Comparing two oral immunotherapy methods for milk and egg allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of doing oral immunotherapy (gradually eating more of the allergen) for children with cow's milk or hen's egg allergy. It aims to find which method is safer and works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 16 years old.
- You are allergic to cow's milk, hen's egg, or both.
- Your allergy test (sIgE) shows a specific level between 0.35 and 35 kUA/L for the food(s) you're allergic to.
- During a supervised food challenge, you reacted to a moderate amount of the food (like 22 mg of milk or 18.5 mg of egg), but not to a very tiny or very large amount.
- Your allergic reactions are mild to moderate, not severe.
- You do not have uncontrolled asthma, severe eczema, eosinophilic esophagitis, or other serious conditions that could make oral immunotherapy unsafe.

This study watches how milk and egg allergies change naturally over time or after oral immunotherapy (OIT) in children. It helps researchers understand how the immune system adapts, aiming to improve treatment for food allergies.
This study tests a new approach to oral immunotherapy for food allergies, aiming to make it safer and more effective. It's for people who have had a clear allergic reaction to a food and have a positive allergy test.
This trial tests an oral (by mouth) immune-based treatment to reduce egg allergy reactions in children ages 6 to 16. It may help some kids become more tolerant to egg, but it requires careful screening and follow-through.
This study looks at how quickly children with possible egg and/or milk allergy are correctly diagnosed, and how follow-up checks affect their nutrition and growth. It may help you understand whether timely diagnosis and good monitoring could reduce problems with eating, weight, or growth.
This trial tests giving small, increasing amounts of cow's milk to toddlers with a confirmed milk allergy. The goal is to help their bodies get used to milk so they can eventually include it in their diet safely.
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.
