Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 METHODS OF INDUCING TOLERANCE AND REDUCING ADVERSE REACTIONS TO ONE OR MORE FOOD ALLERGENS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No.63 / 589,254, filed October 10, 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND
[0002] Food allergy (FA) is a growing, worldwide health issue, which carries a heavy socioeconomic burden on all levels. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the prevalence of FA in children less than 18 years of age in the United States to be approximately 4-8%, with an estimated 18% increase from 1997-2007. These concerns are also relevant for adults, with an estimated 10.8% prevalence of FA.
[0003] Peanut allergy (PA) is one of the most common, and potentially fatal, food allergies, resulting in approximately 200 deaths per year in the US. In 1997, approximately 0.4% of the general US population reported having PA with severe and / or multiple reactions. A follow-up study 11 years later found the rate of reported PA in children alone had increased to 1.4%, and in 2017, the challenge-confirmed prevalence of PA in early childhood had risen to 1.9%.
[0004] Individuals with PA may experience symptoms ranging from oral itching and skin rash to severe gastrointestinal reactions and life-threatening anaphylaxis, leading to a decreased quality of life and other chronic health problems such as social withdrawal, poor sleep, and anxiety. Avoidance remains the primary mode of therapy for individuals with severe PA, although restrictions in the diet are also very difficult to follow, and accidental exposures with potentially life-threatening outcomes frequently occur, even after the appropriate use of auto-injectable epinephrine.
[0005] Immunotherapy (IT), a disease-modifying therapy, has been used in clinical practice for over 100 years for the treatment of respiratory allergies. IT involves the -1- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 consistent, repeated contact of an individual’s immune system with extracts containing the allergens that person is sensitive to. Despite recent advancements, current IT treatments present insufficient success rates and, in some instances, are accompanied by adverse side effects. Accordingly, novel therapies which promote immune tolerance while also reducing risk of adverse events are needed. SUMMARY

[0096] While the present technology is capable of being embodied in various forms, the description below of several embodiments is made with the understanding that the present technology is to be considered as an exemplification of the present technology and is not intended to limit the present technology to the specific embodiments illustrated. Headings are provided for convenience only and are not to be construed to limit the present technology in any manner. Embodiments illustrated under any heading may be combined with embodiments illustrated under any other heading.
[0097] The use of numerical values in the various quantitative values specified in this application, unless expressly indicated otherwise, are stated as approximations as though the minimum and maximum values within the stated ranges were both preceded by the word “about.” It is to be understood, although not always explicitly stated, that all numerical designations are preceded by the term “about.” It is to be understood that such range format is used for convenience and brevity and should be understood flexibly to include numerical values explicitly specified as limits of a range, but also to include all individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub- -13- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 range is explicitly specified. For example, a ratio in the range of about 1 to about 200 should be understood to include the explicitly recited limits of about 1 and about 200, but also to include individual ratios such as about 2, about 3, and about 4, and sub-ranges such as about 10 to about 50, about 20 to about 100, and so forth. It also is to be understood, although not always explicitly stated, that the reagents described herein are merely exemplary and that equivalents of such are known in the art. The term “about” means a quantity, level, value, number, frequency, percentage, dimension, size, amount, weight or length that varies by acceptable levels in the art. Typically, such variation may be as much 10% above and below a reference quantity, level, value, number, frequency, percentage, dimension, size, amount, weight or length and such variation may be influenced by standard applicable measurement practices. When the term “about” is used in conjunction with a numerical range, it modifies that range by extending the boundaries above and below the numerical values set forth.
[0098] Also, the description of ranges is intended as a continuous range, including every value between the minimum and maximum values recited, as well as any ranges that can be formed by such values. Also provided herein are any and all ratios (and ranges of any such ratios) that can be formed by dividing a described numeric value into any other described numeric value. Accordingly, the skilled person will appreciate that many such ratios, ranges, and ranges of ratios can be unambiguously derived from the numerical values presented herein and in all instances, such ratios, ranges, and ranges of ratios represent various embodiments of the present technology. Pharmaceutical Compositions Allergens

[0169] The daily dose may be administered to a subject in need thereof in unit doses which together comprise the full daily dose.

Objectives and Rationale
[0429] A randomized placebo-controlled Phase 1 study was performed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of up-titration with INT301 in adults with a peanut allergy. INT301 has the ability to deliver a higher dose of peanut protein, compared to SLIT, with a once daily dosing. Because the vast majority of the product is expelled after a two-minute brushing, rather than swallowed, the incidence of adverse events compared to OIT is expected to be much lower. As this treatment fits in with the daily routine of toothbrushing, adherence was expected to be excellent, even if the product needs to be used indefinitely to sustain oral -79- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 tolerance. The flavor and smell of the toothpaste masks the odor and taste of peanuts and “smart toothbrushes,” have advancements like two-minute timers, pressure sensors, and a Bluetooth-connected app, allowing for close monitoring of the usage of the product during clinical trials.
[0430] The primary objective was evaluation of the safety of INT301 compared to placebo (control) in adult peanut allergic subjects as measured by dose escalation during study. Endpoints of the primary objective included: 1. Evaluate the percentage of subjects able to consistently tolerate the protocol- specified highest dose; 2. Evaluate the incidence of systemic adverse reactions; and 3. Evaluate the incidence of non-systemic adverse reactions.
[0431] The secondary objectives included evaluation of pharmacologic requirements as interventions for peanut allergic subjects experiencing adverse events on INT301 and determination of the maximally tolerated dose during the up-dosing phase for adults. Endpoints of the secondary objectives included: 1. Evaluate the number of subjects requiring treatment for systemic reactions related to experimental treatment or control; 2. Evaluate the number of adverse events requiring treatment for systemic reactions related to experimental treatment or control; 3. Evaluate the adherence to study treatment; and 4. Evaluate the dose amount tolerated without AEs requiring discontinuation for each subject.
[0432] Other exploratory objectives included exploring changes in peanut-specific IgG4, IgA, and IgE levels in subjects and exploring changes in patient response to oral food challenge pre-treatment and post treatment. -80- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Methods Study Design
[0433] This study comprises a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, control-controlled study in adult subjects with peanut allergy, which included a multiple-dose escalation design having within-subject dose titration. Cohorts 1-4 consisting of 8 subjects each were selected. 6 subjects in each cohort received study intervention (“treatment”) and the other 2 subjects received matching control (“control”). Subjects in cohorts 2-4 were treated with as many as 11 doses unless they were taken off study drug due to adverse events. Subjects were randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive either an escalating dose of INT301 or control. Treatment group was blinded to the investigator, subjects, and the study team.
[0434] The first cohort was assigned the lowest study dose or matching control. Dose escalation within this cohort continued, one dose level per study course, until the procedure halted due to safety concerns or all planned doses for this cohort were evaluated.
[0435] Safety was evaluated by the Safety Monitoring Committee before each new cohort started. The Safety Monitoring Committee reviewed the safety data available from currently enrolled patients prior to determining whether the next cohort could safely start up- dosing.
