Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 6 months to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participants who underwent immunotherapy in clinical trial at the Sean N. Parker Center

Who may be able to join

  • Patients ages 6 months through 70 years who have previously undergone a food immunotherapy protocol only at our center.

Who cannot join

  • None. However, if a participant becomes pregnant, their clinic visit may be postponed until after delivery and/or lactation period. These subject can postpone visits for one year and choose to skip visits during pregnancy and another year after (if breastfeeding).

About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical usefulness of assessing specific human allergy antibodies and other immunologic parameters associated with the diagnosis, evolution, and management of allergic disease.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to strengthen our ability to understand the long-term effects of food immunotherapy on the immune system and how it may induce tolerance to foods that participants were once allergic to. Investigators hope to determine tools and immunologic parameters that can help predict sustained desensitization and tolerance to food allergens following food immunotherapy. By evaluating the in-depth characteristics of allergy antibody populations and other immunologic parameters and comparing them to clinical disease, the investigators may uncover a more sound way to diagnose, follow and treat food allergic disease over time. Investigators will follow up with participants who underwent immunotherapy to food allergens as volunteers in clinical trials at the Sean N. Parker Center and assess whether they experience sustained desensitization to these foods in the long-term. Investigators will investigate the properties of the participants' immune cells and how they are affected over time by the ingestion of these food allergens. Investigators will follow the significance of different dosing regimens in terms of achieving tolerance. Differences in immune cell characteristics and other biological parameters may help predict the nature of a participant's tolerance to the food allergens and may help in the development of tools to determine permanent tolerance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Food Allergy, run by Stanford University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Immunological markers (time frame: February 2027). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03234764, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2018.
