The EAT-On Study: Sensitisation, Allergy and Child Health

NCT03495583 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 1235

Last updated 2018-04-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The EAT Study showed a reduction in both sensitisation (to all foods) and clinical food allergy (to peanut and egg) among children who consumed allergenic food early compared with those who followed standard government feeding advice to exclusively consume breast milk for the first 6 months of life. The EAT-On Study aims to establish whether the effects seen at 3 years in the EAT study represent a delay in FA onset or sustained tolerance. EAT-On will also investigate the natural history (emergence and resolution) of FA in childhood; thus shaping dietary and management plans for allergic patients. Findings will inform future research and weaning recommendations for preventing FA.
