Plain-language summary
This is a phase 2, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, 2 arm study in approximately 40 subjects aged 4 to 50 years, inclusive, who are allergic to cow's milk. The primary objective is to assess whether dupilumab as an adjunct to milk oral immunotherapy (OIT) compared to placebo improves the safety of milk OIT and rates of desensitization, defined as an increase in the proportion of subjects who pass a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) to at least 2040 mg cumulative milk protein at week 18.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age 4 to 50 years (inclusive)
* Clinical history of allergy to cow's milk or milk-containing foods
* Serum IgE to milk of \>4 kUA/L within the last 12 months and/or a SPT to milk ≥6 mm compared to a negative control
* Experience clinical reaction at or before 444 mg cumulative protein dose of cow's milk protein on Screening DBPCFC
* No clinical reaction observed during the placebo (oat) Screening DBPCFC
* Subjects with other known food allergies must agree to eliminate these other food items from their diet so as not to confound the safety and efficacy data from the study
* Use of effective birth control by female participants of childbearing potential
Exclusion Criteria:
* Any previous exposure to dupilumab
* Known hypersensitivity to dupilumab or any of its excipients
* Known hypersensitivity to epinephrine or any of its excipients
* Allergy to oat (placebo in DBPCFC)
* History of severe anaphylaxis to cow's milk, defined as neurological compromise or requiring intubation
* Recent history of frequent severe, life-threatening episodes of anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock as defined as 3 or more episodes of anaphylaxis within the past year
* Inability to tolerate biological (antibody) therapies
* Body weight \<5 kg at the time of screening
* History of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), other eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease, chronic, recurrent, or severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), symptoms of dysphagia (e.g., difficulty swallowing, foo…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
