Study of ENP-501 in Peanut-Allergic and Non-Allergic Participants

April 23, 2026 updated by: N-Fold, LLC

A Phase 1/2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of ENP-501 in Non-Peanut Allergic Participants and Participants With a Known Peanut Allergy

This is a Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of ENP-501 in non-peanut allergic (NPA) healthy participants and participants with an established peanut allergy (PA)
