Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Sustained unresponsiveness to a peanut protein after discontinuing oral immunotherapy for 4 weeks.
The share of participants who tolerate a single dose of 150 mg or 300 mg of peanut protein (depending on the maintenance dose) at oral food challenge.
The highest tolerated dose of peanut protein after discontinuing oral immunotherapy for 4 weeks.
Sustained unresponsiveness assessed as the highest tolerated dose of peanut protein at oral food challenge.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Adverse events
Number and severity of adverse events during OIT treatment and at OOFC will be assessed and compared between both groups.
Occurence of eosinophilic esophagitis.
Number and severity of eosinophilic esophagitis symptoms following OIT treatment assessed and compared between both groups.
Laboratory data
Change in serum levels of specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE) to peanut components and peanut-specific immunoglobulin G4 (sIgE4) levels at different time points: at the start and at the end of oral immunotherapy, and after 4 weeks of allergen avoidance, assessed for each individual and compared between groups.
Skin prick test (SPT)
Change in peanut skin prick test wheal in different time points: at the start, and at the end of oral immunotherapy, and after 4 weeks of allergen avoidance, assessed for each individual and compared between groups.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study is a continuation of a clinical trial NCT044155930 comparing the efficacy and safety of oral immunotherapy (OIT) with low or high doses of peanut protein (150 or 300 mg, respectively) and will involve patients who have accomplished their per-protocol participation in that trial. The aim of current study is to assess a sustained unresponsiveness (SU) to allergen protein after at least 8 months of previously assigned high- or low-dose peanut OIT, followed by 4-week-allergen avoidance, and verified by an open oral food challenge (OOFC).
Detailed Description
Oral immunotherapy is considered the most effective food allergy treatment. There are two main goals of food immunotherapy: achievement of desensitisation and sustained unresponsiveness. Desensitization is a temporary state of clinical non-reactivity which requires regular intake of allergen, whereas sustained unresponsiveness is defined as lack of clinical reaction to a food allergen after discontinuing OIT for a specific period of time. The study is a continuation of a clinical trial NCT044155930, which was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of oral immunotherapy (OIT) with low or high doses of peanut protein (150 or 300 mg, respectively) in children with a confirmed diagnosis of peanut allergy. The participants of current study will be recruited from patients who have accomplished their per-protocol participation in previous trial. Patients will receive the same maintenance dose of peanut allergen, which was used in previous trial (150 or 300 mg, respectively), for at least 8 months (32 weeks +/-2 weeks). Then, OIT will be discontinued for 4 weeks with strict peanut avoidance. After this period, an open oral food challenge (OOFC) will be performed to assess the achievement of sustained unresponsiveness.
