Cow's milk specific IgE was measured at baseline and after therapy (kUa/L)

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE1/PHASE2

Target enrollment

Participant Flow

33 patients underwent screening Double-Blinded Placebo-Controlled Food Challenges (DBPCFCs). Two subjects failed screening because they tolerated at least 2.5g at the initial DBPCFC. One subject declined to continue in the study after the food challenge. 30 subjects were randomized.

Measure
SLIT
These subjects will have a dose escalation of the milk protein extract given sublingually. After dose escalation, they will continue on the sublingual daily maintenance dose for approximately one year. Milk Protein Extract Immunotherapy : Sublingual extract daily in escalating doses to goal of 7mg/day for approximately 1 1/2 years.
SLIT/OIT B
These subjects will start with a dose escalation of the milk protein extract given sublingually, and then will switch to milk powder given orally and will undergo a dose escalation for a goal of 2000 mg. After dose escalation, they will continue on the oral daily maintenance dose for approximately one year. Milk Powder Immunotherapy : Milk powder given orally in escalating doses with a goal dose of 2000mg/day given for approximately 1 1/2 years. Milk Protein Extract Immunotherapy : Sublingual extract given daily in escalating doses with goal of 4 mg/day for approximately 20 weeks.
SLIT/ OIT A
These subjects will start with a dose escalation of the milk protein extract given sublingually, and then will switch to milk powder given orally and will undergo a dose escalation for a goal of 1000 mg. After dose escalation, they will continue on the oral daily maintenance dose for approximately one year. Milk Powder Immunotherapy : Milk powder given orally in escalating doses with a goal of 1000mg/day for approximately 1 1/2 years. Milk Protein Extract Immunotherapy : Sublingual extract given daily in escalating doses with goal of 4 mg/day for approximately 20 weeks.
