Experimental cocktail aims to silence Life-Threatening food allergies
NCT ID NCT06369467
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage study tests two drugs together—linvoseltamab and dupilumab—in just 6 adults with severe food allergies. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and can lower IgE antibodies that trigger allergic reactions. Participants must have a history of anaphylaxis to foods like peanuts, milk, or shellfish. The trial focuses on safety and side effects, not yet on curing the allergy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- linvoseltamab and dupilumab
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to reduce or eliminate severe allergic reactions to foods like peanuts, milk, and shellfish.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, tiny Phase 1 trial with only 6 people. It is primarily checking safety, not effectiveness. The combination may cause side effects or fail to reduce allergies.

Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. Clinical history of documented, ongoing, severe IgE-mediated allergy to food (peanut, hazelnut, walnut, cashew, milk, egg/egg white, soy, wheat, sesame, cod, salmon, tuna, lobster, crab and/or shrimp; documented symptom\[s\] of anaphylaxis due to exposure) 2. History of physician reported anaphylaxis to food requiring epinephrine administration and/or requiring an emergency visit or inpatient hospitalization 3. Participants with dupilumab-indicated atopic dermatitis (AD) must be receiving DUPIXENT as standard of care for the treatment of AD for a minimum of 12 weeks prior to screening OR Participants with dupilumab-indicated eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) must be receiving DUPIXENT as standard of care for the treatment of EoE for a minimum of 12 weeks prior to screening OR Must be willing to initiate dupilumab treatment for food allergy 4. Participants initiating dupilumab treatment must agree to remain on dupilumab for the duration of the combination study treatment and safety follow-up periods. Participants who elect to enter the linvoseltamab re-dosing period, must also remain on continuous dupilumab treatment as outlined. Participants on commercial DUPIXENT must agree to remain on their prescribed dose, as described in the protocol, for the duration of the combination study treatment period 5. Participant must be willing to use an epinephrine auto-injector device 6. Participant must be willing to receive booster and/or re-vaccination(s), including for live (attenuated) vaccinations, based on results of vaccine antibody titers and investigator opinion 7. Has a body mass index between 18 and 32 kilogram per square metre (kg/m2), inclusive Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Pregnant or breastfeeding women 2. History of chronic disease (other than AD or EoE) requiring therapy (eg, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension) that, in the opinion of the principal investigator, would represent a risk to the participant's health or safety in this study or the participant's ability to comply with the study protocol. Participants on DUPIXENT for conditions other than AD or EoE (eg, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, prurigo nodularis, etc) are excluded 3. Known or suspected progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), or history of PML, neurodegenerative condition, central nervous system (CNS) movement disorder, or seizure within 12 months prior to Day 1 4. Recent history (within past 30 days) of a grade 3 or grade 4 gastrointestinal bleed, history of inflammatory bowel disease or severe diverticulitis or previous gastrointestinal perforation 5. History of moderate or severe asthma based on the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines 6. Pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) \<80% of predicted using local reference values 7. Any prior exposure to a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) targeted therapy 8. Use of systemic corticosteroids within 2 months prior to screening 9. Use of other forms of allergen immunotherapy (eg, oral, SC, patch, or sublingual) or immunomodulatory therapy (not including corticosteroids) within 4 months prior to screening 10. Unwilling to discontinue use of antihistamines within 5 days prior to screening and within 5 days prior to skin prick test (SPT) 11. Hypersensitivity to epinephrine and any of the excipients in the epinephrine product 12. Within the previous 2 months of the screening visit has a history of bacterial, protozoal, viral or parasite infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with IV anti-infectives 13. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or HIV seropositivity at the screening visit NOTE: Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria apply
