STEP-IT-UP - Peanut Allergy Study for Infants

November 9, 2021 updated by: Johns Hopkins University

Subthreshold Peanut in Infants - Understanding Plasticity

Multicenter randomized (1:1) trial of strict avoidance versus sub-threshold dietary introduction of peanut in peanut allergic infants 4-14 months of age who react at a minimum cumulative dose of at least 430 mg of peanut protein at initial oral food challenge (OFC) for 12 months, followed by cross-over to sub-threshold dietary introduction of peanut in those randomized initially to avoidance.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
  • Phase 2

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Dietary Peanut
Participants in this group will be asked to continue peanut in their diet for 1 year at a dose determined from the double blind placebo controlled food challenge at baseline. After the 1 year period, participants will be given another double blind placebo controlled food challenge which will be used to determine their current peanut threshold. The current peanut threshold will be used to determine which participants will go into clinical care and which will get sustained unresponsiveness food challenges to peanut.
Biological: Peanut powder or peanut butter
Commercially available peanut powder or peanut butter.
NO_INTERVENTION: Strict avoidance
Participants in this group will be asked to strictly avoid any peanut in their diet for 1 year. After the 1 year period, participants will be given another double blind placebo controlled food challenge which will be used to determine whether they will transition to daily dietary peanut or continue with clinical care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Oral food challenge threshold to peanut at week 52
Time Frame: 52 weeks
compare the oral food challenge threshold (in milligrams) to peanut during a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) after 12 months between subjects randomized to dietary peanut introduction and those randomized to avoidance.
52 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
1. Oral food challenge threshold to peanut at week 52 for those initially randomized to dietary peanut compared to the oral food challenge threshold at week 104 for those initially randomized to strict avoidance
Time Frame: 104 weeks
Compare the oral food challenge threshold (in milligrams) to peanut during a double-blind placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) after 12 months of dietary peanut between subjects randomized to dietary peanut introduction first and those randomized to avoidance for 52 weeks and subsequent dietary peanut after week 52.
104 weeks
Oral food challenge threshold at 1 month avoidance after 12 months in each treatment group
Time Frame: 56 weeks
Comparison of OFC threshold (in milligrams) at 1 month of avoidance (sustained unresponsiveness) after 12 months of dietary peanut between those initially randomized to peanut and those randomized to delayed introduction.
56 weeks
Oral food challenge threshold at 2 months avoidance after 12 months in each treatment group
Time Frame: 60 weeks
Comparison of OFC threshold (in milligrams) at 2 months of avoidance (sustained unresponsiveness) after 12 months of dietary peanut between those initially randomized to peanut and those randomized to delayed introduction.
60 weeks
Safety with dietary introduction of peanut or avoidance
Time Frame: 52 weeks
Number of participants who have severe (grade 3) anaphylaxis secondary to any DBPCFC or ingestion of the measured dose of peanut.
52 weeks
Rate of discontinuation of dietary peanut
Time Frame: 104 weeks
Number of participants randomized to dietary peanut who discontinue peanut.
104 weeks
Severity of eczema as assessed by the Scoring Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD) score
Time Frame: 104 weeks
Eczema severity as assessed by the SCORAD. The SCORAD has a component for patient measured outcomes and also provider assessment of eczema involvement. It has an overall score range of 0-100, where higher scores signify more severe eczema.
104 weeks
Peanut skin prick test wheal size
Time Frame: 104 weeks
Average wheal size (millimeters) of peanut skin prick test for participants in each group.
104 weeks
