Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age 1 to 55 years
  • A positive prick skin test (PST) with a wheal ≥ 6 mm to at least one of the relevant foods (peanut, cashew, walnut, egg, milk, or wheat)
  • Positive food-specific IgE (≥2.0 kilo units of allergen-specific IgE per liter (kUA/L)) to at least one of the study specific foods
  • A weight / IgE level that would have excluded the participant from the OUTMATCH study based on the dosing table noted above
  • Positive double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) to one of the relevant foods at a cumulative dose of ≤144 mg (maximum tolerated dose ≤30 mg)

Exclusion

  • Clinically significant laboratory abnormalities at screening.
  • Dose-limiting symptoms during the blinded food challenge to placebo during the screening DBPCFC.
  • Poorly controlled or severe asthma/wheezing at screening
  • History of severe anaphylaxis to participant-specific foods that will be used in this study, defined as neurological compromise or requiring intubation.
  • 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.
  • Currently receiving oral, IM, or IV corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressants, or β-blockers.
  • Past or current history of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease within three years of screening.
  • Past or current history of cancer, or currently being investigated for possible cancer.
  • Past or current history of any food immunotherapy (e.g., oral immunotherapy (OIT), sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) within 6 months of screening.
  • Treatment with monoclonal antibody therapy, such as omalizumab, dupilumab, benralizumab, mepolizumab, reslizumab, tezepelumab, or other immunomodulatory therapy within 6 months of screening.
  • Inability to discontinue antihistamines for minimum wash-out periods required for skin prick tests (SPTs) or oral food challenges (OFCs).
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study
  • Evidence of clinically significant chronic disease.
