NCT ID NCT00874627

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested whether giving small amounts of milk under the tongue (sublingual immunotherapy) could help children with cow milk allergy tolerate more milk. Fifty-one children aged 5 and older with confirmed IgE-mediated cow milk allergy participated. Over 12 months, researchers measured how much milk the children could safely drink before reacting, along with skin reactions and allergy blood tests.
