Can allergy drugs help kids tolerate peanut and more?

NCT ID NCT03679676

First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether adding the drugs omalizumab (Xolair) or dupilumab (Dupixent) to oral immunotherapy (OIT) helps people with multiple food allergies tolerate more allergens. 130 participants aged 4 to 55 with allergies to peanut plus one or two other foods were enrolled. The goal was to see if these biologics improve the success of passing a food challenge to peanut and other allergens.

Active substance
omalizumab (Xolair) and dupilumab (Dupixent)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a safer and more effective way to treat multiple food allergies at once, reducing the risk of severe allergic reactions.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial with a moderate number of participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The biologics can have side effects, and the treatment may not work for all allergens.
