Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pilot study to assess the effect of oral immunotherapy on specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels and antigen consumption in two distinct food allergies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In subjects with mammalian meat allergy, the effect of daily oral cow's milk on immune parameters and desensitization will be assessed. Similarly, in subjects with a peanut allergy the effects of low dose peanut flour will be assessed and comparisons between two distinct food allergies.
