Evaluation of Tolerance, Efficacy and Safety of an Hydrolyzed Formula in Infants With IgE/Non-IgE Mediated CMA.
The aim of this interventional study is to assess the hypoallergenicity of a new formula in infants having a cow milk allergy (CMA), whatever the type of CMA, meaning in both IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated CMA patients. This will be tested through a double-blind placebo controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) taking place over 2 or 3 separate days, in hospital. If the child tolerates the tested formula during the DBPCFC, he will be fed with the test formula during the second study phase. There will be monthly visit and parents will be asked to fill in diaries.

Fish Oral Immunotherapy in Hong Kong Children
At present there is no cure for food allergy. People with a food allergy need to avoid the food they are allergic to in order to stay safe, but we know that accidental exposure is common. Researchers have begun to look at the effectiveness of 'oral immunotherapy' as a treatment for food allergy but results have been mixed. This study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of Fish Immunotherapy (FOIT), with codfish as the primary focus, in inducing tolerance in children with fish allergy compared with Placebo. Children will take increasing doses of codfish protein until a total of 12 months treatment is completed. Children will be tested for fish allergy...

Inflammatory Mediators as Potential Non-Invasive Biomarkers in Subjects With Eosinophilic Esophagitis
The investigators seek to assess esophageal inflammation or lack of it in response to treatment with a novel non-invasive method that would measure eosinophil-associated inflammatory mediators in the blood and urine to determine the presence of active Eosinophilic Esophagitis. For these purposes, the investigators will correlate esophageal inflammatory mediators measured in blood and urine with histological findings identified on esophageal mucosal biopsies. Additionally, biopsies associated mediators will be assessed relative to clinical phenotype and outcome.

Intervention to Reduce Early (Peanut) Allergy in Children
iREACH is a five-year NIH funded study aimed at assessing and improving pediatric clinician adherence to the 2017 NIAID Prevention of Peanut Allergy (PPA) Guidelines. iREACH has been developed as an electronic health record (EHR) integrated Clinical Decision Support (CDS) tool together with educational modules on the PPA guidelines to assist clinicians in implementing the 2017 NIAID PPA Guidelines. A practice-based, two-arm, cluster-randomized clinical trial will evaluate the effectiveness of iREACH in increasing pediatric clinician adherence to the PPA Guidelines and explore the end-goal of reducing peanut allergy incidence by age 2.5 years in the intervention vs control...
