Study summary

This will be a multi-center, prospective evaluation, conducted at a minimum of four (4) U.S. sites. Sites will enroll peanut allergic subjects, subjects with allergies other than peanut and apparently healthy non-atopic control subjects and collect blood samples for testing using Flow CAST® and the comparative ImmunoCAP sIgE test.

Read the detailed description

Study subjects will be enrolled into one of the following 3 groups: healthy non-atopic subjects with no history of allergies, atopic subjects with confirmed peanut allergy, atopic subjects with a diagnosed allergy but confirmed negative for peanut allergy.

Subgroup analysis will be performed for each of the above categories.

Study population

Adult subjects and pediatric subjects of at least 6 months of age are eligible for study enrollment.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Individual undergoing a blood draw
  • Individual willing and able to provide two additional tubes of blood (3ml each tube) for research purposes
  • Individual or legal guardian will and able to sign the form to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Individual has undergone immunotherapy for peanuts or other identified allergens that have been shown to cause allergic symptoms
  • Individual has been exposed to systemically administered within the last 24 hours.
  • Individual has been recently exposed to small molecule medications
  • Individual has been recently exposed to treatment with biologics interfering with the type-I allergic pathway
  • Individual is currently involved in another "allergy treatment related" clinical research study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Groups and cohorts

  • Non-atopic

    Healthy non-atopic subjects with no history of allergies

    Diagnostic Test: Basophil activation test

  • Atopic peanut

    Atopic subjects with confirmed peanut allergy

    Diagnostic Test: Basophil activation test

  • Atopic non-peanut

    Atopic subjects with a diagnosed allergy but confirmed negative for peanut allergy

    Diagnostic Test: Basophil activation test

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testBasophil activation test

    Flow CAST® is a flow cytometry-based basophil activation test. Whole blood samples from patients are stimulated with specific allergens, as well as stimulation buffer and stimulation controls, to evaluate the patient's basophil degranulation in vitro

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Clinical sensitivity of Flow CAST® with respect to a population of subjects with confirmed peanut allergy

    Time frame: Within 48 hours after sample collection

  2. Clinical specificity of Flow CAST® with respect to a population of apparently healthy non-atopic subjects

    Time frame: Within 48 hours after sample collection
