About this study
Food allergies are now a major problem. These experiments involve getting blood from people with food allergies and from people without food allergies. The blood collected will be used to answer questions and find information about peanut and other food allergies.
Samples will come from:

- People signed up by the investigators at the University of Colorado Denver
- University of North Carolina, Massachusetts General Hospital, Children's Hospital of Colorado and the Immune Tolerance Network (Benaroya Research Institute) where people have been treated for peanut allergies
- University of North Carolina, Massachusetts General Hospital, National Jewish Health and The Children's Hospital in Denver where people have taken part or will take part in clinically indicated oral food challenges.
Blood and health histories from the University of North Carolina, Massachusetts General Hospital, National Jewish Health, The Children's Hospital and the Immune Tolerance Network will not have personal information linked.
The specific aims of this experiment are:
- Come up with a lab test that will predict how bad an allergic reaction will be to peanuts.
- Find out what part of a peanut causes allergic reactions.
- Come up with preventions that can block peanut allergies.
- Find the strongest proteins in walnuts.
Read the detailed description
Overview: This is a protocol for obtaining serum, plasma, and cells from subjects with specific food allergies and from controls to be used in studies of peanut and other allergens. We are only asking the CTRC for help with drawing blood, separating serum, labeling tubes and to aliquot the serum. In addition, we will receive de-identified serum and plasma from other institutions and de-identified cord blood from the University of Colorado Denver Cord Blood bank.
The previous version of this application was COMIRB protocol 09-0813. This was last updated 03-03-2016. Much of the work outlined in protocol 09-0813 was completed and a manuscript is under review. This protocol is still only for the purpose of drawing blood and obtaining clinical histories. As such the risks and benefits in the informed consent have not changed.
Based on new NIH funding (RO3 AI 164349; started 7-09-21) and RO1-AI165866 (9th %-tile; scheduled to begin 09-01-21), the project now includes 5 specific aims (Aims #1-5). Aims 1 \& 2 are part of an R21 funded project (R21 AI135397; 11/16/2018-10/31/2020; extended until 10/31/2021 without additional funds) to Dr. Dreskin. Aims 3 \& 4 are part of an R21 funded project (R21 AI137881; 11/28/2018-10/31/2020; extended until 10/31/2021 without additional funds) to Dr. Chen (Dr. Dreskin is Co-PI). These proposals are highly complementary and each only needs access to blood samples. Dr. Dreskin's proposal consists of in vitro experiments to test IgE binding to novel peptides. Dr. Chen's proposal uses human serum or plasma as a source of IgE with which to identify and characterize mimotopes for murine studies. Aim 5 is an exploratory aim to obtain preliminary data for an RO1 to be submitted in 2019. For all of these projects, the only experiments that involve human materials are ex vivo assays of basophil activation, in vitro assays of IgE binding and generation of humanized mice using de-identified cord blood that will otherwise be discarded. There are no therapeutic interventions for human subjects.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Peanut Allergies and Tree Nut Allergies, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Stephen Dreskin, MD, PhD (303-724-7190, Stephen.Dreskin@ucdenver.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Identify which traits are associated with severe food allergy. (time frame: 1 day of single blood draw). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02192866, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Dec 2022.
