Brief summary
Thresholds In food allergy evaluaTion And predictioN, a prospective, observational registry. The aim is to quantify food allergy thresholds in Canada and their clinical predictors.
Interventions
Patients will undergo oral food challenge with increasing amounts of food allergen

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
1. Suspicion or history of food allergy based on medical history, positive skin prick test, and/or serum food-specific IgE. A suggestive history is defined as typical clinical signs and/or symptoms (urticaria, angioedema, abdominal pain, vomiting, dyspnea, wheeze) within 60 minutes of the ingestion of a food. 2. Ability to discontinue all antihistamines for 1 week before oral food challenge.
Exclusion criteria
1. Previous desensitization treatment to a food allergen 2. Allergies to any component of the oral challenge vehicle 3. Unstable conditions including uncontrolled asthma or chronic urticaria 4. Any clinically significant disease/chronic medical condition which may interfere with study evaluations.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Eliciting dose thresholds to food challenge | 1 year | Threshold are measured by controlled food challenge to incremental doses of allergen (g) and are adjudicated according to CoFAR v3.0 criteria |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire Child Form | 1 year | The number of items found in the child form questionnaire includes 30 items. Food allergy quality of life questionnaire is answered on a 7-point scale (0 to 6) with higher scores representing worse impairment. |
| Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire Adult Form | 1 year | The number of items found in the Adult Form questionnaire includes 35 items. Food allergy quality of life questionnaire is answered on a 7-point scale (0 to 6) with higher scores representing worse impairment. |
| Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire Parent Form | 1 year | The number of items found in the Parent Form questionnaire includes 38 items. Food allergy quality of life questionnaire consists of 3 to 4 domains, each question is answered on a 7-point scale (0 to 6) with higher scores representing worse impairment. |
| Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire Teen Form | 1 year | The number of items found in the Teen Form questionnaire includes 26 items. Food allergy quality of life questionnaire is answered on a 7-point scale (0 to 6) with higher scores representing worse impairment. |
| Specific IgE | 1 year | Measured by ImmunoCap (kU/L) |
| Basophil Activation Test | 1 year | Measured by flow cytometry (cell frequency basophils and median fluorescence intensity) |
| Skin Prick Testing | 1 year | Measured by mean wheal size (mm) |
