Food allergy drug safety trial ends early
NCT ID NCT05678959
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the long-term safety of ligelizumab, an injectable drug, in 163 people with food allergies who had already completed earlier Phase III studies. Participants received either 120 mg or 240 mg of ligelizumab every 4 weeks. The study was terminated, so full results are not available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ligelizumab (an injectable drug)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that ligelizumab is safe for long-term use and may help control food allergies.
- What could go wrong
- The study was terminated early, so results are limited. It is an extension study, not a new treatment test, and long-term safety is still uncertain.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Signed informed consent and or/assent (where applicable) obtained from participant/legal representative prior to enrolling in the rollover study and receiving study medication. If a minor participant providing assent reached the age of legal majority (as defined by local law), he/she was to be re-consented at the next study visit. * Participants had completed the treatment period in any ligelizumab's Phase III studies in food allergy. * Participants who were willing to adhere to the study visits and procedures, including receiving injections (study treatment) and participating in the OL-OFC (open label oral food challenge). * Participants who agreed to continue avoiding exposure to allergens (per core study) and any other foods they were allergic to throughout this study. * Participants who were able to safely continue into the study as judged by the investigator. Key Exclusion Criteria: * Development of a severe or life-threatening episode of an allergic reaction that required intubation and/or intensive care unit (ICU) admission during the core studies. * Development of a serious adverse event which was suspected to be related to the study treatment judged by the investigator during the core study. * Development of uncontrolled asthma during the core study that compromised the safety of the participants judged by the investigator. * Development of clinically significant cardiovascular, neurological, and or psychiatric conditions during the core study that could interfere with or compromise the safety of the participants, interfere with evaluation or interpretation of the study results or preclude completion of the study judged by the investigator. * Participants who failed to comply with the protocol requirements and procedures during the core study, and in the Investigator's opinion, should not participate in this extension study. * Platelets \<75,000/ul at end of treatment of the core study.
