Clinical Research Studies
Lurie Children’s Division of Allergy and Immunology is at the cutting edge of food allergy clinical research. We offer our patients with food allergy the newest treatments as well as opportunities to be part of studies in hopes to discover more treatments and a cure.
We are currently recruiting patients in numerous food allergy studies. Learn more about our current trials:
POSEIDON: Peanut Oral Immunotherapy Study of Early Intervention for Desensitization
This study looks at the long term safety of peanut desensitization using AR101 in children 1 to 3 years old. Click here for the full study information or call 312. 227.6474 for more information.
PARK - Preventing Asthma in High Risk Kids

Basic Science and Public Health Research
The Center for Food Allergy and Asthma Research (CFAAR), part of the Institute for Public Health and Medicine (IPHAM) at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, aims to find answers and shape policies surrounding food allergy, asthma and other allergic conditions.
Led by Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH, CFAAR is comprised of three interdisciplinary and collaborative research cores: 1.) Public Health Data Repository Core, 2.) Clinical Research Core and 3.) Community/School Outreach Core. These cores are led by experts in the fields of epidemiology, health services research, health behavior, patient care, and advocacy seeking to make meaningful improvements in the health of children, adults, and families living with allergic disease.
