NCT ID NCT07349212
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new injection called UKK-0018 for people with peanut allergies. The goal is to train the immune system to handle peanut exposure without a severe reaction. The trial involves 40 adults aged 18-55 and will first check safety, then see if it helps increase the amount of peanut protein they can tolerate.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- UKK-0018 (an immunotherapeutic injection)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a treatment that reduces the risk of severe allergic reactions to peanuts, making accidental exposure less dangerous.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1/2 trial with only 40 people, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. It may not work for everyone, and side effects are possible.
