Clinical Trial Summary

Background and Rationale

For patients with Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy, the current management includes identification of the causative food and avoidance. Specifically, among young children, cow's milk allergy is the most common food allergy, occurring in as many as 2-3%. Given the prevalence of milk and the difficulty to avoid it in the diet, the investigators aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of oral immunotherapy for cow's milk allergy.

Main Objective

The primary objective is to study the efficacy of milk oral immunotherapy.

Target Population

Children aged six to 17 years with a history of cow's milk allergy will be recruited from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Allergy clinical offices for the investigators study.


Clinical Trial Description

Primary Study Interventions

Prior to and after the desensitization, we will conduct double-blind placebo controlled food challenges to cow's milk protein. During the desensitization phase, we will give increasing doses of cow's milk protein by mouth on a weekly basis, as tolerated. The desensitization protocol starts with dilutional doses of milk and build up to a goal of 8 ounces of cow's milk.

Main Study Outcome Measure

The percentage of children completing the desensitization protocol in each study group will be the primary outcome measure. ;
