  • No phase
  • Fundación Pública Andaluza para la Investigación de Málaga en Biomedicina y Salud
  • About 62 people
  • Started Jan 13, 2025

In plain words A study of apple pectin in people 18 to 60, run by Fundación Pública Andaluza para la Investigación de Málaga en Biomedicina y Salud. It plans to enroll about 62 people at 1 site, none in the US.

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 18 to 60. Conditions: Food Allergy.

  • Adults with a clear clinical history of food allergy after eating peach (oral allergy syndrome and/or systemic symptoms) and with or without clinical history of food allergy with peanut.
  • Sensitization to Pru p 3 by positive skin prick test (SPT wheal area >7 mm2) and specific IgE (sIgE >0.35 kUA/L)
  • Positive DBPCFC with peach juice.
  • If clinical history of food allergy with peanut, sensitization must be confirmed by positive SPT to peanut and sIgE >0.35 kUA/L to Ara h 9 and clinical reactivity through a positive DBPCFC with peanut.

1 more inclusion criterion and the exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Apple pectin (DE 57%); Placebo

Registered summary

Pectins are dietary fibers that have shown a health effect on patients with food allergy, as they are capable of modifying the composition of gastrointestinal microbiota, and producing an immunomodulatory effect. Preliminary results by the investigators show that the intervention for 2 months with pectins produces an increase in tolerance to peach, and changes in the microbiota compared to the group of patients treated with placebo. In this project, the investigators aim to study these clinical effects and the involved mechanisms. The full summary is on the listing.
