Building on a transmission model developed for Fiji, this study aims to calibrate a pneumococcal infectious disease model to support a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing the 1+1 PCV schedule with the standard three-dose schedule.
A study involving 5,300 participants, the HealthNuts Study is the world’s first comprehensive population-based study with an objective measurement of true food allergy. HealthNuts has been funded four times consecutively by the NHMRC to collect measures from age one to 15 years.
A randomised clinical trial of 2,739 infants aiming to determine if vitamin D supplementation leads to a reduction in challenge-proven food allergy at age one. In 2023, participants were invited to attend a six-year-old follow up. The VITALITY Trial is funded by the NHMRC, National Institutes of
A randomised clinical trial investigating whether one dose of the whooping cough (‘whole cell’ pertussis) vaccine given at two months of age instead of the current ‘acellular’ pertussis vaccine can help protect against allergic outcomes. This trial is funded by the NHMRC.
A pragmatic randomised controlled trial of low dose multi-nut oral immunotherapy versus standard care to treat multi-nut allergies in young children. The LMNOP Pilot Trial is funded by the Allergy & Immunology Foundation.
A randomised clinical trial testing a new model of care for the prevention of tree nut allergy in infants with peanut allergy. It compares a multi-nut oral food challenge versus home introduction of single tree nuts. The TreEAT Trial is funded by the Thrasher and Epworth Medical Foundation.
This study aims to discover if what a mother eats while breastfeeding can impact her baby's allergy development.
MIST+ and MIST are two randomised controlled trials investigating whether medical management (saline +/-steroid nasal spray) improves symptoms of snoring and sleep-disordered breathing in children. MIST+ is funded by the Garnette Passe and Rodney Williams Memorial Foundation.
This study is completed. This study brought an understanding and greater clarity on the complex topic of consent in research involving children.
A randomised clinical trial testing whether the number of eggs and peanuts a mother eats during pregnancy and breastfeeding has an influence on her baby’s food allergy development. The PrEggNut Trial is funded by the NHMRC.
