The aim of this study is to confirm safety and tolerability of incremental doses of HAL-MPE1 subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) in peanut allergic adults, and subsequently assess the safety and tolerability in adolescents and children with peanut allergy.
At the time of the study there was no effective treatment available for peanut allergy other than avoidance of peanut allergens. There was high unmet medical need for a disease modifying treatment for peanut allergy, especially for peanut allergic children, since this age group is at highest risk of peanut-related anaphylaxis requiring hospitalization. A chemically modified, aluminum hydroxide adsorbed peanut extract (HAL-MPE1) for subcutaneous administration has been developed. The safety and tolerability of HAL-MPE1 have been established in a First-in-human (FIH) study in adults.
