Salvage Peanut Oral Immunotherapy Study

Study Purpose

The purpose of this trial is to study the safety of rescue peanut oral immunotherapy followed by the introduction of dietary peanut for patients with peanut allergy who have lost desensitization during a peanut immunotherapy trial.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03251508
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Peanut Allergy
Additional Details

Salvage Peanut Oral Immunotherapy Study is a single-arm, open label trial of peanut flour oral immunotherapy (OIT) administered for 6 months followed by introduction of dietary peanut for an additional 6 months. The peanut OIT phase will involve approximately 3 months of dose escalation up to a maintenance dose of 300 mg peanut protein. This is followed by 3 months of daily maintenance dosing with 300 mg of peanut protein. Patients are then transitioned to the dietary peanut phase ingesting common foods containing approximately 300 mg of peanut protein daily. Safety will be assessed during both peanut OIT and dietary peanut phases with adverse events recorded including gastrointestinal side effects. They will also be monitored for any anaphylaxis or injectable epinephrine administration. Data regarding compliance with peanut OIT will be collected as well.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Peanut OIT/dietary peanut

Single arm study with all subjects receiving peanut OIT study drug for the initial 6 months. This is followed by daily ingestion of common dietary foods containing approximately 300 mg of peanut protein for an additional 6 months.

Interventions

Drug: - Peanut OIT

Participants will be given increasing doses of the peanut flour as peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) with increasing doses every 2 weeks over a period of 3 months up to a 300 mg target dose. This 300 mg peanut OIT maintenance dose is then continued daily for 3 months. Participants will then introduce dietary peanut of approximately 300 mg of peanut protein and continue daily ingestion for an additional 6 months.
