Consortium of Food Allergy Research
The Consortium of Food Allergy Research (CoFAR), funded by the National Institutes of Health, was established to conduct multicenter clinical trials and basic research to find the best possible treatment approaches for food allergy. CoFAR’s lead clinical center is Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. The other CoFAR institutions are located in Little Rock, Arkansas; Denver, Colorado; Baltimore, Maryland; and Durham, North Carolina. Below is a treatment study for peanut allergy that is currently seeking participants.
Peanut Sublingual Immunotherapy
The aim of this study is to develop a treatment for peanut allergy that may allow patients to become less allergic to peanuts and eventually be able to tolerate peanut protein. Participants must be between 12 and 40 years old. To find out more about this study, go to the study description on clinicaltrials.gov.
Therapeutic Effect of Chinese Herbal Medicine on Food Allergy (FAHF-2)
Researchers are recruiting patients for a study of a Chinese herbal formula that may reduce or eliminate the risks associated with a life-threatening food allergy. They are enrolling patients between the ages of 12 and 45 who are allergic to peanut, tree nuts, fish, or shellfish. To find out more about this study, go to the study description on clinicaltrials.gov.
An Interventional Study of Milk Allergy and Tolerance in Children
The aim of this study is to determine if children who are allergic to milk can increase their tolerance to milk. Participants must be between 4 and 10 years of age. To find out more about this study, go to the study description on clinicaltrials.gov.
Dose-Ranging Study of Oral Viscous Budesonide in Pediatrics With Eosinophilic Esophagitis
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of Oral Viscous Budesonide (OVB). Participants must be between the ages of 2 and 18 and have a history of eosinophilic esophagitis. For more information about this study, go to clinicaltrials.gov.
