MHWFAC Clinical Trials

Researchers and clinicians at the Mary H. Weiser Food Allergy Center are leading or co-leading a number of clinical trials related to food allergy discovery and treatment. 

Upcoming/Enrolling Studies

 

1. Efficacy and Safety of QGE31 (Ligelizumab) in Patients with Peanut Allergy: This study is testing a new injectable drug for food allergy. A phase 3 clinical trial to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of ligelizumab (anti-IgE) on peanut reaction threshold in peanut-allergic individuals.

 Eligible Participants

-        Ages 12-55 (plans to add ages 6-11 in the future)

-        History of peanut allergy

 Sponsor: Novartis

PI: Georgiana Sanders, MD

Current Status: Enrolling

 

2. ADORED Study (Allergic Disease Onset Prevention Study) STMC-103H-102: This study is evaluating whether a daily probiotic by mouth can prevent the development of allergies. A phase 1b/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a probiotic (STMC-103H) in neonates and infants to prevent the development of allergic disease.  

 Eligible Participants

-        Neonates (<7 days of age) with family history of allergic disease

 Sponsor: Siolta Therapeutics

PI: Georgiana Sanders, MD

Current Status: Enrolling

 

3. FAB Study (Food Allergy Biomarkers Study): A study to identify biomarkers and investigate mechanisms of food anaphylaxis. An observational and bio-sampling study of patients undergoing oral food challenges during routine clinical care or on research protocols for clinical trials.

 Eligible Participants

-        Patient of University of Michigan Allergy undergoing an oral food challenge

 Sponsor: M-FARA, FARE Discovery Center of Distinction award, NIH/NIAID K23

PI: Charles Schuler IV, MD

Current Status: Enrolling

 

7. PREPARE Study (Predicting Peanut Anaphylaxis and Reducing Epinephrine): This study will investigate water loss across the skin as a marker for severe allergic reactions during oral food challenges.  An observational study to evaluate a noninvasive biomarker, transepidermal water loss (TEWL), during oral food challenges to predict anaphylaxis before it is otherwise clinically apparent.

 Eligible Participants

-        Ages 6 months-5 years.

-        History of Peanut allergy

 Sponsor: Gerber Foundation

PI: Charles Schuler IV, MD

Current Status: Upcoming

 

8. COUR Peanut Infusion Study (CNP-201):  This study is testing the safety of an intravenous (IV) drug to treat peanut allergy. A phase 1 study to evaluate the safety of a peanut-containing nanoparticle infusion for potential treatment of peanut allergy

 Eligible Participants

-        Ages 16-55

-        History of peanut allergy

 Sponsor: COUR Pharmaceuticals

PI: Ian Slack, MD

Current Status: Upcoming

 

Ongoing Studies

 

1. HARMONY Study (Multifood OIT allergy study) ADP101: This study is evaluating multifood oral immunotherapy as a treatment for food allergy. A phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating an oral formulation of 15 individual food sources (ADP101) that are responsible for approximately 90% of food allergies in the United States to be used as an oral immunotherapy (OIT) for the mitigation of allergic reactions.  The study has now transitioned to ENCORE Study (open-label extension study) to investigate long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of orally administered ADP101.

 Sponsor: Alladapt

PI: Ian Slack, MD

Current Status: Ongoing (closed to enrollment)

 

2. EPITOPE/EPOPEX Study (Peanut Patch Study): A study of a peanut skin patch as a new treatment for peanut allergy. A phase 3 clinical trial to assess the clinical benefit of Viaskin Peanut patch and evaluate safety of long-term treatment after up to 3 years of epicutaneous immunotherapy to induce/maintain desensitization to peanut in peanut-allergic children.    

 Sponsor: DBV Technologies

PI: Georgiana Sanders, MD

Current Status: Ongoing (closed to enrollment)

 

3. ARC008 (Palforzia® Study): A long-term safety extension study for eligible subjects who have participated in a previous Aimmune AR101 (Palforzia®) clinical study.

 Sponsor: Aimmune Therapeutics

PI: Georgiana Sanders, MD

Current Status: Ongoing (closed to enrollment)
