Multi-Food Oral Immunotherapy for Peanut and Tree Nuts
Poland39 participantsStarted 2026-09
Plain-language summary
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multi-food oral immunotherapy (multi-OIT) using peanut and tree nuts proteins in children with confirmed food allergy to at least two allergens. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either multi-OIT or standard management consisting of an elimination diet. The primary objective is to evaluate immunotherapy efficacy defined as achieving tolerance to a cumulative dose of 4444 mg of protein during an oral food challenge (OFC-2) for at least one allergen that elicited a reaction during baseline challenge (OFC-1), compared with the control group. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of participants tolerating multiple allergens at the target cumulative dose; the incidence, type, and severity of adverse events classified according to the World Allergy Organization (WAO) grading system; changes in immunological parameters, including allergen-specific IgE and IgG4 levels; changes in skin prick test responses; changes in the quality of life of patients and their families.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age 1-12 years;
* Confirmed allergy to at least two allergens included in the protocol, i.e., peanut and/or tree nuts: cashew, walnut, hazelnut, and almond;
* Positive skin prick test (SPT) (wheal diameter ≥ 3 mm) and/or specific IgE (sIgE) level \> 0.35 kUA/L for at least two of the analyzed allergens;
* Positive OFC-1 (oral food challenge) of grade I-IV according to the WAO classification for at least two allergens, with a positive reaction occurring after administration of a dose ≥ 3 mg and ≤ 3000 mg of allergen protein;
* Participants may be enrolled based on the abbreviated procedure as outlined in the study description;
* Written informed consent obtained from a legal guardian, and, where applicable, assent from the child in accordance with their age and level of maturity;
* Good prognosis for compliance and cooperation of the patient and their caregivers.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Allergic reaction at the lowest challenge dose of 1 mg of allergen protein for any allergen, or no allergic reaction after administration of the maximum dose of 3000 mg of allergen protein for at least four of the analyzed allergens;
* History of anaphylaxis with a grade V reaction according to the WAO classification, either during an oral food challenge or in the patient's medical history;
* Severe asthma;
* Poorly controlled asthma according to GINA 2025 (lack of symptom control and/or ≥2 exacerbations requiring systemic glucocorticoids or ≥1 exacerbation requiring hosp…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
