Allergy, Nut clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Low Dose Multi-Nut Oral Immunotherapy in Pre-schoolers With a Multi-Nut Allergy

LMNOP

Start date: November 16, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The LMNOP trial will be a 2-armed, open-label, randomised controlled trial (RCT), 2:1. Over a period of 18 months, children in the Multi-Nut Oral Immunotherapy Treatment (OIT) Group (experimental arm) will undergo low dose OIT to two nuts they are allergic to. At this time, children in the Standard Care Group (control arm) will be instructed to strictly avoid consuming two nuts they are allergic to. Avoiding consuming nut allergens is the standard care advice for children with peanut/tree nut allergies in Australia. The trial will assess the difference in the proportion of participants undergoing Multi-Nut OIT who can achieve sustained unresponsiveness (SU) compared to the proportion of participants avoiding nuts who develop natural tolerance (NT), i.e. grow out of their allergy. SU is when a participant can pass an oral food challenge (OFC) after having paused OIT treatment for several weeks. Participants will be between the ages of 18 and 36 months at the time of screening. The first 12 participants enrolled will be part of the pilot phase, with a total of n = 45 for the main trial. It is hypothesised that there will be a higher proportion of participants in the Multi-Nut OIT Group versus the Standard Care Group who pass the OFC following the 18-month treatment phase. That is, a higher proportion of participants in the Multi-Nut OIT Group will achieve SU compared to participants in the Standard Care Group achieving NT.
