Abstract

Food allergy is a common disorder caused by unfavorable immunological reactions to dietary antigens. Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the most frequent forms of allergy which occurs in both adults and infants. As CMPA becomes more common in children, the research on its therapeutics is of great significance. Currently, oral immunotherapy (OIT) and dietary avoidance therapy are the most effective treatment options. OIT gradually introduces the allergen to induce a non-reactive state in the body to achieve therapeutic effects. Several clinical trials have demonstrated its significant therapeutic efficacy, enabling many patients to achieve desensitization, and even achieve sustained unresponsiveness. On the other hand, dietary avoidance therapy achieves desensitization effects by strictly controlling the diet to prevent one from being exposed to the allergen. This article provides a review of the latest research developments in the therapeutic efficacy, safety, and potential utility of OIT and dietary avoidance therapy in clinical practice, facilitating the promotion of a unified evaluation system for OIT and acceleration of food avoidance treatment cycles.
