Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Luminex-based peptide assay (LPA) is a novel tool using machine learning techniques, developed to predict different degrees of food allergy has been successfully reported among cow's milk protein allergy. This technique provide a more precise and advanced adaptation from microarray-based immunoassay (MIA). Using this technique will aid us for the differentiation of clinical phenotypes of wheat-allergic patients. This study will be the first study to date using this technique aim to determine major IgE-binding epitope among immediated-reaction of wheat allergic children to differentiate clinical phenotypes, and may lead to further study to develop the new therapeutic approach to wheat-allergic patients.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 year to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients between the aged of 1-18 years with confirmed IgE-mediated wheat allergy will be enrolled

Description

Inclusion criteria

  1. Patients with IgE-mediated wheat allergy, with one of the following criteria; 1.1 a convincing clinical history of the reactions within 4 hours after wheat ingestion during the past 12 months combined with positive skin prick test (SPT) and/or the level of specific IgE (sIgE) to wheat or 1.2 a positive oral food challenge (OFC) result to wheat during the past 12 months OR

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

Wheat-allergic

The diagnosis of IgE-mediated wheat allergy was made if they have one of the following criteria

  1. a convincing clinical history of the reactions within 4 hours after wheat ingestion during the past 12 months combined with positive skin prick test (SPT) and/or the level of specific IgE (sIgE) to wheat or
  2. a positive oral food challenge (OFC) result to wheat during the past 12 months
Procedure: Blood drawing
Blood drawn will be done once using 15 mL of blood volume (Serum or plasma samples will be collected during the routine follow up of level of sIgE to wheat or during the oral food challenge test which intravenous insertion routinely prepared in case of the emergency reaction occurred). The specimen will be transferred to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA for Laboratory processing (Luminex-based peptide assay)
Wheat tolerant
Patients with wheat tolerant confirmed by negative oral food challenge (OFC) result to wheat during the past 12 months
Procedure: Blood drawing
Blood drawn will be done once using 15 mL of blood volume (Serum or plasma samples will be collected during the routine follow up of level of sIgE to wheat or during the oral food challenge test which intravenous insertion routinely prepared in case of the emergency reaction occurred). The specimen will be transferred to the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, USA for Laboratory processing (Luminex-based peptide assay)
Wheat oral immunotherapy
Patients with IgE-mediated wheat allergy and underwent wheat oral immunotherapy for at least 6 months or at the maintenance phase of the treatment
Procedure: Blood drawing
Blood drawn will be done once using 15 mL of blood volume (Serum or plasma samples will be collected during the routine follow up of level of sIgE to wheat or during the oral food challenge test which intravenous insertion routinely prepared in case of the emergency reaction occurred).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Major Immunoglobulin (Ig) E-binding epitope on wheat proteins and serum/plasma of patients
Time Frame: 48 months
For Luminex data, the binding intensity of antibody to epitope specific beads was calculated from the florescence signal of each bead. An index score of binding intensity was generated from the log2 transformation of the signal-to-background ratio and each peptide element, which was close to a normal distribution. A plate effect was observed and adjusted for using linear models. Antibody binding intensities (Luminex) from different groups were compared. To assess the changes in epitope-binding profiles, a linear model was used with group as a factor. Comparisons of interests were tested using t tests and resultant P-values were adjusted for multiple hypotheses using the Benjamini-Hochberg approach, which controls the false discovery rate (FDR) across epitopes. Epitopes were defined as differentially binding epitopes (DBE) if the FDR < 0.05 and fold changes (FCH) > 1.5.
48 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Predict different severity of wheat hypersensitivity reaction
Time Frame: 48 months
For Luminex data, the binding intensity of antibody to epitope specific beads was calculated from the florescence signal of each bead.