[0436] The next cohort started at the next highest dose relative to the starting dose of the previously enrolled cohort. Initial treatment of this cohort only began after at least one previous cohort received a completed course at this same dose level and no events which would halt escalation were observed. If a starting dose level was determined to be unsafe by the SMC based on reported adverse events, new subjects were enrolled at the last cohort that did not experience side-effects resulting in discontinuation.
[0437] Subjects continued up-dosing according to the schema in FIG.1A and FIG.1B until they completed all scheduled up-dosing or reached a dose that caused side effects that required stopping. Safety was assessed by stage for both the up-dosing and maintenance phases among the treatment and control groups (FIG. 1C and FIG. 1D). Instructions for rechallenging are contained in Section 6 of the protocol. The last tolerable dose was captured as the maximally tolerated dose for the patient. Once the subject reached their -81- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 maximally tolerated dose, they continued at that dose for the remaining scheduled treatment visits. Summary of Eligibility Criteria
[0438] Subjects aged 18-55 with a history of peanut allergy that was demonstrated at screening were enrolled in this study to evaluate the safety of INT301. Summary of Study Duration
[0439] Study Duration: 57 weeks. Included a maintenance period at the subject’s maximally tolerated dose. The initial cohorts included:
[0440] Cohort 1: 8 weeks up-dosing, no maintenance
[0441] Cohort 2: 20 weeks up-dosing, 28 weeks maintenance
[0442] Cohort 3: 16 weeks up-dosing, 32 weeks maintenance
[0443] Cohort 4: 14 weeks up-dosing, 34 weeks maintenance
[0444] Visit Frequency: every 2 weeks during treatment; every 4 weeks during maintenance.
[0445] Study protocols were adjusted during enrollment. As such, some of Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 subjects were assigned to protocols.
[0446] Condition / Disease: peanut allergy
[0447] Sample Size: Approximately 73 subjects were screened to achieve 32 enrolled to study. Enrolled subjects were those who had provided documented Informed Consent, completed screening procedures, and were determined to be eligible for randomization. Of the (n=32) randomized participants, 17 (53%) were female and 15 (47%) were male. In the treatment group (n=24) 13 (54.2%) were female and 11 (45.8%) were male. The median age of all randomized participants was 23, with the median in the treatment and control groups being 24 and 21.5 years respectively. 21.9% of randomized participants identified as being Hispanic or Latino. Participants reported their race as white (53%), Black (28.1%), Asian (12.5%), and Other (6.3%). Additional details are provided in Table 25. -82- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0448] Reason for participant discontinuation: Cohort completed prior to randomization (n=3), Exceeded upper age limit (n=1), Inability to discontinue antihistamines (n=1), Insufficient OFC Response (n=3), Positive Pregnancy Test (n=1), Severe anaphylaxis history (n=2), Significant Comorbidity (n=2), Significant Periodontal Disease (n=3), SPT or IgE (n=13), Uncontrolled Asthma (n=1), and Withdrawn Consent Prior to Randomization (n=11).
[0449] Three participants discontinued from the study early for the following reasons: participant was withdrawn by investigator for non-compliance with study visits, participant withdrew from study for scheduling concerns, or participant was withdrawn from study due to starting exclusionary medication (hydroxyzine) during the up-dosing period. Investigational Product
[0450] The investigational products used in this study include INT301 and control. Investigational Product Dosage and Administration
[0451] Eligible patients were randomized to either treatment or control. Subjects were started on one of 4 dose levels depending on the cohort to which they were assigned. Procedures
[0452] After signing the informed consent form (ICF) subjects entered the screening phase of the study for up to 49 days. Serious adverse events were collected from the time of signing the ICF, while adverse events and disease related events were collected post randomization and first dose of IP.
[0453] Screening evaluations included medical history and disease-related history, skin prick, oral food challenge, oral mucosal brush biopsy for IgE, physical exam, and vital signs. Blood was collected for hematology, chemistry, biomarker analysis, and for all females of childbearing potential.
[0454] At Randomization Visit, eligible subjects were randomized into the 48-week double-blind on-study evaluation period and received study treatment. Following IP administration, a 1-hour safety supervision occurred. Safety follow-up visits occurred after the last dose of IP. -83- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Oral Food Challenge
[0455] A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Oral Food Challenge (DBPCOFC) screening for cohorts 3 and 4 and the end of the treatment period for all subjects on study was conducted. While this study does not intend to determine the efficacy of INT301 in the adult population, initial results from the DBPCOFC informed the dosing regimen and design of future studies. Schedule of Activities (SoA) Screening
[0456] A Schedule of Activities (SoA) screening through Up-dosing visits are shown in Tables 1-6. Up-dosing for cohorts 1-4 was conducted according to the schema in FIG.1A and FIG. 1B.

[0459] In this study, the term “dose” refers to the application of the Investigational Product Oral Mucosal Immunotherapy (OMIT) toothpaste containing the active peanut allergens under investigation. The current studies using SLIT and OIT support the range of doses proposed and used in this study. The relatively low exposure of active ingredient in the starting dose and initial up-titration doses of Investigational Product reduces risk to subjects and is expected to be well-tolerated.

[0489] Screen failures were defined as subjects who consent to participate in the clinical study but are not subsequently randomized to study intervention. A minimal set of screen failure information was required to ensure transparent reporting of screen failure subjects to meet the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) publishing requirements and to respond to queries from regulatory authorities. Minimal information includes demography, screen failure details, eligibility criteria, and any serious adverse event (SAE).
[0490] Individuals who did not meet the criteria for participation in this study (screen failure) may be rescreened 1 time within 6 weeks of the initial screening date. Rescreened subjects were assigned a new subject number. Criteria for Temporarily Delaying
[0491] Subjects requiring unplanned dental surgery during treatment period should hold dosing on the day of surgery. Dosing may continue at the discretion of the investigator.
[0492] Subjects were instructed to hold dosing if they have a fever (> 100.40 F) until it resolves. This delay was recorded in the subject diaries. Study Intervention(s) and Concomitant Therapy
[0493] Study intervention is defined as any investigational intervention(s) and / or control, intended to be administered to a study subject according to the study protocol.
[0494] Meals and Dietary Restrictions: No food should be consumed from 30 minutes before or after dosing.
[0495] Physical Activities: Subjects were encouraged to avoid vigorous exercise for an hour before and after dosing. -102- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0496] Caffeine, Alcohol, and Tobacco: During each dosing session, subjects abstained from ingesting caffeine or xanthine-containing products (e.g., coffee, tea, cola drinks, and chocolate) for 30 minutes before the start of dosing.
[0497] Subjects who use tobacco products are instructed that use of nicotine- containing products (including nicotine patches) are not permitted during study observation.
