Summary
This study tested a treatment called oral immunotherapy (OIT) for people with shrimp or cashew allergies. Participants gradually ate small, increasing amounts of the allergen to help their immune system become less sensitive. The goal was to reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions, not to cure the allergy permanently. The study was terminated early, but it aimed to enroll 58 people aged 7 to 55.
