San Raffaele EoE Biobank
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a immuno-mediated disease, characterised by a Th-2 food-antigen driven chronic inflammatory response of the esophagus. Main symptoms are dysphagia and food bolus impaction, frequently overlapping with most atypical and general symptoms like heartburn or regurgitation and difficulty to thrive in children. Overall incidence and prevalence of EoE are rapidly increasing. The complete comprehension of pathogenetic and molecular mechanism underlying this complex and relatively new disease is still to be conquered. For this reason, we created this EoE Biobank, in order to collect blood, oral and esophageal tissue samples of proven EoE patients to...

Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Neffy or Intramuscular Adrenalin in Patients with Allergic Reactions After Oral Food Challenge or Allergen Immunotherapy
The study is to assess the safety of neffy or IM Adrenalin in patients who are experiencing allergic reactions after an OFC, allergen Immunotherapy (AIT), or other allergy challenge that may require epinephrine intervention.

Testing Tolerance in Cow Milk Protein Allergy Patients: Milk Ladder or Direct Milk Administration?
Majority of children outgrow their allergies, however there are two different methods to re-introduce milk products in the infant diet either direct milk intake in escalating doses or milk ladder, starting with baked milk products instead of pure milk. This study aims to compare rate of tolerance after milk reintroduction among patient with cow milk protein allergy (CMPA) diagnosed by elimination re-challenge test after six months of elimination diet by milk ladder versus direct milk intake.

Tolerability of Baked Dairy Protein in Eosinophilic Esophagitis Patients with Cow Milk Protein Trigger
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic immune mediated disease characterized by eosinophilic infiltration in esophageal epithelium and resulting in esophageal dysfunction. While the exact pathogenesis is yet to be elucidated, EoE is considered an atopic disease. This classification is in part due to the inflammatory infiltrate of eosinophils, basophils and T-cells producing Th2 cytokines, yet it may also be triggered by environmental allergens. In addition, the rates of atopy are approximately 3 times higher in patients with EoE than in the general population. Furthermore, and most convincing, EoE is successfully managed with dietary exclusion of triggering groups in both...

A Trial to Assess Full-fat or Low-fat Dairy Foods on Insulin Sensitivity, RBC FA's and Other Markers of Metabolic Health
The objectives of this trial are to assess the effects of adding 2 servings/d of either full-fat or low-fat fermented dairy products to the diet, as a replacement for non-dairy foods with macronutrient composition similar to the low-fat fermented dairy condition, on insulin sensitivity, erythrocyte fatty acid profile and other cardiometabolic health markers in metabolically at-risk adults.

Extension Study of Oral PHA-022121 for Acute Treatment of Angioedema Attacks in Patients with Hereditary Angioedema
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of long-term on-demand treatment with orally administered deucrictibant for acute hereditary angioedema (HAE) attacks, including laryngeal attacks, in participants with HAE type 1 or type 2 (HAE-1/2). The study will enroll patients from Study PHA022121-C201 (NCT04618211) and Study PHA022121-C306 (NCT06343779) who elect to participate in this extension study and meet the eligibility requirements.

Impact of Zinc As a New Adjuvant Therapy for Cow Milk Protein Allergy in Children.
Children presented with manifestations of Cow Milk Protein Allergy will be enrolled for Cow Milk -related Symptoms Score (CoMiSS assessment). Detailed History, nutritional and clinical examination will be done to fulfill items of CoMiSS. Children will be randomly allocated to two groups. Oral Zinc will be supplemented to the interventional group. CoMiSS will be recorded at the baseline and weekly till 4 weeks. Then Oral Food Challenge (OFC) will be done to confirm the diagnosis and CoMiSS assessment will be recorded again to see if Zinc has any modulatory effect on reappearance of symptoms. The people administering the intervention, the people assessing the outcomes, the patients...

Improved Diagnostics in Food Allergy Study
The investigators will conduct low-dose intranasal allergen challenges on children and young people with an indeterminate diagnosis of food allergy to cow's milk or peanut. Blood samples will also be taken, for conventional blood allergy diagnostics (allergy-specific Immunoglobulin E) and mast cell activation test (MAT). The data will be used to determine the diagnostic accuracy of two complementary, novel approaches to diagnose food allergy, in a representative clinical cohort.