[0498] Study interventions are shown in Table 9. Table 9: Study Intervention(s) Administered ARM Name 1 2-103- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Route of Oral- Toothpaste Oral- Toothpaste Administration at n

[0503] The drug substance in INT301 is defatted peanut (Arachis hypogaea) flour formulated to specific total protein dosages using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay. The INT301 formulations are characterized to ensure that they contain 4 allergenic peanut proteins: Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3, and Ara h 6. Measures to Minimize Bias: Randomization and Blinding
[0504] At Visit 3, subjects were assigned a unique number (randomization number) by the IWRS utilized for the study. The randomization number encodes the subject’s assignment according to the randomization schedule generated prior to the study. Each subject was dispensed blinded study intervention, labeled with his / her unique randomization number, throughout the study. Subjects were provided with a 24-hour contact should emergency unblinding need to occur after hours to address an SAE.
[0505] Unblinding the intervention assignment may be conducted for any subject with an SAE. If the SAE requires that an expedited regulatory report be sent to one or more regulatory agencies, a copy of the report, identifying the subject’s intervention assignment, may be sent to investigators in accordance with local regulations and / or sponsor policy. Dosing Instructions
[0506] At each dosing visit, the subject used the assigned dose amount in the office according to provided instructions. A soft bristled toothbrush was provided to each patient at the beginning of the study and replaced as necessary to ensure that the subject was using the study provided toothbrush. The subject was provided with a 2-minute timer and instructed to use it to ensure consistent usage.
[0507] The subject reviewed a list of dosing criteria at the visit. This information was included in the patient diary. Patients were reminded to hold dosing for the following conditions:
[0508] 1. Any dental work, including a cleaning- hold for at least one day and discuss restarting with investigator.
[0509] 2. Any fever- hold until fever resolves. -109- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0510] Subjects were instructed to brush with INT301 for 2 minutes at their first brushing of the day. Subjects were instructed to brush using their regular fluoride-containing toothpaste later in the day, at least 6 hours after using INT301. Study Intervention Compliance
[0511] When subjects were dosed at the site, they received study intervention directly from the investigator or designee, under medical supervision. The date and time of each dose administered in the clinic was recorded in the source documents and recorded. The dose of study intervention and study subject identification was confirmed at the time of dosing by a member of the study site staff other than the person administering the study intervention.
[0512] A record of the volume of INT301 dispensed to and administered by each subject was maintained and reconciled with study intervention and compliance records. Intervention start and stop dates, including dates for intervention delays and / or dose reductions were also recorded on a patient completed dosing diary.
[0513] The pump was brought to each study visit and the site weighed the pump at each visit to support compliance data collection. Dose Modification
[0514] Subjects automatically proceeded to the next assigned dose level. In the event that a subject experienced a safety or tolerability related event, including at their first dosing level, they could be placed at a lower dose level at the discretion of the investigator, in discussion with the Sponsor Medical Monitor. Rescue Medication
[0515] Subjects were provided with injectable epinephrine at the time of randomization.
[0516] Subjects were provided with training on home use of rescue injectable epinephrine should they have experienced symptoms of anaphylaxis.
[0517] Subjects were instructed to contact the study site immediately after the anaphylaxis safety plan has been completed if they required use of injectable epinephrine. -110- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0518] Subjects were provided diphenhydramine to keep on hand at home while on study in order to comply with the anaphylaxis safety plan. Concomitant Therapy
[0519] Any medication that the subject is receiving at the time of enrollment or receives during the study must be recorded along with:
[0520] 1. Reason for use.
[0521] 2. Dates of administration including start and end dates.
[0522] 3. Dosage information including dose and frequency.
[0523] The Medical Monitor should be contacted if there are any questions regarding concomitant or prior therapy. Stopping Criteria
[0524] Discontinuation of study intervention occurred if a subject experienced one of the following:
[0525] 1. A study-related Serious Adverse Event as determined by the Principal Investigator. Subjects may also stop treatment if the investigator determines that it is in the best interest of the patient.
[0526] 2. Life-threatening symptoms including, but not limited to, anaphylaxis resulting in hypotension, neurological compromise, or mechanical ventilation secondary to peanut OMIT dosing or any peanut food challenge.
[0527] 3. Severe symptoms, including, but not limited to, those that require intensive therapy (to be determined by the investigator, but may include such interventions as IV epinephrine, intubation, or admission to an intensive care unit) or those that are recurrent.
[0528] 4. Poor control or persistent activation of secondary atopic disease (e.g., atopic dermatitis, asthma).
[0529] 5. Started on angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, or other prohibited medications, with no alternative medications available per the prescribing doctor. -111- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0530] 6. Pregnancy.
[0531] 7. Non-adherence (non-compliance) as this could constitute a potential safety issue.
[0532] 8. The subject develops biopsy-documented eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Temporary Discontinuation
[0533] Subjects temporarily stop study treatment if they had a fever or unplanned dental surgery. Treatment may have restarted when the fever was resolved. After dental surgery, the investigator way determines when the subject may restart treatment.
[0534] Subjects who temporarily paused treatment for 3-7 cumulative days during a dosing period continued at their current dose for two weeks. Subjects who paused treatment for 8-14 cumulative days resumed treatment at one dose level lower than what was discontinued. If these missed doses occurred at the starting dose for the subject’s cohort, the subject resumed at the starting dose. That subject completed two weeks of dosing at the lower dose before continuing the up-dosing protocol. Subjects who discontinue for more than 14 cumulative days resumed treatment at two dose levels lower than what was discontinued or the starting dose of the cohort, whichever is higher. The subject completed two weeks of dosing before continuing up-dosing one dose level every two weeks. Rechallenge
[0535] Subjects that experienced low-grade side effects stopping the subject from dose escalating reverted to the last safe dose until the next study visit. The subject may, at the discretion of the investigator, repeat the up-dosing protocol at the next visit. If the subject failed an up-dosing trial or did not attempt a rechallenge, the subject continued the rest of the study period at the last safe dose. Subject Discontinuation / Withdrawal from the Study
[0536] A subject may withdraw from the study at any time at his / her own request or may be withdrawn at any time at the discretion of the investigator for safety, behavioral, or compliance reasons. This is expected to be uncommon. -112- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0537] At the time of discontinuing from the study, if possible, an early discontinuation visit should be conducted, as shown in the SoA. See SoA for data to be collected at the time of study discontinuation and follow-up and for any further evaluations that need to be completed. • The subject was permanently discontinued both from the study intervention and from the study at that time. • If the subject withdraws consent for disclosure of future information, the sponsor may retain and continue to use any data collected before such a withdrawal of consent. • If a subject withdraws from the study, he / she may request destruction of any samples taken and not tested, and the investigator must document this in the site study records. Lost to Follow Up
[0538] A subject was considered lost to follow-up if he or she repeatedly failed to return for scheduled visits and was unable to be contacted by the study site.
