Can a shot tame peanut allergies? small study tests xolair

NCT ID NCT00382148

First seen Jun 09, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 study tested the drug Xolair (omalizumab) in 11 people with peanut allergies who had already completed a previous trial. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce serious allergic reactions. Participants received regular injections of Xolair and reported any peanut exposures. The study was small and open-label, meaning everyone knew they were getting the drug, so results are preliminary.
