CHILDREN who are allergic to peanuts may benefit from a 'peanut patch' - a skin patch containing peanut protein - applied daily, according to international and Australian research.
The study across 31 international sites, including three in Australia, found that 35% of children who received the peanut patch responded to the treatment, compared to just 13% with the placebo patch.
The results were statistically significant but they did not meet an agreed pre-trial definition of a clinically significant response that was recommended by the US Food and Drug Administration.
