 years will do 1 or more oral food challenge (OFCs) depending on their allergies. They will eat a little bit of the food they might be allergic to. They will be watched for a reaction. If they have one, they will know for sure they are allergic. They may keep eating bigger portions of the food until they either have a reaction or finish all the food. In some OFCs, participants will get a placebo food. OFCs will last a few hours or 2 days. Participants will repeat all tests at each OFC. Participation can last up to 12 months. ...

Omalizumab for Food Allergy

Baltimore, Maryland
In this project, the investigators would like to learn if 24 weeks (about 5 and a half months) of omalizumab injections, given every 2 weeks, will be safe and effective for food allergic people who have a total immunoglobulin E (IgE) above the current FDA approved dosing regimen enabling a person to increase tolerance to the food(s) that the person is allergic to. The investigators would also like to learn if participants who demonstrate increased tolerance to food after 24 weeks of omalizumab, can introduce the food into the diet utilizing an additional 8 weeks (about 2 months) of twice weekly omalizumab injections.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Food Allergy clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Food Allergy clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Food Allergy trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Food Allergy is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Food Allergy medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Food Allergy clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added Maternal Diet for Preventing Food Allergies, Omalizumab for Food Allergy and Oral Food Challenge for Food Intolerance to the Power online platform.
