A wearable patch may be able to prevent severe allergic reactions in toddlers with peanut allergies, according to the results of a promising clinical trial.
Viaskin peanut patch contains a small dose of peanut protein equal to about 1/1,000th of a peanut kernel.A wearable patch could prevent severe allergic reactions in toddlers with peanut allergies, according to the results of a promising clinical trial.
“We’re trying to build a protective layer for them so that if there is an accidental peanut exposure, they won’t have a reaction, or that reaction will be very mild and not send them to the emergency room,” he said. In the Viaskin trial, four of the participating toddlers developed anaphylaxis — an allergic response often characterized by difficulty breathing, swelling in the throat, pale skin, blue lips, fainting or dizziness. The reactions weren't considered severe, though three required epinephrine, an injection more commonly known as an EpiPen.Other research into peanut allergy interventions is ongoing.
