Summary: This study will assess the role for an oral targeted medication, abrocitinib, as a new treatment option for food allergy patients that would avoid injections. Abrocitinib, which has successfully completed phase three trials for atopic dermatitis, could serve as a single therapy for two conditions in many patients with multiple atopic conditions.