[0539] The following actions were taken if a subject failed to return to the clinic for a required study visit: 1. The site must attempt to contact the subject and reschedule the missed visit as soon as possible and counsel the subject on the importance of maintaining the assigned visit schedule and ascertain whether or not the subject wishes to and / or should continue in the study. 2. Before a subject is deemed lost to follow up, the investigator or designee must make every effort to regain contact with the subject (where possible, 3 telephone calls and, if necessary, a certified letter to the subject’s last known mailing address or local equivalent methods). These contact attempts should be documented in the subject’s medical record. 3. Should the subject continue to be unreachable, he / she was considered to have withdrawn from the study. -113- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 4. Site personnel, or an independent third party, attempted to collect the vital status of the subject within legal and ethical boundaries for all subjects randomized, including those who did not get study intervention. Public sources may be searched for vital status information. If vital status is determined as deceased, this was documented and the subject was considered lost to follow-up. Sponsor personnel were not involved in any attempts to collect vital status information. Study Assessments and Procedures
[0540] Any immediate safety concerns were discussed with the sponsor immediately upon occurrence or awareness to determine if the subject should continue or discontinue study intervention.
[0541] Adherence to the study design requirements, including those specified in the SoA, is essential and required for study conduct.
[0542] All screening evaluations were completed and reviewed to confirm that potential subjects met all eligibility criteria. The investigator maintained a screening log to record details of all subjects screened and to confirm eligibility or record reasons for screening failure, as applicable.
[0543] The maximum amount of blood collected from each subject over the duration of the study, including any extra assessments that may have been required, did not exceed 60 mL.
[0544] Repeat or unscheduled samples may be taken for safety reasons or for technical issues with the samples. Physical Examination
[0545] A complete physical examination included, at a minimum, assessments of the Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal and Neurological systems.
[0546] A brief physical examination included symptom- focused review of subject status.
[0547] An oral exam assessing changes in dental or oral health occurred at baseline and every visit from randomization forward. -114- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0548] Investigators should pay special attention to clinical signs related to previous serious illnesses. Dental Exam
[0549] Each subject underwent a dental exam to assess gingival health and determine that the subject had no conditions that required intervention. If the subject had a routine dental exam in the 6 months prior to screening, this exam, accompanied by a letter from the dentist confirming dental health, can be utilized. If no previous dental exam was available, the subject was seen by a dentist as part of screening. Vital Signs
[0550] Height and weight were measured and recorded at baseline.
[0551] Temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure were assessed at each visit.
[0552] Blood pressure and pulse measurements were preceded by at least 5 minutes of rest for the subject in a quiet setting without distractions. Open Oral Food Challenge: Preparation
[0553] An open oral food challenge was performed for all subjects at screening who consented. Subjects completed an open oral food challenge (OFC) at least 7 days after the skin prick tests and at least 7 days prior to randomization.
[0554] Subjects refrained from eating for 4 hours prior to their oral food challenge. Water could be consumed during this time. Subjects had discontinued prohibited medications according to the prohibited medications section of this protocol. Open Oral Food Challenge: Procedure
[0555] Vital signs were obtained prior to starting the OFC (including weight, temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, and spirometry). A focused baseline exam of subject’s skin, nose, eyes, oropharynx, heart, and lungs was completed prior to starting the OFC. -115- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0556] Peanut protein, mixed with applesauce as a vehicle, was administered at incremental doses of 12, 25, 50, and 100 mg of peanut protein.
[0557] At least 20 minutes of observation period occurred between doses. If a subject reported no subjective symptoms and the investigator did not observe any objective reactions, the next dose of peanut could be provided if determined safe by the investigator. If the investigator identifies objective symptoms, the subject was considered to have failed the OFC. If a subject reported a subjective symptom, the subject was observed. If the subject reported a continuing symptom that did not resolve in 45 minutes, the investigator deemed it necessary to treat the subjective symptom, or the investigator observed any objective symptoms, the subject was considered to have failed the OFC.
[0558] If the subject reports that their subjective symptoms have resolved in less than 45 minutes, in the absence of any objective symptoms, the investigator may choose to continue the challenge if it is determined to be safe and appropriate.
[0559] If the subject reports the same subjective symptom at 3 subsequent doses, irrespective of when it resolves, the subject was considered to have failed the OFC.
[0560] Subjects must fail at or below the 100 mg dose of peanut protein to qualify for the study. If the subject has not displayed symptoms at 100 mg of dosing, the OFC was discontinued. Double-Blind Control Controlled Oral Food Challenge (DBPC OFC): Preparation
[0561] A double-blind control controlled oral food challenge was performed for subjects on cohorts 3-4 and end of treatment (Cohorts 2-4). The administration of active and control challenges occurred at least 3 hours apart, with separate days being acceptable. At screening, both tests needed to be completed at least 7 days after the skin prick test, and at least 7 days prior to randomization.
[0562] Subjects refrained from eating for 4 hours prior to each oral food challenge. Water can be consumed during this time. Subjects discontinued prohibited medications according to the prohibited medications section of this protocol. To maintain the blind, patients were asked to wear nose plugs during consumption of each challenge dose. -116- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Oral Food Challenge (DBPC OFC): Blinding
[0563] A designated unblinded clinical staff member was provided an envelope at the beginning of the OFC, indicating whether the subject started with control or peanut for the challenge. The unblinded clinical member prepared the control and active test kits for the investigator and blinded study team.
[0564] The unblinded staff person maintained source documentation regarding the challenge until completion and the principle investigator determined the results of both challenges.
[0565] Unblinding for the DBPC OFC occurred at completion of the second test, at both screening and end of treatment challenges. Double-Blind Placebo Controlled Oral Food Challenge (DBPC:OFC): Unblinding
[0566] Vital signs were obtained prior to starting the DBPC OFC (including weight, temperature, respiratory rate, heart rate, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, and spirometry). A focused baseline exam of subject’s skin, nose, eyes, oropharynx, heart, and lungs was completed prior to starting the DBPC OFC.
[0567] The screening DBPC OFC consisted of either control or 4 incremental doses (12, 25, 50, and 100 mg) of peanut protein at intervals of at least 20 minutes. Active challenge doses contained peanut protein and the control contained toasted oat flour. The end of treatment DBPC OFC consisted of control or 6 incremental doses of peanut protein (3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 600 mg). The peanut protein or toasted oat flour (control) was delivered using applesauce or pudding as a vehicle.
[0568] At least 20 minutes of observation period occurred between doses. If a subject reported no subjective symptoms and the investigator did not observe any objective reactions, the next dose of peanut was provided if determined safe by the investigator. If the investigator identified objective symptoms, the subject was considered to have failed the DBPC OFC. If a subject reported a subjective symptom, the subject was observed. If the subject reported a continuing symptom that does not resolve in 45 minutes, the investigator deemed it necessary to treat the subjective symptom, or the investigator observed any objective symptoms, the subject was considered to have failed the DBPC OFC. -117- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0569] If the subject reports that their subjective symptoms had resolved in less than 45 minutes, in the absence of any objective symptoms, the investigator may have chosen to continue the challenge if it was determined to be safe and appropriate.
[0570] If the subject reported the same subjective symptom at 3 subsequent doses, irrespective of when it resolved, the subject was considered to have failed the DBPC OFC.
[0571] For the screening DBPC OFC, subjects must have failed at or below the 100 mg dose of peanut protein to qualify for the study. The DBPC OFC was discontinued at 100 mg during screening.
