NCT ID NCT01164241
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This completed study followed 945 people, mostly children and young adults with severe eczema or related allergic conditions, along with their relatives. Researchers observed how these diseases progress over up to a year, using tests like allergy skin pricks, blood draws, and lung function tests. The goal was to better understand the natural history of severe allergic inflammation, not to test a new treatment.
