FARE's Third Annual Clinical Development Day

More than 80 attendees gathered for FARE’s 3rd Annual Clinical Development Day, on the subject of “Addressing Unmet Needs in Food Allergy: Recent Advances, Ongoing Challenges and Prospects for the Future.” 

Attendees gathered to explore critical issues in the development of new food allergy therapeutics, diagnostics, and prevention strategies. Co-chaired by Stephen Tilles, MD, FARE’s Research and Strategic Innovation Advisor, and two FARE Clinical Network investigators, Aikaterini Anagnostou, MD, PhD, and Sarita Patil, MD, the interactive forum identified key barriers and potential solutions for a number of topical areas including early allergen introduction, disparities in access to infant-safe forms of allergen-containing foods for prevention, inequalities in access to allergist services for diagnosis and treatment, challenges to innovators attempting to develop diagnostics and therapeutics, uncertainty surrounding best practices for oral immunotherapy, and fragmented biorepositories.
