The goal of this observational study is to learn about the long-term outcomes of children and young people who underwent an 18-month course of oral immunotherapy (OIT) treatment for peanut, egg or milk allergy. It aims to:
• Compare long-term changes in health-related quality of life (HRQL) at 5-15 years after stopping OIT in participants who achieved remission and those who did not.
Participants will attend a single follow-up visit for:
The study population will be made up of participants from four clinical trials: PEAT, PrEMO, PPOIT-001 and PPOIT-002. They are being invited to participate in the LPEM observational study to evaluate the long-term outcomes of OIT.
Participants will have a blood sample taken at the visit to measure their peanut/egg/milk specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) level. Plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) will also be stored for future analysis. A maximum of 50 milliliters (mL) of blood will be collected via venipuncture. If collection of blood via venipuncture is not possible, capillary blood via fingerprick technique will be collected instead (in which case only blood for the sIgE level will be collected, due to volume).
Participants will have a skin prick test completed at the visit to measure their allergy status. The skin prick test will include the following extracts:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Changes in health-related quality of life (HRQL) scores from baseline to 5-15 years after stopping oral immunotherapy (OIT) in individuals who achieved remission and those who did not, as measured by Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaires (FAQLQ). | HRQL scores were collected via validated surveys (FAQLQ) during the parent studies (PEAT, PrEMO, PPOIT-001 and PPOIT-002), and will be used again in this study for comparison. Changes in HRQL scores from the parent study (baseline) to 5-15 years after stopping OIT will be compared between the clinical outcome groups (Allergic or Sustained Unresponsiveness (SU)/Remission), as determined by the clinical outcome achieved at the end of treatment in the parent study. HRQL scores (reported as mean and standard deviation) will compare changes between the clinical outcome groups using generalised linear modules, adjusted for continuous variables as well as baseline HRQL scores. If continuous outcomes do not follow normal distribution they will be summarised as median and interquartile ranges (IQR), and comparison between the groups will be performed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum (Mann-Whitney) test. | A single study visit (approximately 2 hours) will be conducted at 5-15 years after the participant completed OIT in their parent study. |
