Official title: Comparison Efficacy Between Two Different Frequency of Maintenance Dose-oral Immunotherapy for Children With Wheat Allergy

Run by Mahidol University · NCT06035328 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing whether giving children with wheat allergies their treatment once a day or four times a week works better to help them not react to wheat.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are children aged 5-18 years with a history of IgE mediated wheat allergy and a positive oral food challenge test.

Probably not a fit

Patients with uncontrolled atopic dermatitis, asthma, or other chronic diseases, as well as those on certain medications or with developmental issues, may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of two different maintenance dosing schedules for oral immunotherapy (OIT) in children with IgE mediated wheat allergy. Participants will receive either a once daily dose or a four times per week dose of wheat OIT over a one-year maintenance phase. The primary goal is to compare the short-term unresponsiveness rates between the two dosing regimens, while also monitoring various immunologic parameters, body weight changes, compliance, adverse reactions, and quality of life. This research aims to standardize OIT protocols and improve treatment outcomes for wheat allergy patients.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more effective and standardized treatment options for children with wheat allergies.

How similar studies have gone: While there is variability in OIT protocols, this specific comparison of dosing schedules is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
