Trial Outcomes & Findings for FARE Peanut SLIT and Early Tolerance Induction (NCT NCT02304991)

NCT ID: NCT02304991

Last Updated: 2022-01-10

Results Overview

The primary outcome of this study will be a statistically significant difference in the challenge score of the treatment group versus the placebo group during DBPCFC after 36 months of peanut SLIT (desensitization). DBPCFC Challenge Score scale: Minimum score = 0; Maximum score = 7 Larger challenge score equals more successful desensitization. 0mg = 0; 3mg = 1; 13mg = 2; 43mg = 3; 143mg = 4; 443mg = 5; 1443mg = 6; and 4443mg = 7.

Peanut (Liquid Peanut Extract) SLIT
After the Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC), subjects randomized 1:1 to active or placebo drug product. Subjects randomized to peanut SLIT therapy will dose for 36 months and undergo a second DBPCFC. The subjects will stop dosing for three months and repeat a DBPCFC at 39 months. Liquid Peanut Extract: 5000mcg/ml peanut protein
Placebo Glycerin SLIT
After the Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC), subjects randomized 1:1 to active or placebo drug product. Subjects randomized to placebo glycerin SLIT will dose for 36 months and undergo a second DBPCFC. The subjects will stop dosing for three months and repeat a DBPCFC at 39 months. Placebo Glycerin SLIT: pure glycerinated saline solution with caramel coloring to match color

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 36 months

Population: Intent to treat; participants not completing the DBPCFC considered to have challenge score of zero

The primary outcome of this study will be a statistically significant difference in the challenge score of the treatment group versus the placebo group during DBPCFC after 36 months of peanut SLIT (desensitization). DBPCFC Challenge Score scale: Minimum score = 0; Maximum score = 7 Larger challenge score equals more successful desensitization. 0mg = 0; 3mg = 1; 13mg = 2; 43mg = 3; 143mg = 4; 443mg = 5; 1443mg = 6; and 4443mg = 7.
