NCT ID NCT02295488
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 29 adults with severe bee or wasp sting allergies to understand why a fast, one-day desensitization treatment is safe. Researchers measured changes in immune cells (basophils and T cells) before and after the treatment. The goal was to learn the mechanism, not to test a new treatment.
