This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting

By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested whether omalizumab (Xolair), an allergy drug, helps people with peanut and at least two other food allergies eat those foods without severe reactions. Over 470 participants aged 1 to 55 received omalizumab or a placebo, and some also got oral immunotherapy. The goal was to see if they could tolerate a dose of peanut protein without symptoms.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
omalizumab (Xolair) and multi-allergen oral immunotherapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a new treatment option to help people with multiple food allergies tolerate small amounts of allergenic foods without severe reactions.
What could go wrong
This is a completed phase 3 trial, but results may not apply to all food allergies or ages. Omalizumab is not a cure and requires ongoing injections; risks include allergic reactions and side effects from the drug.

Inclusion Criteria: Individuals who meet all of the following criteria are eligible for enrollment as study participants: 1. Participant and/or parent/legal guardian must be able to understand and provide informed consent and/or assent, as applicable; 2. Peanut allergic: participant must meet all of the following criteria to minimize the chance that the participant will develop natural tolerance to peanut over the course of the study: 1. Positive skin prick test (SPT) defined as ≥4 mm wheal greater than saline control) to peanut, 2. Positive peanut immunoglobulin E (IgE), ≥6 kUA/L, at Screening or within three months of Screening, determined by ImmunoCap, and 3. Positive double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC), defined as experiencing dose-limiting symptoms at a single dose of ≤100 mg of peanut protein. 3. Allergic to at least two of the six other foods (milk, egg, wheat, cashew, hazelnut, walnut): each participant must meet all of the following criteria for at least two of the six other foods to minimize the chance that the participant will develop natural tolerance to at least two of the six other foods over the course of the study: 1. Positive SPT (≥4 mm wheal) to food, 2. Positive food specific IgE (≥6 kUA/L) at Screening or within three months of Screening, determined by ImmunoCap, and 3. Positive DBPCFC, defined as experiencing dose-limiting symptoms at a single dose of ≤300 mg of food protein. 4. With body weight (as measured at Screening) and total serum IgE level (as measured within three months of Screening) suitable for omalizumab dosing; 5. If female of child-bearing potential, must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test; 6. For women of childbearing potential, must agree to,during the treatment period and for 60 days after the last dose of study drug: * remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse), or * use acceptable contraceptive methods (barrier methods, or * oral, injected, or implanted hormonal methods of contraception, or * other forms of hormonal contraception that have comparable efficacy). 7. Plan to remain in the study area of an OUtMATCH clinical research unit (CRU) during the trial; and 8. Be willing to be trained on the proper use of an epinephrine autoinjector for the duration of the study. Exclusion Criteria: Individuals who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for enrollment as study participants: 1. Inability or unwillingness of a participant and/or parent/legal guardian to give written informed consent and/or assent or comply with the study protocol; 2. Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at Screening; 3. Dose-limiting symptoms to the placebo portion of the Screening DBPCFC; 4. Sensitivity or suspected/known allergy to any ingredients (including excipients) of the * active or placebo oral food challenge (OFC) material, * multi-allergen oral immunotherapy (OIT), or * drugs related to omalizumab (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal gamma globulin). * Note: Guidance for determination of sensitivity to excipients will be detailed in the study's Manual of Procedures (MOP). 5. Poorly controlled atopic dermatitis (AD) at Screening, per the Principal Investigator's PI's) discretion; 6.

History of severe anaphylaxis to participant-specific foods that will be used in this study, defined as neurological compromise or requiring intubation; 8. Treatment with a burst of oral, intramuscular (IM), or intravenous (IV) steroids of more than two days for an indication other than asthma/wheezing within 30 days of Screening; 9. Currently receiving oral, intramuscular, or intravenous corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressants, or beta-blockers (oral or topical); 10.

Treatment with monoclonal antibody therapy, such as omalizumab (Xolair®), dupilumab (Dupixent®), benralizumab (Fasenra™), mepolizumab (Nucala®), reslizumab (Cinqair®), or other immunomodulatory therapy within six months of Screening; 15. Currently on "build-up phase" of inhalant allergen immunotherapy (i.e., has not reached maintenance dosing). Note: Individuals tolerating maintenance allergen immunotherapy can be enrolled; 16. Inability to discontinue antihistamines for the minimum wash-out periods required for SPTs,or OFCs; 17. Current participation in another therapeutic or interventional clinical trial or participation within 90 days of Screening; 18. Use of investigational drugs within 24 weeks of Screening; 19.
