Can kids outgrow milk allergy on their own? new study watches and waits
NCT ID NCT07448740
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 30 children with cow's milk allergy who did not become tolerant after a previous treatment. Researchers will observe whether these children naturally develop tolerance over time without any new intervention. The goal is to better understand the natural course of the allergy.
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 study could help doctors understand how some children naturally outgrow cow's milk allergy after initial treatment failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test a new treatment, only observes natural changes.

Who is studied
Children participating in study s68299 who fail the challenge test with unheated cow's milk 12 months after initiation of the TEHITI trial, can be enrolled in this post-TEHITI study. Upon IC (and assent if appropriate) parents (and children) can participate in the current post-TEHITI observational trial. Upon enrollment in the post-TEHITI trial, specific data will be pseudonymised and collected during the clinical follow-up visits: * Intake of cow's milk containing food products: amount, recipe, frequency of intake in the period between two follow-up consultations * Clinical reactions: description and recording of potential cofactors for their presentation * Medication use to treat the clinical reaction * Relation to cow's milk intake: certain/doubtful/absent * Specific IgE to cow's milk proteins in peripheral blood * Total IgE levels in peripheral blood Individual pseudonymisation will be done by similar code as given in TEHITI trial.
