This trial is a two-armed open randomized controlled trial in children aged 5-15 years with challenge proven Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-associated milk allergy.The purpose is to determine if oral immunotherapy with milk can induce tolerance to milk. The active intervention is intake of increasing amounts of fresh milk for six months followed by three years of maintenance treatment with milk. The control group continues their elimination (milk free) diet. The trial will recruit patients at ten pediatric departments in Sweden, coordinated by Umeå University. The primary outcome is milk tolerance (defined as a negative double-blind placebo-controlled milk challenge) at trial completion 3.5 years after start of treatment. Secondary outcomes include allergic symptoms during treatment documented as certain allergic manifestations, changes in immunological and microbial biomarkers, quality of life and nutritional status.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Number of participants that achieve tolerance to milk | Tolerance is defined as absence of IgE-mediated allergic symptoms connected to a double-blind placebo-controlled milk challenge | 3.5 years after start of treatment | |
Secondary | Changes in level of basophil activation (CD sens) in blood | Level of basophil activation at baseline, after dose escalation and after maintenance therapy and one additional week free from milk proteins | At baseline, after 6 months, after 3.5 years | |
Secondary | Changes in Quality Of Life: FAQLQ-PF | Quality Of Life, reported by questionnaire (FAQLQ-PF) after completion of the intervention (3.5 years) compared to pre-trial baseline level. The scale used is Emotional Impact, Food Related anxiety and Dietary Limitations. Each question of the FAQLQ is answered on a 7-point scale. Total FAQLQ scores and domain scores are calculated by dividing the sum of completed items by the number of completed items. Total FaQLQ and domain scores range from 1 "no impairment" to 7 "maximal impairment". Higher values are a worse outcome (low health related quality of life). Subscale is Health related quality of life (HRQoL summary score=(Emotional Impact subscale score + Food Related anxiety subscale score+Dietary Limitations subscale score)/3. | At baseline, after 3.5 years | |
Secondary | Changes in nutritional status | Body Mass Index (BMI) after completion of the intervention (3.5 years) compared to pre-trial baseline levels | At baseline, after 3.5 years | |
Secondary | Frequency of treatment-demanding adverse effects | Number of events with adrenaline injection within 2 hours after a dose of milk (one or two injections) during step-up and maintenance therapy respectively. Number of events with inhalation of bronchodilatator within 2 hours after a dose of milk during step up and maintenance therapy respectively. Number of participants with two or more events with adrenaline injections during step-up and maintenance respectively. Number of participants with two or more events with inhalation of bronchodilatator during step-up and maintenance therapy respectively. Number of participants with no events of adrenaline injections. Number of participants with no events of inhalation with bronchodilatator. | 3.5 years | |
Secondary | Changes in level of IgE milk in blood | Level of IgE milk including the components IgE casein, IgE lactoglobulin and lactalbumin at baseline, after dose escalation and after maintenance therapy and one additional week free from milk proteins | Baseline, 6 months, 3.5 years | |
Secondary | Changes in level of IgG4 milk in blood | Level of IgG4 milk at baseline, after dose escalation and after maintenance therapy and one additional week free from milk proteins | Baseline, 6 months, 3.5 years | |
Secondary | Changes in level of IgA in saliva | Level of IgA at baseline, after dose escalation and after maintenance therapy and one additional week free from milk proteins | Baseline, 6 months, 3.5 years | |
Secondary | Changes in overall microbial composition in stools | The overall microbial composition at baseline, after dose escalation and after maintenance therapy and one additional week free from milk proteins will be assessed using amplicon sequencing | Baseline, 6 months, 3.5 years | |
Secondary | Changes in overall microbial composition in saliva | The microbial composition at baseline, after dose escalation and after maintenance therapy and one additional week free from milk proteins will be assessed using amplicon sequencing | Baseline, 6 months, 3.5 years |
