About this trial
This study investigates the efficacy and safety of two different OIT schemes to treat milk and egg allergic children
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients 6 to 16 years old
sIgE levels to milk 0.35 to 35kUA/L for milk allergic subjects and egg 0.35 to 35kUA/L for egg allergic subjects
Entry DBPCFC discrete milk eliciting dose (ED)≥ 22.2mg of milk protein and discrete egg ED≥18.5mg of egg protein, that are the population-based reference values for the ED20
Having a mild to moderate food allergy severity per DEFASE score (<13 points)
Disqualifiers
sIgE levels to milk >35kUA/L for milk allergic subjects and egg > 35kUA/L for milk allergic subjects
Entry DBPCFC discrete milk ED<22.2mg of milk protein or discrete egg ED<18.5mg of egg protein
Entry DBPCFC discrete ED for milk>2112mg of milk protein (cumulative amount of 4193,7mg of milk protein) and egg discrete ED>1560mg of egg protein (cumulative amount of 3110.8mg of egg protein)
Having severe food allergy per DEFASE score (≥13 points)
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
"Rush" regimen
Biological/VaccineThe "rush" regimen consists of the administration of several incremental doses daily, every day, over the first week of the Induction Phase (Part 1)
"Conventional" regimen
Biological/VaccineThe "conventional" regimen consists of the administration of only one incremental dose every 2 weeks, throughout all the Induction Phase (Part 1)
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Number of adverse events with an oFASS5 severity ≥2 occurred until Induction Phase (Part 1) completion at the hospital setting per subject in both groups, rush vs conventional
Proportion of subjects completing the Induction Phase (Part 1) in both groups (rush vs conventional) at the end of study (7 months of treatment)
Secondary outcomes
Number of adverse events with an oFASS5 severity ≥2 reported until Induction Phase (Part 1) completion at home and hospital setting per subject in both groups, rush vs conventional
Number of anaphylaxis events reported until Induction Phase (Part 1) completion at home and hospital setting per subject in both groups, rush vs conventional
Comparison of the median threshold change between baseline double blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) and maximum tolerated dose (mg of protein) between rush and conventional protocol subjects at the end of the study (7 months of treatment)
Comparison of the median number of days needed in both groups, rush vs conventional, to complete the Induction Phase (Part 1) in subjects accomplishing this outcome
