Peanut avoidance may backfire: study tests allergy persistence at age 5
NCT ID NCT02497261
First seen May 15, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026
Summary
This study follows 200 children who have positive allergy tests to peanut but have never had a reaction or may have outgrown their allergy. Researchers will use a double-blind food challenge to see if avoiding peanuts makes the allergy more likely to persist by age 5. The goal is to understand early-life factors that predict whether a child remains allergic or becomes tolerant.
