Phenotypical Characterization of Peanut Allergic Children
An observational study of Nut Hypersensitivity and Child, run by Lille Catholic University.
Trial summary
Peanut allergy (PA) has been well studied and its prevalence was estimated up to 1.3% in Europe. Tree nut (TN) allergy and PA are clinically similar and often coexist, TN allergy prevalence ranged from 0.05 to 4.9 %. TN allergy is longlasting and nearly all TN have been associated with fatal allergic reactions . Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Phenotypical Characterization of Peanut Allergic Children With Differences in Cross-allergy to Tree Nuts and Other Legumes
Peanut allergy (PA) has been well studied and its prevalence was estimated up to 1.3% in Europe. Tree nut (TN) allergy and PA are clinically similar and often coexist, TN allergy prevalence ranged from 0.05 to 4.9 %. TN allergy is longlasting and nearly all TN have been associated with fatal allergic reactions . Other legumes or TN also contain seed storage protein orthologs of the globulins (Ara h1, Ara h 3) and 2S albumins (Ara h 2) of peanut, susceptible to provoke allergic reactions, but cross-reactivity to TN and other legumes in PA patients could also appear through primarily sensitization. These possible IgE-binding cross-reactions bring to recommend the avoidance of TN and other legumes which have never been eaten in PA children. In this context, diagnosis work-up of relevant cross-allergy versus asymptomatic cross-sensitization will impact directly children's health-related quality of life (HRQL).
When physicians suspect food allergy, many parameters have to be considered, such as clinical background, clinical history, type of symptoms related to the suspected food and cross-allergy to other foods. Then, to objectively confirm a food allergy and to assess its severity (related to the threshold reactive dose and symptoms), an oral food challenge (OFC) is demanded, and double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) is considered as "the gold standard".

Although OFC are more and more available in the diagnosis of PA, the assessment of cross-allergy to every single allergenic TN and legumes requires full allergy work-up and often many years of follow-up. Few studies investigated cross-allergy to TN and other legume, with rates of cross-allergy to TN between 28% and 50%. However, targeting patients with severe or cross-allergic phenotypes would greatly assist the allergist in management and follow-up of PA patients (i.e., planning OFC to cross-reactive food).
Our main objective is to identify different disease phenotypes of PA children with cluster analysis. This statistical approach has never been performed to identify cross-allergic phenotypes. We also will describe cross-allergy in PA and will identify possible risk factors for cross-allergy to TN and other legumes in PA children.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Peanut allergy (PA) has been well studied and its prevalence was estimated up to 1.3% in Europe. Tree nut (TN) allergy and PA are clinically similar and often coexist, TN allergy prevalence ranged from 0.05 to 4.9 %. TN allergy is longlasting and nearly all TN have been associated with fatal allergic reactions . Other legumes or TN also contain seed storage protein orthologs of the globulins (Ara h1, Ara h 3) and 2S albumins (Ara h 2) of peanut, susceptible to provoke allergic reactions, but cross-reactivity to TN and other legumes in PA patients could also appear through primarily sensitization. These possible IgE-binding cross-reactions bring to recommend the avoidance of TN and other legumes which have never been eaten in PA children. In this context, diagnosis work-up of relevant cross-allergy versus asymptomatic cross-sensitization will impact directly children's health-related quality of life (HRQL).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Nut Hypersensitivity and Child, run by Lille Catholic University.
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 2 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge Test for determination of type of allergic reaction (time frame: at inclusion). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 11 Nov 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
