NCT ID NCT03265262
First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 15 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a blood test called the basophil activation test (BAT) can accurately diagnose food allergies in children, potentially replacing the need for oral food challenges (OFCs) where kids eat the suspected food under medical supervision. Researchers tested 116 children aged 0-18 and compared BAT results with OFC outcomes. If BAT proves reliable, it could make diagnosis safer and less stressful for many families.
