Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oral Desensitization to Peanut in Peanut-Allergic Children and Adults Using Characterized Peanut Allergen OIT (NCT NCT01987817)

NCT ID: NCT01987817

Last Updated: 2021-11-30

Results Overview

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)

Participant Flow

A total of 67 subjects signed the informed consent and went through the screening process. 11 subjects failed screening, resulting in 56 subjects being enrolled and initially randomized. The randomized population comprised 29 subjects in the AR101 group and 27 subjects in the placebo group. The final intent-to-treat (ITT) population (subjects who received at least 1 dose of randomized study treatment) had one fewer subject in the placebo group (n=26).
