Overview
Brief Summary
This study will determine the dose-related efficacy of a 20-week treatment of omalizumab started 8 weeks before the onset of a symptom-driven multi-food oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocol at decreasing time to OIT maintenance dose. Two dosages of omalizumab will be compared to placebo during an oral immunotherapy protocol for three simultaneous food allergens.
Detailed Description
This is a phase 2b, multi-center randomized controlled trial comparing 2 doses of omalizumab to placebo in subjects 6 to 25 years old with multiple food allergies undergoing a symptom-driven multi-food OIT protocol. Subjects will undergo a screening period involving a DBPCFC to a mix of three allergens which will determine their eligibility and eliciting dose. Eligible subjects will be randomized to one of 2 omalizumab dosages or placebo at a ratio of 2:2:1 for a total period of 20 weeks. They will undergo initial food escalation (IFE) to determine their starting food treatment mix dose for three simultaneous food allergens after a pre-treatment period of 8 weeks with the study drug. Subjects will undergo up-dosing OIT visits at the clinic every two weeks, until a maintenance dose of 1500mg of protein (500mg per food) is reached (primary endpoint).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To determine the efficacy of omalizumab at decreasing time-to-maintenance during a symptom-driven multi-food OIT protocol.
Time Frame: Assessed up to 52 weeks after IFE
Time from IFE to target multi-food protein maintenance dose of 1500 mg of total food protein
Secondary Outcomes
- Average up-dosing speed while on study drug.(From week 0 to week 12 post IFE)
- Change in reactivity threshold to food treatment mix after pre-treatment with study drug.(Measured 8 weeks after starting investigational product)
- Mean cumulative function of allergic adverse events attributable to food dosing throughout the trial.(For one year following IFE)
- Rate of treatment failure(At any time during the 12-month OIT phase)
