Currently, the clinical treatment of IgE-mediated food allergies is limited to allergen avoidance and emergency epinephrine treatment. In the FAC, we are committed to investigating the underlying pathways and potential therapies for food allergy. There are multiple clinical trials on food allergy in the FAC, investigating cutaneous immunotherapy, defining threshold minimum doses, and defining biomarkers of allergic disease.
