NATIENS: Optimal Management and Mechanisms of SJS/TEN
The North American Therapeutics in Epidermal Necrolysis Syndrome (NATIENS) study is a multicenter double-blind randomized controlled assessment of two arms - one of systemic immunomodulatory therapy (etanercept) and one of supportive care deemed to be the current standard of care. We will leverage the opportunity of this controlled design to collect multiples samples with an aim to discover new genetic and biological markers for prevention and early diagnosis and define cellular and molecular mechanisms to facilitate discovery of promising treatment strategies. This study has been preceded by a planning phase to ensure testing and development of harmonized supportive care...

Nutrients-fortified Egg Consumption on Eczema Condition in Individuals With Eczema
The study aims to assess the effects of daily consumption of nutrients-fortified eggs on eczema condition in individuals with eczema. It is hypothesised that daily consumption of nutrients-fortified egg, which is rich in antioxidants, will improve eczema conditions in individuals with eczema as compared to consumption of regular eggs.

Omalizumab as Monotherapy and as Adjunct Therapy to Multi-Allergen OIT in Food Allergic Participants
This study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in participants 1 to less than 56 years of age who are allergic to peanut and at least two other foods (including milk, egg, wheat, cashew, hazelnut, or walnut). While each participant may be allergic to more than two other foods, the primary endpoint/outcome in this study will only be assessed in peanut and two other foods for each participant. The primary objective of the study is to compare the ability to consume foods without dose-limiting symptoms during a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC), after treatment with either omalizumab or placebo for omalizumab.

Omalizumab to Accelerate a Symptom-driven Multi-food OIT
This study will determine the dose-related efficacy of a 20-week treatment of omalizumab started 8 weeks before the onset of a symptom-driven multi-food oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocol at decreasing time to OIT maintenance dose. Two dosages of omalizumab will be compared to placebo during an oral immunotherapy protocol for three simultaneous food allergens.

Oral Immunotherapy for Young Children With Peanut Allergy - Small Children OIT
Open label study with peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT). Peanut allergic children aged 1-3 years of age will be randomized 2:1 to: 1. Peanut OIT with slow up-dosing (40-60 weeks) up to a maintenance dose of 285 mg daily oral peanut protein or 2. Control group with peanut allergic children who do not undergo OIT. 3. In addition, a group of healthy children without allergic diseases will be included in the study. The primary outcome is tolerance to at least 750 mg peanut protein at a challenge after 3 years and sustained unresponsiveness (i.e. tolerance) to 750 mg peanut protein after 3 years of OIT followed by 4-6 weeks of avoidance. Efficacy and safety...

Pinpoint Trial: Prebiotics IN Peanut Oral ImmunoTherapy
The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and efficacy of using a prebiotic as an adjunctive therapy to peanut oral immunotherapy. The prebiotic is not an FDA approved drug or medication rather a fiber found at local grocery stores.

Preventing Atopic Dermatitis and ALLergies in Children
The primary objective is of the PreventADALL study is to test if primary prevention of allergic diseases is possible by simple and low cost strategies, and secondary to asses the impact of xenobiotic exposure and microbiota in and on the body and the environment on allergic disease development. The secondary objective is an exploratory focus to investigate early life risk factors for development of non-communicable diseases, including asthma and allergic diseases as well as for diseases that may share common risk factors, including cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. Design: A multi-national population-based prospective birth cohort with a factorial designed...

Prospective Database for Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) of Pediatric Population
Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune-mediated allergic inflammatory disorder that is being diagnosed with increased frequency. Compelling evidence suggests the etiopathogenesis is allergic and the immune response is triggered by food antigens in most children afflicted with this condition. The literature characterization of EoE is descriptive and retrospective thus far. Our aim in collecting and analyzing data prospectively of all EoE patients seen at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital (Lurie Children's) is to better understand the etiology, pathogenesis and clinical presentation of EoE in patients to better delineate its association with other...
