Study assesses therapeutic benefits of new oral immunotherapy for children allergic to wheat

The study carried out by researchers from the Centre for Plant Biotechnology and Genomics along with the Allergy Department of the Hospital Infantil Universitario Niño Jesús of Madrid have shown that, most of the children that received this new oral immunotherapy treatment were able to eat 100 grams of wheat bread without side effects. This result has overcome the risk of accidental ingestion by patients with this allergy. This research could be the basis for large clinical trials with more patients with the aim of assessing the therapeutic benefit of this new approach.
