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.

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)

Trial design
Sequential
Treatments tested in this trial
Supervised Low-Dose Oral Food Challenge (OFC)
Other interventionAll 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 interventionParticipants 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 interventionParticipants who tolerate the Days 1-7 Low Dose OFC will undergo a supervised High Dose OFC (maximum 3000 mg food protein) on Day 8.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The proportion of individuals with active FPIES who develop FPIES symptoms during the optimal Low Dose multi-day OFC (Days 1-7)
Secondary outcomes
Percentage of participants who meet criteria for intravenous fluid (IVF) resuscitation among those who develop FPIES symptoms during Low Dose multi-day OFC (Days 1-7)[Time Frame: Up to Day 7]
Percentage of participants treated with oral ondansetron among those who develop FPIES symptoms during Low Dose multi-day OFC
Percentage of participants treated with parenteral ondansetron among those who develop FPIES symptoms during Low Dose multi-day OFC
Percentage of participants with hypotension among those who develop FPIES symptoms during Low Dose multi-day OFC (Days 1-7)
Hypotension defined as: a systolic blood pressure (mmHg): age 1-10: Systolic \<70+(age in years x 2); 11 years or older: \<90 mmHg.