[0572] The following were reported during the DBPC OFC:
[0573] Eliciting Dose: This is the dose (grams of peanut protein) at which an oral food challenge is stopped due to either objective symptoms or significant subjective symptoms.
[0574] Tolerated Dose: This is the dose (grams of protein) just prior to the eliciting dose in an oral food challenge.
[0575] Cumulative Reactive Dose: This is the sum of all the doses in an oral food challenge including the eliciting dose. Safety Precautions
[0576] The investigator, or medically qualified designee, was available in the office during the entire challenge, including any observation period.
[0577] Appropriate rescue medications, according to physician’s local practice was prepared and available prior to starting the procedure.
[0578] Subjects who had a positive peanut challenge were monitored for 2-4 hours after resolution of symptoms prior to discharge from the clinic.
[0579] Subjects who had a negative peanut challenge were monitored for at least 1 hour after the last dose prior to discharge from clinic. Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan
[0580] The subject and Investigator completed a copy of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology’s Anaphylaxis Emergency Action Plan at the time of the -118- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 first Screening Visit, before a skin prick or oral food challenge test is done. The subject was encouraged to carry the form and injectable epinephrine with them while on study. Clinical Safety Laboratory Assessments
[0581] A hematology and chemistry assessment was performed at baseline and at the end of the dosing period. The investigator reviewed the laboratory report, document this review, and record any clinically significant changes occurring during the study as an AE.
[0582] Abnormal laboratory findings associated with the underlying disease were not considered clinically significant unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the subject’s condition.
[0583] All laboratory tests with values considered clinically significantly abnormal during participation in the study or within 30 days after the last dose of study intervention were repeated until the values return to normal or baseline or are no longer considered clinically significant by the investigator or medical monitor.
[0584] If clinically significant values did not return to normal / baseline within a period of time judged reasonable by the investigator, the etiology was identified, and the sponsor notified.
[0585] If laboratory values from non-protocol specified laboratory tests performed at the institution’s local laboratory required a change in subject management or were considered clinically significant by the investigator (e.g., SAE or AE or dose modification), then the results were recorded. Peanut Allergen Testing
[0586] A peanut specific IgE, IgG4, and component testing for Ara h1, Ara h2, Ara h3, Ara h6, Ara h8, and Ara h9 were obtained for each subject according to the SoA. A saliva sample was collected for IgA. Oral Mucosal Brush Biopsy- Specific IgE and IgA
[0587] A 73 / 4inch standard cytology brush (Aeromed, Glastonbury, CT) was inserted along the gingivobuccal sulcus, rotated and moved back and forth approximately 10 times in the upper left quadrant, lower left quadrant, upper right quadrant and lower right quadrant, -119- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 using a separate brush for each side. After the procedure, the brushes were rinsed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to extract mucus and epithelial cells. Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Other Safety Reporting
[0588] An AE was considered untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study subject, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
[0589] An AE can therefore be considered any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study intervention.
[0590] An unsolicited adverse event was considered an adverse event that was not solicited using a Subject Diary and that is communicated by a subject who has signed the informed consent. Unsolicited AEs include serious and non-serious AEs.
[0591] Potential unsolicited AEs may be medically attended (i.e., symptoms or illnesses requiring a hospitalization, or emergency room visit, or visit to / by a health care provider). The subject was instructed to contact the site as soon as possible to report medically attended event(s), as well as any events that, though not medically attended, are of subject concern.
[0592] Unsolicited AEs that were not medically attended nor perceived as a concern by subject were collected during interview with the subject and by review of available medical records at the next visit.
[0593] Solicited AEs were predefined local and systemic events for which the subject is specifically questioned, and which were noted by the subject in their diary.
[0594] AEs were reported by the subject. The investigator and any qualified designees are responsible for detecting, documenting, and recording events that meet the definition of an AE or SAE and remain responsible for following up all AEs. Study-Specific Definitions for Anaphylaxis Adverse Events
[0595] Any anaphylaxis event, irrespective of grade, was be reported to the sponsor, using the EDC, within 24 hours of learning of the event. -120- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Time Period and Frequency for Collecting AE and SAE Information
[0596] All SAEs were collected from signing the ICF until 30 days after completion of study.
[0597] All AEs were collected from randomization and post 1st dose until completion of study.
[0598] Medical occurrences that began before the start of study intervention but after obtaining informed consent were recorded as Medical History / Current Medical Conditions, not as AEs.
[0599] All SAEs were recorded and reported to the sponsor or designee immediately and under no circumstance should this exceed 24 hours. The investigator submitted any updated SAE data to the sponsor within 24 hours of it being available.
[0600] Investigators were obligated to actively seek information on AEs or SAEs beginning after conclusion of the study participation. However, if the investigator learned of any SAE, including a death, at any time after a subject has been discharged from the study, and he / she considers the event to be reasonably related to the study intervention or study participation, the investigator must promptly notify the sponsor. Method of Detecting AEs and SAEs
[0601] Care was taken not to introduce bias when detecting AEs and / or SAEs. Open- ended and non-leading verbal questioning of the subject is the preferred method to inquire about AE occurrences. Follow-up of AEs and SAEs
[0602] After the initial AE / SAE report, the investigator was required to proactively follow each subject at subsequent visits / contacts. All SAEs and AEs were followed until resolution, stabilization, the event was otherwise explained, or the subject was lost to follow-up. Regulatory Reporting Requirements for SAEs
[0603] Prompt notification by the investigator to the sponsor of an SAE is essential so that legal obligations and ethical responsibilities towards the safety of subjects and the safety of a study intervention under clinical investigation are met. -121- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0604] The sponsor has a legal responsibility to notify both the local regulatory authority and other regulatory agencies about the safety of a study intervention under clinical investigation. The sponsor complied with country-specific regulatory requirements relating to safety reporting to the regulatory authority, Institutional Review Boards (IRB) / Independent Ethics Committees (IEC), and investigators.
[0605] An investigator who receives an investigator safety report describing an SAE or other specific safety information (e.g., summary or listing of SAEs) from the sponsor reviewed and then file it along with the Investigator’s Brochure and notified the IRB / IEC, if appropriate according to local requirements. Extended Safety Follow-up
[0606] Subjects with unresolved AEs “possibly,” “probably,” or “definitely” related to study treatment at study exit were followed until resolution or return to baseline condition. Subjects with upper gastrointestinal symptoms concerning for development of eosinophilic esophagitis were referred to gastroenterology for review. These AEs were followed until resolution or return to baseline, irrespective of relationship to study drug. Statistical Considerations
[0607] Missing data: The amount and nature of missing data were characterized and no method of imputation was used for missing data. A summary of missing data was provided according to the number of subjects and the time points where the data are missing. We acknowledge the possibility of informative missingness, that is, the probability of a particular observation being missing may be related to the health of a subject, and therefore all analyses were interpreted with caution.
