Peanut allergy patch enters human safety trials
NCT ID NCT07580898
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing whether a microneedle patch called MOON101, which delivers tiny amounts of peanut protein into the skin, is safe for people with peanut allergies. The study will enroll 40 participants, including adults, teenagers, and children. Each person will receive both the active patch and a placebo patch to compare side effects. The main goal is to check for any harmful reactions and find the highest dose that people can tolerate without serious symptoms.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- peanut extract applied via a microneedle stamp
- What this could lead to
- If safe, this could pave the way for a treatment that reduces peanut allergy reactions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 1 safety study with only 40 people, so it may not lead to an effective treatment. Allergic reactions to the patch itself are possible.
