Can a shot tame peanut allergies? small study tests xolair
NCT ID NCT00382148
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 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.
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)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a treatment that helps people with peanut allergies tolerate accidental exposure.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase study with only 11 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug also requires ongoing injections and is not a cure.

Inclusion Criteria: * Completion of last visit (or early termination visit, if applicable) for Study Q2788g * Signed Informed Consent Form * Use of an effective method of contraception for females of childbearing potential * Body weight ≥ 20 kg and ≤ 150 kg * IgE level ≤ 1300 IU/mL (Note: Subjects with an IgE \< 30 IU/mL will be dosed at the lowest level on the dosing table \[30 IU/mL\], thus enabling better understanding of the role of Xolair in peanut allergic subjects who have low total IgE levels.) Exclusion Criteria: * Withdrawal from Study Q2788g prior to study closure or the final study visit (Week 36) * Current participation in another investigational study * Pregnancy or lactation * History of brittle asthma * Aspirin-sensitive asthma * Known hypersensitivity to any ingredients of Xolair, including its excipients (sucrose, histidine, polysorbate 20) * Have a polymorrphonuclear count \<1500/uL * Use of anti-coagulants, such as warfarin (Coumadin(R)), thrombolytic enzymes, or ticlopidine * Current diagnosis of cancer, current investigation for possible cancer, or history of cancer (not including non-melanoma skin cancer) * Thrombocytopenia as evidenced by a platelet count \< 100,000/uL * Any systemic condition requiring regular administration of an immunoglobulin
