Peanut allergy breakthrough? new study tests daily dosing to build tolerance in kids
NCT ID NCT07592780
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving children with peanut allergy small, increasing amounts of peanut protein (oral immunotherapy) can help them tolerate more peanut without a reaction. It compares this approach to the standard care of strictly avoiding peanuts. The goal is to see if this treatment works in real-world settings and to find out which children benefit most. About 125 children aged 2 to 17 with confirmed peanut allergy will take part.