[0608] Analyses: Measured outcome variables were summarized overall and by relevant demographic and baseline variables. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and relative frequencies were computed for all categorical variables. Numeric variables were summarized using simple descriptive statistics such as the mean, standard deviation and range. A variety of graphical techniques were used to display data. To accommodate the expected within-subject dependence structure, mixed linear models or generalized linear models with a generalized estimating equations approach (GEE) to parameter estimation -122- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 was used as appropriate for exploratory analyses examining the effect of dose level on subject outcomes. The probability of an adverse event at a given dose was estimated along with the 95% exact confidence interval based on the method of Clopper and Pearson. Group comparisons with regards to oral food challenge results (pass vs. fail) was done using Fisher’s exact test. All analyses were carried out using SAS version 9.4 (or higher) statistical software (Cary, NC). Sample Size Determination
[0609] The proposed analysis plan is largely descriptive and thus sample size justification based on formal hypothesis evaluation is not applicable. The proposed cohort sample size is that which is most common with Phase I design; see Buoen et al. (2005). The probability of observing an adverse event within this study is a function of the true unknown probability of an adverse event corresponding to the study population. Table 14 below contains the probability of observing at least one adverse event within our study of 24 subjects receiving study intervention for a variety of values of the true probability within the population. Table 14: Adverse Event Probabilities Probability of True AE
[0610] The calculatiption that the study sample may be treated as a random sample from the population of interest with the probability being based on the binomial cumulative distribution function. If there does exist an unacceptable -123- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 safety profile associated with the study intervention defined by a higher probability of experiencing adverse events, there is an adequate probability of observing such events within the study. Analysis software
[0611] All statistical was performed using the SAS statistical software package (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC), version 9.4 or higher, or Microsoft® Excel 2019 or higher (Microsoft Corp., Redmond, WA). Analysis Sets
[0612] The definition for each subject analysis set should be defined at the subject level. Optionally, to implement the estimand framework, defined analysis data sets may be included here in a separate table that specify the set of data used in the analysis for a given estimand (or family of estimands that differ only in endpoint) based on how key intercurrent events were handled for that estimand. Analysis sets are defined in Table 15 and Table 16. Table 15: Subject Analysis Set Subject Analysis Set Description eTable 16: Defined Analysis Data Sets Defined Analysis Data Description-124- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Defined set 2 All randomized subjects who are exposed to study intervention. For subjects who discontinue study
[0613] Other than study cohort and dose received, due to limited sample size, there were no additionally defined study subgroup definitions to be utilized in analysis of study data. Analyses
[0614] The final statistical analysis was performed by the study statistician. The study statistician performs or oversees and approves all descriptive analyses and generation of all tables, figures and listings based on study data. This analysis was conducted in full compliance with the analysis plan, the study protocol, and all applicable U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulations.
[0615] The following is the general approach to all analyses: Categorical variables are summarized as frequencies and percentages in each category. In general, the denominator for percentages were the number of subjects within the defined data set. Percentages were reported to one decimal place. In general, continuous variables were summarized by numbers of subjects, means, standard deviations, medians, and ranges. -125- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0616] The number of decimal places for minimums and maximums were the same as the original data. The number of decimal places for means, medians, and interquartile ranges are the same as the original data plus one. The number of decimal places for measures of variance is the same as the original data plus two. Laboratory data with qualifiers (e.g., “<”) are listed with but summarized without the qualifier. All performed statistical tests are two-sided. P-values are presented to four decimal places if 0.0001 or greater. P-values < 0.0001 are presented as “< 0.0001.” There are no significance level adjustments to control type I error.
[0617] Analyses are performed for all previously defined subject analysis sets. In addition to comparisons between study cohorts and assigned treatment, summaries also accounted for differences in protocol specified dose schedules and participation within the maintenance period. Analysis of Primary Objective: Primary Analyses
[0618] The primary analysis of tolerability of the protocol-specified highest dose is a descriptive summarized 1) overall and 2) by study cohort. Systemic and non-systemic adverse reaction events are a descriptive summarized by 1) the cross-classification of study cohort and dose level received, and 2) only dose level received. In addition to summary statistics, a listing of the adverse reactions is also provided. The probabilities of tolerability of the protocol-specified highest dose and dose-specific systemic and non-systemic adverse reactions incidence was estimated along with the 95% exact confidence interval based on the method of Clopper and Pearson (1934). Analysis of Primary Objective: Supportive Analyses
[0619] Additional model-based analyses took place in the examination of systemic and non-systemic adverse reaction events, making use of the repeated measures observed for each subject. In order to accommodate the expected within-subject dependence structure, mixed linear models or generalized linear models with a generalized estimating equations approach (GEE) to parameter estimation were used for exploratory analyses examining the effect of dose level received on subject outcomes. -126- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Analysis of Secondary Objective
[0620] Secondary endpoints are a descriptive summarized by 1) the cross- classification of study cohort and dose level received, and 2) only dose level received. Analysis of Exploratory Objective
[0621] In all data presentations (except listings), values beyond the limit of quantification (LQ) were set to the LQ. In listings, LQ values are reported as “>LQ” or “<LQ”, as appropriate, where LQ is replaced with the value for the limit of quantification.
[0622] Pre-treatment and post-treatment IgG4, IgA and IgE level values and within- subject changes in these values were assessed using descriptive statistics. The association between changes in these collected quantitative variables with covariates such as subject age, food allergy status, whether the subject entered the maintenance period or not, OFC response, etc., were examined using linear models in an exploratory fashion.
[0623] Patient response to pre-treatment and post treatment oral food challenges is also summarized. As not all patients have an observed eliciting dose during the OFC, distributional estimates pertaining to subject eliciting dose, tolerated dose, and cumulative reactive dose, and changes in these quantities from baseline to end-of-treatment, was obtained using the product-limit based Kaplan Meier method. Estimated percentiles from these distributional estimates were then obtained. Between treatment group comparisons were performed using the log-rank test. In addition, the observed eliciting dose or highest dose received was calculated for each patient, summarized, and then compared between groups using standard methods, with a similar statistical approach taken for tolerated dose and cumulative reactive dose. Handling of Missing Values
[0624] The amount and nature of missing data was characterized, and no method of imputation was used for missing data. A summary of missing data is provided according to the number of subjects, the time points where the data are missing, and clinical center. For each clinical center, the number and percent of subjects with no missing data is presented in tabular form. There is a possibility of informative missingness, that is, the probability of a -127- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 particular observation being missing may be related to the health of a subject, and therefore analyses are interpreted with caution. Analysis of Baseline Variables
[0625] Baseline characteristics such as demographics and baseline physical exam results are tabulated and listed. This was done overall and by 1) study cohort and 2) dose level received. Informed Consent Process
[0626] Informed consent, data protection, safety review, and data quality assurance were conducted under all applicable guidelines necessary for this study. Results Self-Reported Adherence
[0627] Self-reported adherence was recorded by the subject. Results of self-reported adherence are detailed in Table 17 and Table 18. Table 17: Self-Reported Adherence Based on Data Diary Only Toothpaste Use: Toothpaste Use: Compliance-128- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Cohort 2 1 134 135 99% Cohort 2 2 127 129 98%Table 18: Summary of Self-Reported Adherence Based on Data Diary Only Among all Cohorts Toothpaste Use: Toothpaste Use: Compliance-129- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Early Termination Details
[0628] A total of 4 subjects terminated the study early. Details of the early termination of these subjects is detailed in Table 19. Table 19: Early Termination Details Total Days Max Dose Cohort on Treatment Received Reason for Early TerminationSubject recalls using IP through December and losing IP in January, but last diary entry was Nov-20. Actual IP usage is probably around 185-200 days total. **Subject misplaced diaries before EOT visit and was not sure what last day using IP was. Actual IP usage is probably around 70-80 days total. ***Subject misplaced IP on 11 / 13, but last diary entry was 11 / 1. Actual IP usage is probably around 75-85 days total. Protocol Deviations
[0629] There were 122 protocol deviations that occurred during the study.
