Determine Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) Standards for Cow's Milk and Egg in Different Populations of Allergic and Non-allergic Children
The study objectives are : Determine standards of plasma levels of casein-specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) and egg-specific immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) as a function of age, in non-allergic children, in allergic children, and in cured former allergic patients. Analyze the plasma IgG4 / IgE ratio, according to the result of the oral provocation test (tolerance versus allergy) and, in the event of a reaction, according to the reactogenic dose (dose which caused the reaction).Determine whether analysis of the plasma metabolome can identify children with a cured allergy to cow's milk protein or to egg from those with a persistent allergy.

Diagnosis and Allergen Identification of Perioperative Anaphylaxis
Perioperative anaphylaxis may lead to fatal respiratory and/or circulatory events, yet both clinical diagnosis and management are challenging. Serum tryptase is an indicator that can provide important retrospective diagnostic value for anaphylaxis. Another key point in perioperative anaphylaxis management is to identify the allergens, and thus avoid re-exposure during later perioperative management. Skin testing is an important way to identify allergens.

Drug Reactions Sampling (COLLECTIONTOXIDERMIES)
Intro: Dermatology department of Henri Mondor Hospital (Creteil, France), is a reference center for toxic bullous diseases and severe cutaneous drug reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), Lyell syndrome (toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN)), generalized bullous fixed drug reactions, AGEP, DRESS, drug induced immunoglobulin A (IgA) bullous dermatosis, and erythema multiforme). In order to conduct clinical and biological research studies in drug reactions, it is necessary for the investigator's department to implement a collection of clinical data and biological samples. Hypothesis/Objective: To collect clinical data and cutaneous and biological samples for immunological,...

Dupilumab for Eosinophilic Esophagitis With Severe Strictures
The purpose of this research study is to determine how well an FDA-approved drug, dupilumab, works to treat patients with severe strictures and active Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). This is an open-label study, meaning everyone in the study will receive dupilumab. Participants will have a screening visit where they will complete surveys and undergo an endoscopy (EGD). Blood and biopsies (small tissue samples) will also be collected. If eligible and enrolled into the study, participants will receive weekly subcutaneous (under the skin) injections of dupilumab for 52 weeks (one year). The first dose of dupilumab will be administered in the clinic at the enrollment visit (day 0)...

Dupilumab Versus Topical Corticosteroid Effectiveness - Comparison in the Treatment of Stenotic EoE
The goal of this clinical trial is to [primary purpose: e.g., learn if intervention or health behavior can treat, prevent, diagnose etc.] in [describe participant population/primary condition; could include any of the following: sex/gender, age groups, healthy volunteers]. The main question[s] it aims to answer [is/are]: Does dupilumab or swallowed topical fluticasone improve the diameter of the esophagus more? Does dupilumab or swallowed topical fluticasone reduce inflammation in the esophagus more? Are comparative effective clinical trials feasible in this patient population? Researchers will compare dupilumab 300 mg weekly compared to swallowed fluticasone to see if there...

EDN and Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Eosinophilic esophagitis is a recent and emerging chronic disease, secondary to eosinophilic infiltration of the esophageal mucosa leading to esophageal dysfunction. The diagnosis of this pathology, and monitoring of the efficacy of therapies, relies on the assessment of eosinophilic density on esophageal biopsies: follow-up requires numerous digestive endoscopies under general anesthesia, at each therapeutic change, to assess remission. The search for non-invasive biomarkers of active eosinophilic esophagitis is therefore a subject of major interest. The first step is to study EDN (Eosinophil-Derived Neurotoxin), a protein secreted when eosinophils are activated. Several...

Effectiveness and Safety of Milk Ladders in Children with IgE-Mediated Cow's Milk Protein Allergy
Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the most common food allergies in early childhood. The first-line treatment of CMPA is the elimination of cow's milk proteins (CMPs) from the child's or maternal diet. Available data from the literature indicate that most children with CMPA acquire tolerance to CMPs with age. An assessment of tolerance acquisition to CMPs is commonly performed using milk ladder. However, scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness and safety of the milk ladder in children with CMPA is limited. Currently, there is no standardised milk ladder protocol, and different versions of the ladder and recommend by scientific societies in various...

Effect of Dupilumab on the Muscle Function of the Esophagus (food Pipe) in Participants with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)
The goal of this study is to research Dupilumab, an FDA approved medication in treating patients diagnosed with Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). The drug works by controlling allergic inflammation of the esophagus. The esophagus is a food pipe that transfers food from the mouth into the stomach. Participants with EoE have dysfunction of the muscle of the esophagus (impaired peristalsis) that is not favorable for the transport function. Main question this study aims to answer is: Whether Dupilumab helps improve muscle activity of the esophagus in participants with EOE? Participants will: Take Dupilumab every week for 12 weeks. Visit the clinic before and after starting...

Effect of Omalizumab in the Skin of Food Allergy Patients
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate whether skin barrier abnormalities occur in subjects with a food allergy, as determined by positive oral food challenge (OFC). The main question it aims to answer is whether these skin barrier abnormalities can be reversed by omalizumab. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare non-food allergic participants (who do not receive omalizumab) to see if they experience skin barrier abnormalities. All food allergic participants will receive 4 months of Omalizumab treatment as well as two Oral Food Challenges. Participants will all undergo skin barrier assessments.

Effects of Inhaled Epinephrine on Systemic Allergic Reactions During Allergy Testing, Immunotherapy or Oral Challenges
The goal of this exploratory study is to evaluate the effects of inhaled epinephrine in subjects, who may not be eligible for the GHL-101 trial, and who are experiencing systemic allergic reaction (SAR) that occur following allergy testing, subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), oral challenges (with food and/or drug) or oral immunotherapy (OIT).
