Oral milk therapy for toddlers with cow's milk allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 6 and 18 months old.
- Your child must have a confirmed cow's milk allergy, tested by a supervised feeding challenge.
- Your child must react to a very small amount of milk (under 300 mg of milk protein) during that challenge.
- Your child must have a positive blood test for milk allergy (specific IgE above 0.35).
- Your child must be at high risk for a milk allergy that doesn't go away on its own, as judged by your doctor.
- Your family must be motivated to try oral immunotherapy and be willing to discuss it together using a decision aid.

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 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.
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 trial tests if children with eczema who avoid certain foods actually have a food allergy. It uses a supervised oral food challenge to confirm.
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 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.