[0630] Participants by Protocol-Defined Analysis Set: Safety (All patients that received at least one dose of assigned treatment): 32 subjects; Per Protocol (All randomized patients that receive assigned treatment as dictated per protocol): 27 subjects; Efficacy Evaluable Set (All randomized patients that receive assigned treatment with no more than 14 days noncompliance with study treatment during the course of the study): 31 subjects; OFC Evaluable Set (All randomized patients that underwent a baseline and end of treatment Oral Food Challenge): 14 subjects.
[0631] Dose Modifications included the following: -130- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0632] A first subject from Cohort 2: One day after the subject's Week 18 visit, the subject's dose was decreased from 80 mg daily to 40 mg daily until their next visit which was the off-treatment visit. This was due to a face rash adverse event.
[0633] A second subject from Cohort 2: the subject stayed at a dose level of 9 mg daily rather than increasing the dose level to 18 mg daily as the protocol dictates. This was due to asthma and cough adverse events.7 days later the subject increased to 18 mg daily and resumed the protocol specified up dosing schedule for all subsequent visits.
[0634] A subject from Cohort 1: the subject's dose was held due to a mouth sores adverse event. The subject's dose was resumed on January 8, 2022 at the subject's last tolerable dose which was .083 mg daily. After resuming a dose hold at the subject's last tolerable dose of 0.083 mg daily, the subject also did not up dose to the next dose level at their next visit. Due to nasal itching and running nose adverse events, the subject remained at 0.083 mg daily.
[0635] A first subject from Cohort 4: The subject stayed at a dose level of 18 mg daily rather than increasing the dose level to 40mg daily as the protocol dictates. This was due to experiencing a throat swelling adverse event at the study visit. At the subject's next visit 2 weeks later, the subject increased to 40 mg daily and resumed the protocol specified up- dosing schedule for all subsequent visits.
[0636] A second subject from Cohort 4: The subject stayed at a dose level of 2.25 mg daily rather than increasing the dose level to 4.5 mg daily as the protocol dictates. This was due to an investigator decision and related to compliance issues with the subject using the study treatment. The same decision was made at the subject's next visit. The subject remained at 2.25 mg daily again due to compliance issues. The subject's dose did increase to 4.5 mg daily at the next visit. The subject was reduced from 4.5 mg daily to 0.753 mg daily due to a >14-day lapse in using study treatment which was due to misplacing the IP. End of Study Tolerance Changes
[0637] Increase in max tolerated dose of peanut protein was observed in subjects across cohorts 2, 3, and 4 from baseline to end of study and / or after 48 weeks. Select patient details are shown in Tables 20-23 and illustrated in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, among -131- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 subjects who performed DBPCOFC at entry, 100% of treatment group subjects (n=3) passed, and 50% of control group subjects (n=20 passed food challenges comprising 300 mg of peanut protein or more. Of 9 subjects in cohorts 1-3 enrolled using open OFCs (i.e., were informed they were ingesting peanut), 79% of treatment group subjects (n=9) passed exit DBPCOFC at 300 mg or more of peanut protein compared to 60% of control group subjects (n=5). Table 20: End of Study, Un-blinded Oral Food Challenge in 14 Patients Patient Profile Max Tolerated Intervention Dose of Peanut emg of peanut protein. Maximum tolerated dose is highest dose increment taken without need for rescue medication.2Baseline OFC began at 12mg with incremental doses of 25+50+100mg of peanut protein. A patient not able to ingest 12mg means they could not even ingest the lowest dose administered. -132- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Table 21: Active Long-Term Safety Group Entry and Exit Measurements Max Max Tolerated Cumulative Wheal Entry Exit Entry Exit Entry Exit Entry Exit Tolerated D e lbut yl ylTable 22: Short Term Safety Group Entry and Exit Measurements Wheal Entry Exit Entry Exit Entry Exit Entry Exit Study OL Gender Age Dia sIgE sIgE Ara h Ara h IgG4 IgG4 IgE / IgG IgE / IgG 8 9 5 6 7 3-133- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 Y 2 M 30 12.4 29.2 >100 8.1 61.7 0.27 2.19 108.15 45.66 Median 21 11.4 10.2 8.9 2.31 2.5 0.33 0.47 15.69 13.38 1 5Max Max Cumulative Wheal Entry Exit Entry Exit Entry Exit Entry Exit Tolerated Tolerated Study Dose Rescue ds ne ne tec ne neEnd of Study Antibody Changes
[0638] Peanut specific immunoglobulins (IgE, IgG4 and IgE / IgG4 ratio) were also measured at baseline and at study exit to assess if OMIT with INT301 induced an immunomodulatory response in treated subjects relative to control subjects. Changes in peanut lab values and peanut-specific antibody levels were also observed in DBPCOFC subjects from baseline to the end of study (FIGS.3A-3D and Tables 24 and 25). While trends in peanut lab value changes from baseline to end of study were variable, changes in peanut- specific antibodies were more distinct in treatment groups relative to control (FIG.3B). When comparing study entry to study exit IgE:IgG4 ratios, there was a greater reduction in the ratio in treatment group subjects relative to control group suspects, which may be representative of a immunologic response to INT301 treatment (FIG.3A).
[0639] Across subjects entering the study with ≥ 1.75 KU / L, there were 4 of 5 subjects in the treatment group who passed OFC at ≥ 300 mg of peanut protein compared to 1 of 3 -134- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 subjects in the control group. (FIG. 3B). At end of study, 80% (n=4 of 5) treatment group subjects having total serum IgE at entry above 12 kUA / L + skin prick test (SPT) Wheal Diameter ≥ 300 mm passed OFC at ≥ 300 mg of peanut protein (FIG.3C). No (n=0) control group subjects entered the study with levels at or above that threshold.
[0640] No statistical difference in sIgE was observed in treated subjects compared with control subjects in any of the Cohorts, both at baseline and at end of study.
[0641] The serum level of IgG4 in Cohort 1 (group 1) remained unchanged from baseline to end of study in both active and placebo subjects.
