Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Oral Encapsulated Microbiota Transplantation Therapy in Peanut Allergic Patients
Sponsor: Rima Rachid
Summary
This is a phase II trial that aims at evaluating the safety and tolerability of oral encapsulated fecal microbial transplantation therapy (MTT) in peanut allergic patients. In this research the investigators would like to learn more about ways to treat peanut allergies. The primary objective for Part A is to evaluate whether MTT with antibiotic pretreatment can increase the threshold of peanut reactivity during a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge from \<=100 mg peanut protein to 300 mg after 28 days of MTT /placebo therapy and 4 months post therapy initiation. The primary objective for Part B is to evaluate whether MTT with antibiotic pretreatment can lead to sustained unresponsiveness (SU) defined as tolerating the same dose of peanut protein administered during a food challenge at baseline and 12 weeks after OIT cessation.

Interventions
Microbial Transplantation Therapy
Participants randomized to the MTT/antibiotic arm of PART A will be administered oral MTT capsules over the course of 28 days. Participant enrolled on PART B will be administered oral MTT capsules over the course of 28 days.
Antibiotic
Participants randomized to the MTT/antibiotic arm of PART A will receive oral antibiotics for 7 days prior to the MTT administration visit. Participant enrolled on PART B will receive oral antibiotics for 7 days prior to the MTT administration visit.
Placebo (in place of MTT)
Participants randomized to the placebo arm of PART A will be administered oral placebo capsules in place of MTT over the course of 28 days.
Placebo (in place of antibiotics)
Participants randomized to the placebo arm of PART A will receive oral placebo in place of antibiotics for 7 days prior to the MTT administration visit.
Oral Immunotherapy (OIT)
Participant enrolled on PART B will be on maintenance peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) for their clinical care.
