Treatment of Severe Peanut Allergy With Xolair (Omalizumab) and Oral Immunotherapy
Severe peanut allergy is different from other allergic reactions because it can lead to fatal reactions and is an invisible disability. There is no cure today. The purpose of this study is to treat children and adolescents with severe peanut allergy with oral immunotherapy with peanuts under the protection of anti-IgE (immunoglobulin E) antibodies (omalizumab), and thereby inducing tolerance to peanuts. The treatment will be monitored by basophil cell stimulation (CD-sens).

Use of Dexamethasone in Prevention of the Second Phase or a Biphasic Reaction of Anaphylaxis
Anaphylaxis is an acute serious allergic reaction, with multi-organ system manifestations caused by the release of chemical mediators and it is potentially fatal [1, 2]. Between 5% and 14% of patients may experience a recurrence of anaphylaxis 8-12 hours after the initial presentation, called biphasic (late-phase) [14]. The mainstay of treatment for children experiencing anaphylaxis remains adrenaline and H1-antihistamines. Corticosteroids are not life-saving and do not have an immediate effect on the symptoms of anaphylaxis but may help reduce or prevent a biphasic "late phase" reaction (24.26). The aim of this study is to compare...

Use of Esophageal String Test to Understand Symptoms, Inflammation, and Function in Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Presently, the only method available to monitor disease activity in Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is endoscopy with pathological review of biopsies. The overall goal of this study is to determine the ability of the Esophageal String Test (EST), a minimally invasive capsule based technology, to measure disease activity in children with EoE. Additionally, to determine esophageal distensibility in children presenting with EoE by using the EndoFLIP (functional luminal imaging probe) device during endoscopic procedures.

Using Spectrally Encoded Confocal Microscopy (SECM) to Image the Esophagus
The goal of this study is to test the feasibility and the tolerability of a tethered spectrally encoded confocal microscopy (SECM) capsule and to use it to image the esophagus.

Validation of the HYPONUT Product
The HYPONUT product was previously validated in a laboratory setting ("Procédé de préparation d'aliment hypoallergénique", n° FR1250977) on 2012. A international patent was then obtained on 2013. Through the present study, the investigators would like to prove that the hypoallergenicity of the product is sustained in a clinical setting. Patients allergic to peanuts currently undergo in vivo tests to confirm their allergy: skin prick tests, and oral food challenges. In vitro tests are also performed (i.e. IgE levels for peanut and peanut components). The follow-up of patients consists in regular yearly or semestral evaluations. During one of...

VE416 for Treatment of Food Allergy
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind trial with four arms evaluating VE416 as pretreatment or concurrent treatment in comparison to low-dose peanut oral immunotherapy (PNOIT) alone.

Walnut Oral Immunotherapy for Tree Nut Allergy
The purpose of this study is to determine if walnut oral immunotherapy can be used in subjects allergic to tree nuts to reduce tree nut allergy and induce changes in the subject's immune system.
