Speaker:  Edwin Kim, MD
Viewers can earn credit by completing the posttest questions.

Educate the learner on prior food immunotherapy studies so that the learner can best interpret and put into perspective new data on food allergy treatments being submitted to the FDA.  No treatments are available for food allergy but multiple investigational products are in development. Multiple small and heterogeneous studies of OIT, SLIT and EPIT have been published or reported which are the basis of the therapies being presented to the FDA. In order to best evaluate these new therapies, a thorough understanding of these previous studies including efficacy data as well as pros and cons of therapy are needed.
