Purpose

A study to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of remibrutinib at three doses versus placebo in adult participants who have a confirmed allergy to peanuts. The efficacy was measured by the ability of participants to tolerate increasing doses of peanut protein during an oral food challenge after 1 month of study treatment.

Detailed Description

This was a randomized, participant- and investigator-blinded, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of oral LOU064 versus placebo across five treatment arms in participants with a medically confirmed diagnosis of IgE-mediated peanut allergy for one-month treatment period (up to 5 weeks). Participants had oral food challenges at the beginning of the study and at the end of the treatment period to assess their symptoms from increasing doses of peanut allergen.
