Egg ladder therapy for young children with egg allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 1 and 5 years old.
- Your child has a diagnosed egg allergy confirmed by an oral food challenge or high IgE levels.
- Your child has been avoiding egg for at least 6 months since their last allergic reaction.
- Your child is generally healthy, but may have had severe reactions like anaphylaxis in the past.
- Your child does not have wheat allergy, celiac disease, or uncontrolled asthma.
- Your child has not had a severe egg reaction in the last 6 months.

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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
