Number of participants that the trial has enrolled

101

Results

We recruited 101 infants with atopic dermatitis, and 85 were analyzed. Ten tested positive for hen's egg and three for cow's milk in the oral food challenge (OFC). Specific IgE to egg white, ovalbumin, and ovomucoid were higher in the OFC-positive group, while IgG4 tended to be higher in the OFC-negative group. Due to the small number of cow's milk OFC-positive cases, no significant differences were found for cow's milk components.

Baseline Characteristics

Infants diagnosed with atopic dermatitis based on the U.K. Working Party's diagnostic criteria who met one of the following conditions were enrolled:
(1) Infants younger than 5 months of age who had not yet started complementary feeding;
(2) Infants younger than 8 months of age with suspected hen's egg or cow's milk allergy;
(3) Infants younger than 8 months of age with an Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) score of 7 or higher.

Participant flow

A total of 101 infants with atopic dermatitis were recruited. Blood sampling, clinical examination, and questionnaires were conducted at 4, 7, 10, and 12 months of age. At 12 months, oral food challenge (OFC) tests with hen's egg and cow's milk were performed. Eighty-five infants who completed all assessments were included in the final analysis.

Adverse events

none

Outcome measures

Primary Outcomes

Presence or absence of IgE-mediated allergy to hen's egg or cow's milk at 12 months of age, as determined by oral food challenge (OFC)
Longitudinal measurement of allergen-specific IgE and IgG subclasses (IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4) to hen's egg and cow's milk allergens and avidity of IgE at 4, 7, 10, and 12 months of age
Secondary Outcomes

Comparison of eczema severity and changes in specific IgE/IgE avidity at 7 months of age between infants who developed food allergy and those who did not
Eczema severity and related biomarkers (EASI score, serum TARC) at 4, 7, 10, and 12 months of age
Anaphylaxis Scoring Aichi (ASCA) score and TS/Pro (total ASCA score per cumulative protein dose) during OFC
Intake status and allergic symptoms related to foods other than hen's egg and cow's milk

Other related information

Infants under 5 months of age with a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis before weaning are enrolled in the study. Blood samplings are performed at 3-5 months of age, 6-8 months of age, 9-11 months of age, and 12-14 months of age. Severity of atopic dermatitis and weaning diet history are also recorded at the same time points. At 12-14 months,oral food challenge tests of eggs and milk are performed to confirm presence/absence of food allergy. IgE antibody quality and quantity and class switch patterns are analysed to test whether the biomarkers predict food allergy development.
