Study Summary

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled food challenge to be conducted in infants and children with confirmed IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA), followed by a 7-day open feeding of the experimental formula.

  1. Physician diagnosis of IgE-mediated CMA, according to the participant'sclinical history (e.g. gastrointestinal symptoms, hives, respiratory symptomsor angioedema) AND, detectable serum milk-specific IgE >0.7 kUᴀ/L or positiveskin prick test wheal ≥5 mm;

  2. Documentation of milk-specific serum IgE >15 kUᴀ/L or > 5 kUᴀ/L if younger than 1 year;

  3. Documented cow's milk skin prick test wheal >10mm;

  4. Physician-supervised oral food challenge that elicited immediate, objective,allergic symptoms.
