Description

Summary

This clinical research study investigates the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a peanut SLIT-tablet in adults, adolescents, and children with peanut allergy.

Official Title

A Phase I/II Trial in 3 Parts Assessing the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of a Once-daily Peanut Sublingual Immunotherapy (SLIT) Tablet in Adults, Adolescents, and Children With Peanut Allergy

Details

This is a phase I/II, dose-escalation, multi-site trial including subjects with peanut allergy confirmed by screening double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge. The trial is conducted in 3 parts; part 1 will determine the entry dose of the up-dosing regimen (UDR) in adults and adolescents; part 2 will characterize the tolerability of the up-dosing regimen in adults, adolescents and children; part 3 will evaluate the efficacy of 2 maintenance doses of the SLIT-tablet primarily in adolescents and children; a small number of adults may also be included.

Peanut SLIT tablets administered as 9 doses covering a 4000-fold increase in dose will be used in the study.

In part 1, subjects will receive a peanut SLIT-tablet with one of five doses once daily for 2 weeks.

In part 2, subjects will receive a series of increasing doses of the peanut SLIT-tablet, where each dose is taken once daily for 2 weeks. The entry dose for the up-dosing regimen will be determined from part 1.

In part 3, subjects will be randomized into 3 treatment groups (UDR and Maintenance A, UDR and Maintenance B, Placebo UDR and Placebo). Subjects will receive a series of increasing doses of the peanut SLIT-tablet , where each dose is taken once daily for 2 weeks, followed by Maintenance A or B once daily for 24 weeks; or the corresponding Placebo.

The trial will consist of up to 10 cohorts (part 1 is cohort 1-5; part 2 is cohort 6-10) and 3 treatment groups in part 3.
