Dr Martin Wickham Addresses Practical OFC Workshop in Guangzhou

6th June 2026

豆包成人版app官方免费版 Healthcare’s Chief Innovation Officer, Dr Martin Wickham, presented at the Practical OFC Workshop in Guangzhou, hosted as part of the 2026 Cross-Strait Medical and Pharmaceutical Exchange Association, Allergy Medicine Professional Committee 2nd Academic Conference at the Guangzhou Yuexiu International Convention Center.

His talk, OFC in Clinical Trials: Dosing, Blinding & Regulatory Standards, covered the scientific and regulatory engineering behind a rigorous Oral Food Challenge: dose escalation design, blinding validation, outcome grading, and what regulators require when an OFC becomes a primary efficacy endpoint.

“What struck me most about the room on Saturday was the ambition. Chinese allergists and clinical researchers are not waiting for international knowledge to come to them, they are building it themselves, rigorously and fast. That makes conversations like this genuinely two-directional, and far more valuable for it. Proud to be part of it.” – Martin Wickham

Thank you to the organising committee of the Food Allergy Working Group (食物过敏学组) for the invitation, and to the clinicians and researchers who engaged so thoughtfully with the material.
