Omalizumab to Accelerate a Symptom-driven Multi-food OIT
Sponsor: Philippe Bégin
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.
Official title: A 15 Months, Double-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing 20 Weeks of Two Dosages of Omalizumab to Placebo to Accelerate a Symptom-driven Oral Immunotherapy Schedule in Subjects Aged 6 to 25 Years With Multiple Food Allergies

Interventions
Omalizumab 16mg/kg
Participants will receive omalizumab 16 mg/kg monthly doses for 12 weeks, followed by omalizumab 8 mg/kg monthly for 4 weeks and then omalizumab 4 mg/kg monthly for 4 weeks, for a total of 20 weeks including a taper period.
Omalizumab 8mg/kg
Participants will receive omalizumab 8 mg/kg monthly doses for 12 weeks, followed by omalizumab 4 mg/kg monthly for 4 weeks and then omalizumab 2 mg/kg monthly for 4 weeks, for a total of 20 weeks including a taper period.
Placebo
Participants will receive placebo for 8 weeks prior to the initiation of oral immunotherapy and 12 weeks after for a total of 20 weeks including a taper period.
Multi-food oral immunotherapy (OIT)
Multi-food oral immunotherapy will be conducted to a mix of three foods. It will be started 8 weeks after study drug with an initial food escalation. Participants will undergo biweekly increase until they tolerate a maintenance dose of 1500 mg (500 mg per food) of food protein.
