Can a new injection raise the peanut allergy safety threshold?
NCT ID NCT07785063
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing an investigational drug called LP-003, a type of antibody that may block allergic responses. The goal is to see if it can increase the amount of peanut protein that people with peanut allergy can eat without having allergic symptoms. The study involves about 80 participants aged 12 to 55 with a confirmed peanut allergy. They will receive either LP-003 or a placebo by injection under the skin every 8 weeks for 24 weeks, and then be tested with a supervised food challenge to see how much peanut protein they can tolerate.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LP-003, a humanized anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, given as a subcutaneous injection every 8 weeks
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a treatment that raises the threshold of peanut protein people with allergies can tolerate, reducing the risk of severe reactions from accidental exposure.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage (Phase 2) trial with a modest number of participants. The effect may be modest or not translate to real-world protection, and there are risks of allergic reactions during food challenges.

Briefing Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 12 years and ≤ 55 years, regardless of gender. 2. Documented medical history of allergy to peanuts or peanut-containing foods. 3. Peanut sIgE ≥ 0.35 kUA/L at Screening Visit 1. 4. Positive SPT for peanut allergens at Screening Visit 1. 5. A positive peanut DBPCFC at baseline (Screening Visit 2) defined as the occurrence of dose-limiting symptoms at a single dose ≤ 100 mg of peanut protein. Eligibility to proceed with the DBPCFC requires fulfillment of all other eligibility criteria. 6. Participants agree to avoid exposure to the corresponding allergens and any other peanut foods that may cause allergies throughout the study period. 7. Participants have no plans for pregnancy and agree to use effective contraception during the trial and for until 6 months after the last administration of the investigational product. 8. Participants and/or their parents/legal guardians are able to understand and voluntarily sign the informed consent form. Briefing Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of hypersensitivity to LP-003 and its excipients and other biologics (i.e. Omalizumab or to other murine, chimeric or human antibodies). 2. Hypersensitivity or suspected/known allergy to any of the matrix components used within the material for oral food challenge (excluding the test allergens peanut etc.). 3. History of severe allergic reactions or anaphylaxis (anaphylactic shock) to participant-specific foods (i.e. peanut) in this study, defined as neurological damage or requiring intubation. 4. Uncontrolled asthma at the screening according to the 2025 GINA Severe Asthma Guide. 5. Current use of oral, IM, or IV corticosteroid, tricyclic antidepressants, or β-blockers (oral or topical). 6. Received oral, IM, or IV corticosteroids or tricyclic antidepressants for an indication other than asthma/wheezing within 30 days prior to screening. 7. Current or previous history of a mast cell disorder, including mastocytosis. 8. Inability to discontinue antihistamines for the minimum wash-out periods required for SPTs or DBPCFCs. 9. Participants who have used immune modulate biologics (e.g., Omalizumab, Dupixent, anti-IL-5) within 6 months prior to screening or within 5 half-lives (whichever is longer). 10. Participated in other clinical trials of medications within 3 months prior to screening or within 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer). 11. Participants who have undergone immunotherapy for any food related to the study within the past 6 months (e.g., oral immunotherapy \[OIT\], sublingual immunotherapy \[SLIT\]). 12. Currently on "build-up phase" of inhalant allergen immunotherapy (i.e., has not reach maintenance dosing). Note: individuals on stable maintenance dosing can be enrolled. 13. Participants with severe peanut-related eczema, herpetiform dermatitis, eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, colitis, peanut FPIES, or other gastrointestinal diseases. 14. Significant screening laboratory abnormalities, serious medical conditions (e.g., severe arrhythmia, uncontrolled hypertension, severe pulmonary disease), or lab abnormalities judged by the investigator to jeopardize safe study participation. 15. History of malignancy was diagnosed within the past 5 years. 16. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or participants planning to become pregnant during the study period. 17. Any other circumstances that the investigator considers may make the participant unsuitable for participation in the trial.
