Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Anne Ellis, MD Guest: George DuToit, MD Managing a food allergy can be difficult for both physicians and patients, which is why advocacy groups are working to advance the interests of this community and develop guidelines for healthcare professionals. To find out more, Dr. Jennifer Caudle is joined by Drs. Anne Ellis and George DuToit, who discuss their opinions and go into detail about how physicians can help patients living with a food allergy.

Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Bruce Lanser, MD Guest: Drew Bird, MD Clinical trials are an important part of food allergy research, but there are some pretty big differences in the language that’s used to define primary endpoints and reported outcomes—not only here, but also abroad. Joining Dr. Jennifer Caudle to interpret the language that’s used in food allergy research and the implications of these different dialects are Drs. Drew Bird and Bruce Lanser.

Guest: Jay Lieberman, MD Food challenges can be done in a few different ways, and here to walk us through two types that are commonly used in research and clinical settings is Dr. Jay Lieberman, Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

Guest: Jay Lieberman, MD As oral immunotherapy for food allergy continues to gain traction in clinical trials, Dr. Jay Lieberman shares four key takeaways regarding its side effects, whether it should be viewed as a cure, how it could potentially change a patient’s lifestyle, and ultimately, if it’s the answer for every patient with a food allergy.

Host: Amy Mackey, MD Guest: Brian P. Vickery, MD In an effort to help physicians provide better care for those patients at risk of unpredictable—and potentially life-threatening—allergic reactions, the PALISADE group of clinical investigators explored oral immunotherapy as a potential treatment. Joining Dr. Amy Mackey to review these findings is the study’s lead author, Dr. Brian Vackey. He’s also an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Food Allergy Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Emory University.

Guest: Brian P. Vickery, MD To help address some common concerns, a recent study from the PALISADE group of clinical investigators looked at the safety and efficacy of peanut oral immunotherapy. So what exactly did the study find? Here to review the trial’s promising results is Dr. Brian Vickery. In addition to being the lead author of the study, he’s also an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Food Allergy Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Emory University.

Host: Amy Mackey, MD Guest: Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH Before we are able to improve how we address, research, and treat food allergies, we must first better understand the true prevalence and severity of this health threat. To help close this knowledge gap, Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine Dr. Ruchi Gupta reveals key findings from The Public Health Impact of Parent-Reported Childhood Food Allergies in the United States study.

Guest: Ruchi Gupta, MD, MPH Despite the increasing prevalence of food allergies in children nationwide, accurate and comprehensive statistics regarding its impacts didn’t exist, which is exactly why The Public Health Impact of Parent-Reported Childhood Food Allergies in the United States study was conducted. Here to walk us through its findings is Dr. Ruchi Gupta, Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and lead author of the study.

Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Erica Spector As physicians, we know how difficult adjusting to and living with a peanut allergy can be for our young patients, but we don’t always think about the toll that this burden takes on their caregivers. Follow along with Erica Spector, mother and caregiver of a child with a peanut allergy, as she describes the precautions and considerations she takes every single day to ensure that her teenage daughter stays safe in every aspect of her life.

Guest: Jennifer Caudle, DO Conducting clinical research is essential if we are to better understand peanut allergies, yet the terminology to describe these findings only confuses and frustrates clinicians. Here to help clear up the confusion is Dr. Jennifer Caudle, who also demonstrates the importance of standardizing these terms so that the medical community as a whole can accurately and effectively utilize these research findings.
