Breast milk allergy clues: study scrapped before it began
NCT ID NCT06765213
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to see if common food allergens like milk, egg, and peanut can pass through breast milk and cause allergies in infants. Researchers planned to test breast milk samples and check babies for sensitization using skin prick and blood tests. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help understand how food allergies develop in breastfed infants and guide early prevention strategies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study that was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available. It may not provide clear answers.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or post-partum females who plan to exclusively breastfeed and their infants who have completed at least 37 weeks of gestation 1. These are vulnerable populations 2. Our study involves breastmilk analysis, which we need postpartum mothers to supply. 3. (Parent) Testing will be done solely on breastmilk samples, with only potential dietary intervention done to the parent postpartum depending on the outcomes of the infant and breastmilk. 4. (Infant) In order to determine if allergens in breastmilk play a role in food allergen sensitization, we need to test the infants prior to the introduction of solid foods. 2. Personal history of atopic disease such as allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, asthma, food allergies, and atopic dermatitis 3. Maternal diet must include hen's egg, cow's milk, and wheat products. Exclusion Criteria: 1. No maternal history of atopic disease 2. Exclusive formula feeding 3. Maternal diet devoid of hen's egg, cow's milk, or wheat, for example, vegan diets and persons with gluten sensitivity.
