A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Immune Response in Adolescents Allergic to Peanut After Receiving Intradermal Administration of ASP0892 (ARA-LAMP-vax), a Single Multivalent Peanut (Ara h1, h2, h3) Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein DNA Plasmid Vaccine

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP0892 after intradermal (ID) injection in adolescent participants with peanut allergy.

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.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: ASP0892 Low Dose (Cohort A)

Each cohort will consist of 10 participants (ASP0892 n = 8 and placebo n = 2). The data will be assessed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) after all enrolled cohort A participants complete visits through day 43. Assessments for safety, tolerability, and dose escalation will occur prior to beginning cohort B.

Experimental: ASP0892 High Dose (Cohort B)

After all participants in cohort A complete study procedures, the DMC will review the safety and tolerability data and provide recommendations depending on the nature, frequency and severity of the safety profile reviewed. Recommendations will be to proceed with escalation to the next higher dose or stop dose escalation (i.e., no further dosing with study drug).

Placebo Comparator: Placebo

Each cohort will consist of 10 participants (ASP0892 n = 8 and placebo n = 2). The data will be assessed by the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) after all enrolled cohort A participants complete visits through day 43. Assessments for safety, tolerability, and dose escalation will occur prior to beginning cohort B.

Interventions
