Monitoring Adverse Gastrointestintal Events In Cow’s Milk Immunotherapy Using the Esophageal STRING Test (MAGIC-STRING)
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate markers of eosinophilic inflammation in the esophagus longitudinally in subjects on milk oral immunotherapy (OIT) or placebo.
This is a companion study to a parent clinical trial which is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, 2 arm study in subjects aged 4 to 50 years inclusive who are allergic to milk. The parent study consists of a screening period, a 24-week treatment period, which includes 4 weeks of pre-treatment with dupilumab or placebo followed by 12 weeks of treatment with dupilumab or placebo in combination with a gradual up-dosing of milk protein ...

Cannabis Allergy Study
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a serum IgE hemp antibody immunoassay for use in the evaluation of allergies to cannabis and other hemp products.
Cannabis, in its various forms, has been used for decades recreationally, and medicinally throughout the world. Recent changes in the legal status of recreational cannabis as well as medical marijuana has meant that more and more individuals are being exposed to its potential allergens.
Currently, there is no reliable blood testing method to test patients for a potential allergy to cannabis. Without a reliable testing method, many patients who currently ...

C. Albicans during Early Life Predisposes Individuals to Atopy
Rochester, MN
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the contribution of C. albicans to dysbiotic microbial communities of mucosal tissues in pediatric populations. Prospective sampling across multiples tissue sites in a pediatric cohort will be used to assess which tissues are colonized by C. albicans and associated with microbial dysbiosis seen in atopic dermitis.
We hypothesize presence of C. albicans in the microbial communities in early life is associated with atopy. We will assess the presence of C. albicans in the microbial communities of a population of children at-risk for atopic dermatitis compared to healthy controls who ...

Collection of Tissue and Blood in Patients with Allergic and Immunologic Disorders
Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ
Allergic and immunologic disorders are very common but some are very poorly understood. Numerous studies of the epidemiology, characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of these disorders are urgently needed to identify and optimally treat affected patients. Though numerous challenges impact the progress of research in this area, specimens are needed to test new hypotheses and methodologies. We aim to create a registry and biorepository of tissue and fluid specimens for future studies.

Excretion of Mast Cell Mediators in Children with Allergic Disorders
Rochester, MN
The aim of this study is to examine the role of mast cell mediators in children with allergic disorders in a two part study. Part 1 of the study will prospectively obtain the values of mast cell mediators, including 2,3 dinor 11β-PGF2α, n-MH, and LTE4 in the urine of a healthy pediatric reference population. Part 2 of the study will prospectively evaluate the urine concentrations of mast cell mediators in a cohort of pediatric allergic disorder patients including asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, eczema, urticaria, systemic anaphylaxis, and mast cell disorders, as well as POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). Comparisons of these ...

Clinical Criteria for the Diagnosis of Anaphylaxis in Emergency Department Patients
Rochester, MN
The goal is to assess the criterion and predictive validity of the diagnostic criteria for anaphylaxis proposed by the 2nd Symposium on the Definition and Management of Anaphylaxis. Determination of the clinical utility of the diagnostic criteria is essential for the criteria to be widely adopted into clinical practice. Prospectively, the NIAID/FAAN criteria continued to be highly sensitive (95%) but had lower specificity (71%) than on retrospective assessment. These criteria are likely to be useful for the diagnosis of anaphylaxis in the ED.
