This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of multi-food oral immunotherapy (multi-OIT) using peanut and tree nuts proteins in children with confirmed food allergy to at least two allergens. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either multi-OIT or standard management consisting of an elimination diet. The primary objective is to evaluate immunotherapy efficacy defined as achieving tolerance to a cumulative dose of 4444 mg of protein during an oral food challenge (OFC-2) for at least one allergen that elicited a reaction during baseline challenge (OFC-1), compared with the control group. Secondary outcomes include the proportion of participants tolerating multiple allergens at the target cumulative dose; the incidence, type, and severity of adverse events classified according to the World Allergy Organization (WAO) grading system; changes in immunological parameters, including allergen-specific IgE and IgG4 levels; changes in skin prick test responses; changes in the quality of life of patients and their families.
This is an interventional, open-label, multicenter, randomized clinical trial enrolling 39 children aged 1-12 years with confirmed allergy to at least two of the following allergens: peanut, cashew, walnut, hazelnut and almond.
Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either the experimental group receiving multi-food oral immunotherapy (multi-OIT) or the control group receiving standard of care consisting of an elimination diet and rescue medications. Multi-OIT will be administered using a standardized mixture of peanut and tree nuts proteins, with a dose-escalation phase followed by a maintenance phase targeting 300 mg of protein per allergen per day. Treatment duration will be approximately 18 months.
All participants will undergo oral food challenges at baseline (OFC-1) and at the end of the study (OFC-2). The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as the proportion of participants achieving tolerance to a cumulative dose of 4444 mg of protein during OFC-2 for at least one allergen that elicited a reaction during OFC-1, compared with the control group. Safety will be monitored throughout the study based on adverse events recorded in symptom diaries and classified according to established grading systems.
Secondary outcomes include the proportion of participants tolerating multiple allergens at the target cumulative dose, the frequency and severity of adverse events classified according to the World Allergy Organization (WAO) grading system, changes in immunological parameters (including allergen-specific IgE and IgG4), skin prick test responses and quality of life of patients and their families.
Participants in the control group will be offered the option to receive immunotherapy after completion of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:
Well-controlled asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis are not exclusion criteria.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
From a breathing test (spirometry): how much air you can blow out in the first second. Often given as a percentage of what is expected for your age, height and sex.

Participants will receive multi-food oral immunotherapy (multi-OIT) using a standardized mixture of peanut and tree nuts proteins (cashew, walnut, hazelnut, and almond). Treatment includes a dose-escalation phase (1-300 mg protein per allergen) followed by a maintenance phase for 12 months (+/- 3 months) with a target daily dose of 300 mg of protein per allergen. Dose increases will be performed under medical supervision, and daily dosing will be continued at home. The total treatment duration is approximately 18 months.
Other: Multi-Food Oral Immunotherapy (Multi-OIT) with Peanut and Tree Nuts Proteins
Participants will continue standard management consisting of strict elimination of peanut and tree nuts from the diet and use of rescue medications, including epinephrine, in case of accidental exposure. Participants will be monitored according to the study schedule and will undergo follow-up assessments comparable to the experimental group.
Other: Standard of Care (Elimination Diet)
Multi-food oral immunotherapy using a standardized mixture of peanut and tree nuts proteins (cashew, walnut, hazelnut, and almond), administered in a dose-escalation phase followed by a maintenance phase with a target daily dose of 300 mg of protein per allergen.
Standard management consisting of strict dietary avoidance of peanut and tree nuts, along with the use of rescue medications, including epinephrine, in the event of accidental allergen exposure.
Immunotherapy Efficacy
Evaluation of immunotherapy efficacy defined as achieving tolerance to a cumulative dose of 4444 mg of protein during OFC-2 for at least one allergen that elicited a reaction during OFC-1, compared with the control group.
Time frame: Up to 21 months after starting oral immunotherapy
Proportion of Participants Tolerating at least 2, 3, 4 or 5 Allergens at a Cumulative Dose of 4444 mg During OFC-2
Proportion of participants who tolerate a cumulative dose of 4444 mg of protein for at least 2, 3, 4, or 5 allergens during OFC-2 (post-treatment oral food challenge). Tolerance is defined as consumption of the full cumulative dose without dose-limiting allergic symptoms. The outcome will be summarized as the proportion of participants meeting each threshold and compared between study groups.
Time frame: Up to 21 months after starting oral immunotherapy
Change in Maximum Tolerated Allergen Dose from OFC-1 to OFC-2
Change in the maximum tolerated dose (mg of protein) of allergens during oral food challenge from OFC-1 (baseline) to OFC-2 (post-treatment). The maximum tolerated dose is defined as the highest cumulative dose ingested without dose-limiting allergic symptoms. Changes will be analyzed within and between study groups.
Time frame: Up to 21 months after starting oral immunotherapy
Incidence, Type and Severity of Adverse Events During Immunotherapy Compared with Control (WAO Grading)
Number, type, and severity of adverse events during immunotherapy compared with the control group, assessed based on symptom diaries and classified by severity according to the WAO scale.
Time frame: Up to 21 months after starting oral immunotherapy
Change in Skin Prick Test (SPT) Wheal Diameter for Peanut and Tree Nut Allergens from Baseline to Final Assessment
Measurement of change in wheal diameter (mm) for peanut and tree nut allergens as assessed by skin prick testing (SPT) between baseline (OFC-1) and final assessment (OFC-2). Wheal size will be recorded as the mean diameter and compared within and between study groups.
Time frame: Up to 21 months after starting oral immunotherapy
Change from Baseline in Allergen-Specific IgE (sIgE) and IgG4 Levels
Change in serum concentrations of sIgE and IgG4 from baseline to post-treatment assessment. Measurements will be performed using standardized immunoassays and analyzed as continuous variables to evaluate immunologic response to therapy.
Time frame: Up to 21 months after starting oral immunotherapy
Change in Food Allergy-Related Quality of Life (FAQLQ)
Change in quality of life of patients and their families from baseline to post-treatment assessment, as measured using the Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire (FAQLQ). Scores will be analysed as continuous variables to assess the impact of treatment on daily functioning and well-being. Scores range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating worse quality of life.
Time frame: Up to 21 months after starting oral immunotherapy
