INhaled Salbutamol vs Placebo for the Treatment of Acute IgE-mediated Abdominal Pain From Allergic Food REactions
The goal of this study is to assess the efficacy of inhaled salbutamol to treat abdominal pain during food allergic reactions. Patients experiencing abominal pain as a result of a food allergic reaction during a food challenge in the allergy clinic will be invited to participate to the study. They will receive either 8 puffs of salbutamol (asthma inhaler) or 8 puffs of a placebo inhaler. The abdominal pain will then be followed using a numeric scale to see if patients receiving the medication experienced a faster improvement compared to those receiving the placebo.

Investigating Modified Protocols of Oral Immunotherapy to Validate Efficacy and Safety
Protocols for Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for the main food allergens have been recently incorporated in clinical practice for food allergies and their clinical benefits have been acknowledged in European and Canadian official guidelines. There has been some reluctance in both clinicians and patients to implement these therapies, primarily because of the risk of allergic reactions during the desensitization process. This study will investigate if protocols using low doses of a food allergen or processed versions of the allergen can be both effective in conferring desensitization while inducing fewer allergic symptoms during the desensitization process.

JAK Inhibition in Food Allergy
This study will assess the role for an oral targeted medication, abrocitinib, as a new treatment option for food allergy patients that would avoid injections. Abrocitinib, which has successfully completed phase three trials for atopic dermatitis, could serve as a single therapy for two conditions in many patients with multiple atopic conditions.

Michigan Food and Atopic Dermatitis (M-FAD) Program - Molecular Analytics Project
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...

Mucosal IgE to Improve Diagnosis of Food Allergy and Food Hypersensitivity
Aim of the study is to improve the diagnosis of food allergy and hypersensitivity. Intestinal homogenates will be used to determine total IgE, specific IgE, tryptase, histamine and inflammation parameters (IFNgamma, TNFalpha). These data will be correlated with serum values and disease status. In addition, organoids from duodenal tissue will be isolated and cultured in vitro and stimulated with the major food allergens. The gene and protein expression will be checked to identify relevant biomarkers.

National, Multicenter, Retrospective, Prospective Study to Evaluate Pediatric Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Disorders
Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are a heterogeneous group of emerging chronic inflammatory diseases that may affect different gastrointestinal (GI) tracts. Based on the anatomical site involved, EGIDs are distinguished into eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and non-esophageal forms, which are subdivided into eosinophilic gastritis (EoG), gastroenteritis (EoGE), and colitis (EoC). EoE is considered the prototype of EGIDs. Since the first description of a case series of patients with EoE, fundamental scientific advances have been achieved, culminating in the redaction of international diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines. In contrast to EoE, non-esophageal forms of...

Natural History and Genetics of Food Allergy and Related Conditions
Background: - About 15 million Americans have a food allergy. Because there are no cures or effective prevention or treatment for food allergies, researchers want to learn more about them. Objective: - To learn more about the causes and effects of food allergy and related conditions. Eligibility: - People ages 2 99 who have food allergy and/or a related genetic or other condition - Their relatives - Healthy relatives and volunteers Design: - Participants will have at least 3 visits over 1 2 years, and then once a year for up to 12 years. Each may last a day or longer. - Participants will be screened with medical history,...
