About this study

Official title: Open Label Peanut Oral Immunotherapy in Children: IMPACT Follow Up Study

This application is being submitted as a follow-up to Protocol "Oral Immunotherapy for Induction of Tolerance in Peanut Allergic Children-The IMPACT Study." The IMPACT study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of peanut oral immunotherapy in children 12-48 months of age. As part this protocol, all participants who received placebo treatment were promised the opportunity to receive open label treatment at the conclusion of the double-blind phase and initial follow-up. At the time of submitting that protocol, the investigator did not specify any detailed protocol for the open label crossover treatment, as this is an evolving field, but the investigator is now ready to offer this open label treatment as promised.

Read the detailed description

This study will enroll up to 20 subjects aged 4-9 years old who were enrolled in the placebo arm of the IMPACT study.

Once subjects have completed participation in the IMPACT study, subjects will be offered the option of participating in this open label, peanut oral immunotherapy study.

After the informed consent has been signed, subjects will undergo an initial dose escalation to peanut protein to establish the starting dose for the build-up phase. The starting dose of peanut protein for the build-up phase will be the highest tolerated dose during the initial dose escalation. The subject will return to the study site and the first starting dose of peanut protein will be given under observation. Subjects will be sent home with doses of peanut protein to administer at home.

Subject will return every 2 weeks for dose adjustments. Once subjects have tolerated a dose under observation, subjects will then continue dosing at home with OIT and return to the research unit every 2 weeks for a 1-step dose escalation to a maximum daily dose of 1000 mg. Participants who do not reach the 1000mg dose by 40-weeks of build-up phase may enter the maintenance phase at their highest tolerated dose.

When subjects reach their maximum tolerated dose of either 1000 mg per day, or the maximum tolerated dose during the 40 weeks of the build-up phase, subjects will enter the maintenance phase. Subjects will continue daily dosing of peanut protein at the maximum tolerated dose during the 12-week maintenance phase.

At the end of the maintenance phase, subjects will undergo an open peanut oral food challenge to a maximum of 4000 mg of peanut protein to determine individualized guidelines for the introduction of peanut into the subject's diet based on the outcome of the open peanut challenge The primary objective of this protocol is to provide open label peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) for those subjects who received placebo treatment in the IMPACT Study .

Secondary objectives will include:

  1. Efficacy of the treatment, as defined by an end of treatment oral peanut challenge.

Safety, as measured by the incidence of adverse events and the proportion of subjects who discontinue treatment due to adverse events

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs)

    Number of participants who reported symptoms which were collected as AEs using CTCAE v4.0.

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Amount of Peanut Protein Tolerated at the End-of-treatment Peanut Challenge

    This measure assessed the amount of peanut protein [in milligrams (mg)] tolerated by each participant at the end-of-treatment peanut challenge.

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Peanut Flour in people with Treatment Efficacy, run by Johns Hopkins University at 1 site 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 29 Oct 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. 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 29 Oct 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: up to 52 weeks). 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 NCT03345160, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 29 Oct 2021.
