About this study

The purpose of the study is to identify prognostic markers and possible success rate of tolerance induction to peanut allergens in children allergic to peanut.

Read the detailed description

The study is an open randomized controlled study on oral immunotherapy including 60 children (40 on active treatment, 20 controls) with primary peanut allergy. The study has 4 phases: 1: inclusion/randomization including a double blind placebo controlled food Challenge 2: bi weekly up-dosing to maintenance dose after 48 weeks, 3: maintenance period of 3 years 4: 1 year follow up after end of treatment.

Clinical parameters as well as immunological (serological and cellular) will be recorded at inclusion, after 3 months of up-dosing, at end of up-dosing, after 1 and 3 years of maintenance treatment and after 3 and 12 year of follow up.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants with successfull tolerance induction to peanut

    Measured: Data will be recorded for 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Clinical prognostic markers for successful tolerance induction to peanut

    Clinical markers like severity of peanut allergy during double blind placebo controlled food challenge (DBPCFC), threshold level on DBPCFC, side effects during up dosing, maximum peanut dose reached, concomitant other atopic diseases will be assessed

    Measured: Data will be recorded for 5 years

  2. Immunological prognostic markers for successful tolerance induction to peanut

    Immunologic markers: Immunoglobulin E (IgE) to peanut and its components, total IgE, Immunoglobulin G4 to peanut and its components, Basophil activation test will be assessed.

    Measured: Data will be recorded for 5 years

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with successfull tolerance induction to peanut (time frame: Data will be recorded for 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02457416, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
