Milk ladder therapy for children with cow's milk allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a gradual 'milk ladder' approach (slowly introducing milk in increasing amounts) is safe and effective for children with cow's milk allergy. It may help your child eventually tolerate milk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 1 and 5 years old.
- Your child must have a confirmed cow's milk allergy (diagnosed by a doctor and proven by a food challenge or blood/skin test).
- Your child must have been on a milk-free diet for at least 6 months (or since they turned 1 year old).
- Your child cannot already be able to eat baked milk products (like cookies or muffins) without a reaction.
- Your child should be generally healthy, with no uncontrolled asthma or recent infections.

This trial tests a step-by-step 'egg ladder' to safely introduce egg protein to children aged 1–5 years who have a confirmed egg allergy. The goal is to help them build tolerance and reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
This study tests a step-by-step approach to help children with cow's milk allergy safely eat more forms of milk. Children will start with very well-cooked milk and, if they tolerate it, slowly move to less cooked forms, aiming to build tolerance.
This trial tests a slow, multi-food oral immunotherapy (giving small amounts of several foods) in young children with food allergies. It aims to see if this treatment can help children safely eat more foods without allergic reactions.
This study compares introducing cow’s milk at home versus in a clinic for babies who may have a non-allergy type reaction to cow’s milk. It may help families learn the safest way to reintroduce milk when classic milk allergy tests are negative.
This trial studies an oral immunotherapy approach, where children take tiny, controlled amounts of certain allergy-causing foods to build tolerance. It may help reduce allergic reactions, but only if kids meet safety and monitoring requirements.
This study is observing children with food allergies who are willing to do an oral food challenge (eating the allergen in a safe clinic setting). It helps doctors learn more about how allergies affect children.
