Phase I Trial to Evaluate VLP Peanut in Healthy and Peanut Allergic Subjects

This phase I clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VLP Peanut in healthy subjects and in subjects with peanut allergy (PA). This clinical trial will evaluate the immunotoxicity profile of VLP Peanut in healthy subjects and assess the immunotoxicity profile and the degree of reactogenicity (allergenicity) in subjects with PA. This clinical trial will also explore preliminary proof of efficacy of VLP Peanut in subjects with PA.

Comparing Standard and Autoclaved Peanut Oral Immunotherapy in People With Peanut Allergy

Peanut allergy can cause serious and potentially life-threatening allergic reactions. Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is an investigational treatment that involves giving small, gradually increasing amounts of peanut protein to help reduce allergic sensitivity. However, OIT may cause allergic reactions during treatment. This Phase II clinical trial will compare two forms of peanut used for oral immunotherapy: standard blanched peanuts and autoclaved peanuts (peanuts heated under high temperature and pressure to modify their proteins). Participants aged 4 to 30 years with confirmed peanut allergy will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two treatments. The study will evaluate safety, tolerability, adherence, and the ability to tolerate a higher amount of peanut protein after 12 months of therapy. The goal is to determine whether autoclaved peanuts provide a safer and better tolerated approach to peanut oral immunotherapy.

Investigating Modified Protocols of Oral Immunotherapy to Validate Efficacy and Safety

Protocols for Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for the main food allergens have been recently incorporated in clinical practice for food allergies and their clinical benefits have been acknowledged in European and Canadian official guidelines. There has been some reluctance in both clinicians and patients to implement these therapies, primarily because of the risk of allergic reactions during the desensitization process. This study will investigate if protocols using low doses of a food allergen or processed versions of the allergen can be both effective in conferring desensitization while inducing fewer allergic symptoms during the desensitization process.

Efficacy of Tezepelumab in Peanut Oral Immunotherapy

The proposed study is a proof-of-concept Phase 2, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of tezepelumab and peanut Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for the treatment of peanut allergy. Study participation is divided into 3 periods: (i) a monotherapy period comprised of injections of either Tezepelumab or placebo from week 0 to week 8, (ii) followed by a combination therapy period comprised of 56 weeks during which peanut OIT is built up and maintained, and (iii) a treatment withdrawal period comprised of 12 weeks. This study will enroll 62 peanut-allergic individuals from 12 to 55 years of age who experience dose-limiting symptoms to \<=100 mg of peanut protein in a single dose (\<= 144 mg cumulative dose) as assessed by DBPCFC. The primary objective is to determine whether 56 weeks of tezepelumab plus peanut OIT as compared to 56 weeks of placebo plus peanut OIT induces sustained unresponsiveness to peanut 12 weeks after stopping combination therapy.

A Safety and Efficacy Study of PVX108 in Children and Adolescents With Peanut Allergy

The overall aims of this study are to demonstrate that treatment with PVX108 immunotherapy has an acceptable safety profile and is effective for reducing clinical reactivity to peanut protein in children and adolescents with peanut allergy.

Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Oral Encapsulated Microbiota Transplantation Therapy in Peanut Allergic Patients

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.

Study of ENP-501 in Peanut-Allergic and Non-Allergic Participants

This is a Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of ENP-501 in non-peanut allergic (NPA) healthy participants and participants with an established peanut allergy (PA)

Using Commonly Available Food Products To Treat Food Allergy

Food allergy affects 1 in 30 children, and is the commonest trigger for life-threatening reactions (anaphylaxis) in this age group. It is a major public health issue, with practical implications for industry, education and healthcare systems. Oral immunotherapy (OIT) is an emerging treatment option, where small, increasing doses of a food allergen are used to cause "desensitisation", so food-allergic individuals no longer have symptoms when exposed to the trigger food. However, frequent allergic reactions during OIT (including anaphylaxis) are common, and can lead to patients having to stop treatment. In addition, food-allergic children usually dislike the taste of the food they are allergic too, which affects compliance and treatment success. There is a lack of longer-term data to inform cost-effectiveness analyses for OIT. The NATASHA study will recruit young people from age 6+ years with IgE-mediated peanut allergy, and young people aged 3+ years with IgE-mediated allergy to cow's milk, who will undergo oral immunotherapy for these allergens using real-world foods (taken carefully according to a standardised protocol under medical supervision). In addition to assessing efficacy and safety outcomes, we will also collect longer-term data to evaluate cost-effectiveness in the UK setting.

Oral Immunotherapy for Young Children With Peanut Allergy - Small Children OIT

Open label study with peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT). Peanut allergic children aged 1-3 years of age will be randomized 2:1 to: 1. Peanut OIT with slow up-dosing (40-60 weeks) up to a maintenance dose of 285 mg daily oral peanut protein or 2. Control group with peanut allergic children who do not undergo OIT. 3. In addition, a group of healthy children without allergic diseases will be included in the study. The primary outcome is tolerance to at least 750 mg peanut protein at a challenge after 3 years and sustained unresponsiveness (i.e. tolerance) to 750 mg peanut protein after 3 years of OIT followed by 4-6 weeks of avoidance. Efficacy and safety will be compared between group 1 and 2. Group 3 is a control group for analyses of immunological markers.

Immune-supportive Diet and Gut Permeability in Allergic Children

Peanut and nut allergy can be life threatening. Some patients have very low threshold levels (i.e. the amounts of peanut and nuts to which the patients react), others react to higher doses. The reasons for these differences in threshold are not well understood. Patients with peanut and nut allergy often suffer from other allergic diseases (atopic dermatitis, hay fever and asthma). A disturbed gut microbiota composition and an increased gut permeability may explain the development of allergic disease. We hypothesize that increased gut permeability is related to low threshold levels to peanuts or nuts. In addition, as it is known that nutrition can influence our gut permeability, we also hypothesize that a healthful immune-supportive diet restores gut permeability and alleviates symptoms. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to study in peanut and nut allergic children: 1. the relationship between gut permeability and threshold levels to peanut or nuts; 2. the effect of an immune-supportive diet on gut permeability, gut microbiome composition, coexisting allergic symptoms and quality of life

Oral Immunotherapy for Peanut Allergic Patients

Multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase I/II study to determine the safety, tolerability, potential efficacy and dose finding of INP20, an oral immunotherapy in peanut-allergic patients. The overall study design consists of two sequential periods of Part A and Part B. Part A is a dose escalation study in patients from 12 to 65 years old with a history of immediate hypersensitive reaction to peanut protein. Six diferent oral-dose of INP20 will be administered to 6 cohorts of patients once daily for 2 weeks. Part B is a 6-month double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized and parallel groups study. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into three (3) different treatment groups, including placebo and the two doses of peanut protein selected from Part A. They will recieve INP20 once daily for 6 months.
