Clinical Trial: Predicting Peanut Anaphylaxis and Reducing Epinephrine
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Anaphylaxis Food
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Transepidermal Water Loss as a Predictor for Severe Allergic Reactions in Oral Food Challenges
Brief Summary:
This research study is testing a new way to look for the early stages of anaphylaxis.Eligible participants will have a small monitor (transepidermal water loss) placed on the forearm during a food challenge (for peanut allergies).This monitor continuously records the amount of water lost through the skin.In a previous study the team learned what values are associated with an anaphylactic reaction.These values are called "stopping rules."This study is looking at whether it can use these new stopping rules…
