About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Oral Desensitization to Peanut in Peanut-Allergic Children and Adults Using Characterized Peanut Allergen Oral Immunotherapy

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled study of efficacy and safety of characterized peanut oral immunotherapy in peanut allergic individuals.

Read the detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled study of efficacy and safety of characterized peanut OIT in peanut allergic individuals. All eligible subjects will receive an escalating dose of CPNA or placebo. Approximately 50 subjects will be randomized 1:1 to peanut OIT or placebo.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Percentage of Subjects Who Tolerate at Least 300 mg (443 mg Cumulative) of Peanut Protein With no More Than Mild Symptoms at the Exit DBPCFC

    The primary endpoint was the percentage of subjects who achieved desensitization, as determined by tolerating at least 300 mg (443 mg cumulative) of peanut protein at the Exit Double Blind Placebo Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) with no more than mild symptoms (i.e., desensitization responders)

    Measured: 6-9 Months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change From Baseline in Maximum Tolerated Dose of Peanut Protein at the Exit DBPCFC

    The change in maximum tolerated dose of peanut protein from baseline (screening) to the Exit Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge

    Measured: 6-9 months

  2. Number of Participants by Maximum Dose Achieved With no or Mild Symptoms at Exit DBPCFC

    Measured: 6-9 months

  3. Changes in Peanut-Specific IgE From Baseline to Exit DBPCFC

    Measured: 6-9 months

  4. Changes in Peanut-Specific IgG4 From Baseline to Exit DBPCFC

    Measured: 6-9 months

  5. Change in Skin Prick Test (SPT) Mean Peanut Wheal Diameter Results From Baseline

    Measured: Baseline, 6-9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AR101 powder provided in capsules in people with Peanut Allergy, run by Aimmune Therapeutics, Inc. at 8 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Nov 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Percentage of Subjects Who Tolerate at Least 300 mg (443 mg Cumulative) of Peanut Protein With no More Than Mild Symptoms at the Exit DBPCFC (time frame: 6-9 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01987817, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Nov 2021.
