Detailed Description

This is a phase I/II, dose-escalation, multi-site trial including subjects with peanut allergy confirmed by screening double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge. The trial is conducted in 3 parts; part 1 will determine the entry dose of the up-dosing regimen (UDR) in adults and adolescents; part 2 will characterize the tolerability of the up-dosing regimen in adults, adolescents and children; part 3 will evaluate the efficacy of 2 maintenance doses of the SLIT-tablet primarily in adolescents and children; a small number of adults may also be included. Peanut SLIT tablets administered as 9 doses covering a 4000-fold increase in dose will be used in the study. In part 1, subjects will receive a peanut SLIT-tablet with one of five doses once daily for 2 weeks. In part 2, subjects will receive a series of increasing doses of the peanut SLIT-tablet, where each dose is taken once daily for 2 weeks. The entry dose for the up-dosing regimen will be determined from part 1. In part 3, subjects will be randomized into 3 treatment groups (UDR and Maintenance A, UDR and Maintenance B, Placebo UDR and Placebo). Subjects will receive a series of increasing doses of the peanut SLIT-tablet , where each dose is taken once daily for 2 weeks, followed by Maintenance A or B once daily for 24 weeks; or the corresponding Placebo. The trial will consist of up to 10 cohorts (part 1 is cohort 1-5; part 2 is cohort 6-10) and 3 treatment groups in part 3.
