Food Allergy Research

Through our association with UT Southwestern, the Food Allergy Center at Children’s Health℠ is the only institution in North Texas conducting instrumental, groundbreaking research to develop new therapies for children with food allergies.

Food allergies affect more than 32 million Americans, including more than 5.6 million children under the age of 18. Symptoms of an allergic reaction can range from mild to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening condition that can cause death. Currently, there is no cure for food allergies and no treatments approved for general use.

The purpose of food allergy research is to better understand the causes of food allergy and to develop treatments that prevent severe allergic reactions. We hope that our efforts will one day lead to a cure for food allergies.

 
  • Clinical Research Studies

    As the only academic-affiliated pediatric food allergy center in North Texas, we participate in numerous food allergy research studies including 12 ongoing IRB-approved projects. The majority of our research focuses on development of therapeutics for treatment of life-threatening food allergies, such as peanut allergy, milk allergy and others. We also participate in clinical trials investigating therapeutics for eosinophilic esophagitis.

    Current Studies:

    • The Outmatch Study
    • Is your child allergic to peanuts?
    • Does your child have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE)?
    • AR101 Study
    • Safety and Efficacy Study of Viaskin Peanut in Peanut-allergic Young Children 1-3 Years of Age (EPITOPE)
    • FARE Peanut SLIT and Early Tolerance Induction
    • Efficacy and Safety of Viaskin Milk in Children With IgE-Mediated Cow's Milk Allergy (MILES)
    • Long-term Safety Study of AR101 in Subjects Who Participated in a Prior AR101 Study (AR101 Study)
    • Follow-up of the PEPITES Study to Evaluate Long-term Efficacy and Safety of Viaskin Peanut in Children (PEOPLE)
    • Safety Study of Viaskin Peanut to Treat Peanut Allergy (REALISE)

    See a list of all active clinical trials

  • Interested in joining a food allergy clinical trial?

    Participation in research studies is influenced by interest level. If you would like to be a part of a future clinical trial, please enter your information in the Food Allergy Center Clinical Trial database, and our staff may contact you if we have an applicable study.

    For more information on open clinical trials, contact our clinical research coordinators at foodallergyresearch@childrens.com.
