The IMPACT trial

Summarised below, the Immune Tolerance Network IMPACT trial was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral immunotherapy in peanut-allergic children aged 1–3 years.

Multi oral immunotherapy

Lowering oral immunotherapy (OIT) doses can decrease the frequency and severity of adverse events, which could in turn reduce discontinuation of treatment in patients with food allergy1. Understanding the minimum daily dose that leads to desensitisation and induces immune responses in multi-food OIT (mOIT) is therefore a topic of interest.

Transitioning novel food allergy tests into clinical practice: a clinical commentary review

This infographic summarises three novel food allergy tests (bead-based epitope assay, basophil activation test and mast cell activation test), their potential applications and the steps needed before they may be implemented into clinical practice.

Allergen immunotherapy and/or biologicals for IgE-mediated food allergy

This infographic summarises the findings from a systematic review and meta-analysis that aimed to understand the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) and biologicals to treat immunoglobin E (IgE)-mediated food allergies.
