This research is being conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of increased dosing of Omalizumab for food allergies.
This research is being conducted to assess the safety and effectiveness of omalizumab for food allergies dosed differently from what is currently FDA approved. The study hypothesizes the current way of dosing omalizumab may not work well for all patients with food allergy and it unnecessarily excludes some individuals with very high allergic antibody (IgE) who may benefit. This study will include subjects regardless of IgE level. One of the goals is to learn more about how safe and effective Omalizumab is for people with these high IgE levels, since this has not been fully studied before.

RECRUITINGProportion of participants that tolerate the 600 mg dose after treatment.
The primary analysis of outcome is on the proportion of subjects tolerating at least 600 mg at the post-treatment OFC in either group against the expected outcome without treatment based on OUTMATCH data.
Time frame: 16 Weeks

Secondary efficacy endpoint analysis will also be determined at OFC following 16-weeks of treatment: ● The proportion of participants that tolerate a single dose 1000 mg allergen
Time frame: 16 Weeks

Secondary efficacy endpoint analysis will also be determined at OFC following 16-weeks of treatment: ● The proportion of participants that tolerate a single dose 2000 mg allergen
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Other measures of omalizumab treatment effect on food allergy
Secondary efficacy endpoint analysis will also be determined at OFC following 16-weeks of treatment: ● The proportion of participants that tolerate two doses of 2000 mg allergen
Time frame: 16 Weeks
Other measures of omalizumab treatment effect on food allergy
Secondary efficacy endpoint analysis will also be determined at OFC following 16-weeks of treatment: ● Reaction severity of positive post treatment reactions using the CoFAR grading scale ranging from 1 (mild) to 5 (death)
