About this trial

This is a phase I multicenter clinical trial that aims to find the optimal dose for conducting a novel low-dose, multi-day oral food challenge (OFC) protocol for diagnosing food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). Individuals ages 1-60 years with a history of suspected or confirmed FPIES will be eligible for enrollment. Recruitment is expected to occur over 3 years.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Provision of appropriate consent and/or assent

Age 1-60 years

Suspected or confirmed FPIES diagnosis

Reported convincing FPIES reaction (per criteria in 2017 FPIES guidelines) within: (Children <18 years of age: The past 6-36 months) (Adults age >18 years: The past 6 months-10 years)

Disqualifiers

Past severe FPIES defined as hospitalization due to an acute FPIES reaction with neurological compromise or requiring life support

Acute FPIES reaction in the past 6 months

Frequent gastrointestinal symptoms: nausea, abdominal pain, reflux, heartburn, emesis, diarrhea, constipation per participant or guardian report or as evidenced by FPIES Symptoms Score (FPIES-SS)

Current active eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, gastroesophageal reflux disease, or any other chronic gastrointestinal condition

Trial design

Design model

Sequential

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Supervised Low-Dose Oral Food Challenge (OFC)

    Other intervention

    All participants will undergo a supervised Low Dose OFC (300 mg food protein or amended) on Day 1.

  • At-Home Low-Dose Oral Food Challenge (OFC)

    Other intervention

    Participants who tolerate the Day 1 Low Dose OFC will undergo a daily Low-Dose OFC (300 mg food protein or amended) at home on Days 2-7.

  • Supervised High-Dose Oral Food Challenge (OFC)

    Other intervention

    Participants who tolerate the Days 1-7 Low Dose OFC will undergo a supervised High Dose OFC (maximum 3000 mg food protein) on Day 8.
