Background In our recent clinical trial, the addition of omalizumab to oral immunotherapy
(OIT) for milk allergy improved safety, but no significant clinical benefit was detected.
Objective We sought to investigate mechanisms by which omalizumab modulates immunity
in the context of OIT and to identify baseline biomarkers that predict subgroups of patients
