Ant venom allergy treatment: does it last?
NCT ID NCT06935890
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well venom immunotherapy protects people with Jack Jumper ant allergy years after treatment stops. About 100 adults who completed 3-6 years of therapy and have been off treatment for at least 18 months will have a supervised sting challenge and blood test. Researchers will also track field stings and quality of life to see if the protection lasts.
