Can a simple blood test pinpoint peanut allergy?
NCT ID NCT07775430
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial evaluates whether a blood test called Flow CAST® can accurately identify peanut allergy. Researchers will compare results from people with peanut allergy, people with other allergies, and healthy controls. The goal is to see if this test can reliably distinguish those who are truly allergic to peanuts from those who are not.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Flow CAST®, a basophil activation test that measures how white blood cells react to peanut allergens in a blood sample
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this blood test could offer a more accurate and less risky way to diagnose peanut allergy compared to current methods.
- What could go wrong
- The test may not be accurate enough to replace existing diagnostics, and results from this trial may not apply to all populations.
