['viaskin milk 500 mcg', 'viaskin placebo']

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Well-documented medical history of Eosinophilic Esophagitis after ingestion of milk
             and currently following a strict milk-free diet.

          -  Upper endoscopy and biopsy at initial clinical evaluation during Visit 2 showing
             greater than 15 eosinophils/high power field (HPF) isolated to the esophagus meeting
             the consensus diagnosis of Eosinophilic Esophagitis, after milk was re-introduced into
             the subject's diet (30 ml/day for 1 week to 2 months), while the subject was on proton
             pump inhibitor.

          -  Upper endoscopy and biopsy at second clinical evaluation during Visit 3 showing less
             than 5 eosinophils per HPF isolated to the esophagus after a minimum of 6 weeks under
             milk-free diet, and while the subject is on proton pump inhibitor.

          -  Negative pregnancy test for female subjects of childbearing potential. Females of
             childbearing potential must use effective method of contraception to prevent pregnancy
             and agree to continue to practice an acceptable method of contraception for the
             duration of participation in the study. Sexual abstinence will be accepted as an
             effective method of contraception for girls below 18 years of age.

             their participation in the study.

             assent.

          -  Subjects agree to maintain a constant diet during the trial, with the exception of
             milk.

          -  Subjects will maintain constant medications for asthma and allergic rhinitis during
             the trial.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Subjects with a history of severe anaphylaxis to milk with the following symptoms:
             hypotension, hypoxia, neurological compromise (collapse, loss of consciousness or
             incontinence), Quincke Edema or requiring intubation.

          -  Active IgE- mediated milk allergy.

          -  Pregnancy or lactation.

             The Investigator will have to ensure that the period for conducting the upper
             endoscopy for such a subject will be outside of the pollen season.

          -  Subjects with asthma conditions defined as follows:

               1. Uncontrolled persistent asthma by National Asthma Education and Prevention

               2. at least two systemic corticosteroid courses for asthma in the past year or one
                  oral corticosteroid course for asthma in the past three months;

               3. prior intubation for asthma in the past two years.

             year prior to Visit 1.
