Salvage Peanut Oral Immunotherapy Study

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Peanut Allergy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03251508
Lead Sponsor
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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.
