Egg ladder could help babies beat egg allergy at home
NCT ID NCT06273605
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a home-based, dietitian-led 'egg ladder' for infants newly diagnosed with egg allergy. Over 12 months, babies gradually ate more cooked egg, starting with baked goods. The goal was to see if this approach is safe and feasible. 109 infants participated, and researchers tracked allergic reactions and how well families followed the plan.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
egg ladder (gradual introduction of egg in cooked forms)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a safe, home-based way for infants to outgrow egg allergy without needing hospital visits.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed feasibility study, not a large trial. The results may not apply to all infants, and allergic reactions are still possible.