[0642] However, a statistically significant increase in IgG4 (p<0.046) was observed in treated subjects in group 2 (a&b) who participated in the long-term safety assessment of INT301, relative to control subjects. Within-subject Percentage Difference in IgG4 Value from Baseline to End of Study for Study Group 2: Control (n=4, Estimated Mean=68.2%, 95% CI LB=-0.72%, 95% CI UB=135.7%), Treatment (n=9, Estimated Mean=666.2%, 95% CI LB=80.6%, 95% CI UB=1251.8%), Diff (1-2) (Estimated Mean=-598.0%, 95% CI LB=- 1184.7%, 95% CI UB=11.6%, T-test p-value=0.046). There was a statistically significance between the mean percent changes for control and treatment arms as determined by the two-sample t-test (p-value >0.046). Participants in this group completed a combination of open OFC at entry and completed a DBPCOFC at study exit.
[0643] IgE / IgG4 Ratio: The increase in IgG4 in group 2 subjects (a&b) inversely correlated with decrease in IgE / IgG4 ratio, consistent with an immunomodulatory response to treatment. This ratio change was only observed in subjects who completed the long terms safety assessment of OMIT with INT301.

[0647] Frequency of Participants that Experienced an AE:
[0648] The number and percentage of participants in both treatment and control groups that experienced an AE was recorded over the duration of the study.
[0649] 12.5% (1 / 8) control subjects and 4.2% (1 / 24) treatment subjects experienced a systemic AE possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug. All of these systemic AEs were possibly related to study drug and mild.
[0650] 87.5% (7 / 8) control subjects and 87.5% (21 / 24) treatment subjects experienced a non-systemic AE possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug. All of these non- systemic AEs were mild.
[0651] No moderate or severe AEs were experienced by control subjects.2 moderate and 1 severe AE were experienced by treatment subjects with all 3 of these AEs unlikely related or unrelated to study drug.
[0652] 3 systemic and 10 non-systemic AEs required treatment. All 3 of the systemic AEs requiring treatment were experienced by participants in the treatment group and were unrelated to study drug. The 10 non-systemic AEs requiring treatment were experienced by 6 different participants, 5 in the treatment group and 1 in the control group. Of these non- systemic AEs requiring treatment, 3 instances were unrelated to study drug, 2 instances were unlikely related to study drug, 3 instances were possibly related to study drug, and 2 instances were probably related to study drug. All AEs that required treatment are recovered / resolved.
[0653] Tables 29-32 show the AE frequency per severity, relationship to study drug, and between the control and treatment groups. 87.5% (7 / 8) control subjects and 91.7% (22 / 24) treatment subjects experienced an AE while on study. -138- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0654] Cohort 3 experienced the most AE’s and experienced the longest-lasting average AE when compared to Cohort 2 and Cohort 4. Of total AE’s experienced among subjects, the majority were mild, especially when the AE’s were categorized as bring only “possibly,” “probably,” or “definitely” related to INT301 treatment.
[0655] Cohort 3 also experienced the most AE’s compared to Cohort 2 and Cohort 4 during the maintenance phase, including when the AE’s were categorized as bring only “possibly,” “probably,” or “definitely” related to INT301 treatment .
[0656] The most common lowest level term and preferred term AE’s among subjects were itching mouth, itching tongue, and throat swelling and oral pruritus and pharyngeal swelling, respectively. The most common system organ class (SOC) associated with AE’s were gastrointestinal disorders. However, among AE’s with at least 5 instances categorized as being “possibly,” “probably,” or “definitely” related to INT301 treatment, nausea and nasal itching lasted the longest.
[0657] Table 41 shows the number of participants who reported a TEAE during each study phase: initial dose, dose escalation and maintenance phases, respectively. A slight increase in localized oral and nasal symptoms were reported in active, relative to placebo subjects, including oral pruritis, lip swelling, nasal congestion and rhinorrhea. All AEs were reported to be localized, mild, transient, and occurred mainly during the up-dosing phase, consistent with an immunological response to treatment. Once the maintenance dose was achieved, a gradual decrease in the frequency of these symptoms was observed during the remaining course of the study.
[0658] A few participants had a disproportionate number of AE’s which accounted for approximately 30% of all reported AE’s. For example, in the control group, the majority of the AE’s were reported by a single subject. This subject was assigned to cohort 3 / group 2A and self-reported a total of 292 AE’s. Notably, this subject was part of the control arm and did not receive active treatment. Therefore, with this subject demonstrating a disproportionate number of AE’s, this resulted in a considerable increased the total number of reported AE’s in the study. -139- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00
[0659] A subject in the treatment group self-reported 200 AE’s all of which were considered mild and resolve effectively with symptomatic treatment. This patient was assigned to cohort 3 / group 2A.

[0667] There were no clinically significant findings in the vital signs measurements, physical examination assessments, or other observations related to safety in this study. The assessments and observations were comparable across study arms.
[0668] No changes in oral health were noted on the regular oral exams conducted during the trial. A full dental exam was performed at screening to ensure eligibility. At each subsequent up-dosing visit and at study exit, an oral exam was performed by the Investigator according to the schedule of events. Physical Examination Findings
[0669] No significant changes were identified in physical examinations in either the treatment or control group. Evaluation of Response to Study Intervention
[0670] Study data were summarized by group using percentages, means, or medians, for data which are binary, numeric, or numeric subject to censoring, respectively. Corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Group differences were statistically assessed using Barnard’s test, the two-sample t-test, or the log-rank test, as appropriate, with p-values < 0.05 denoting statistical significance. Interpretation of the DBPCOFC outcomes in Cohort 4 (group 2b)
[0671] Results for Cohort 4 (Group 2b)
[0672] Table 54 shows the eliciting oral food challenge doses for both treatment and control assignments in group 2b at baseline as described by the median and corresponding 95% confidence interval for each group. Note upper CI bounds were not able to be calculated due to an insufficient number of events. At baseline, no significant difference between the two groups was observed, as determined by the log-rank test (p-value = 0.7) however the median eliciting dose in the control group was 18.5 mg and the median eliciting dose in treatment group was 12 mg. This difference may indicate a slightly more allergic population in the treatment group, however this was not significant.

There was no significant difference between the two groups as determined by the log-rank test (p-value = 0.89). The median eliciting dose in the treatment group was estimated to be 600 mg. Estimation of the median in the control group and calculation of the upper bounds of the confidence intervals in both groups was not possible due to smaller sample size and lack of events. Not all participants showed an eliciting dose at end of study as some did not meet criteria for the eliciting dose when they were challenged at the maximum dose of 600 mg.
[0674] Similar tabulated comparisons of the baseline and end of study eliciting dose were recorded for Cohort 2 & 3 (group 2 a). However, because the subjects in Cohort 4 / group 2b were the only participants to undergo a DPBCOFC both at study entry and study exit, only this subset of participants were evaluable for the investigation of efficacy of INT301. Table 55: Eliciting Oral Food Challenge Doses at End of Study- Group 2b Randomized Treatment Sampl Number of Estimated 95% CI 95% CI Log rank test
[0675] An exemplary case study control subject was assessed, and results are shown in Table 56. The subject was a 24-year-old female subject with a history of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis who met entry criteria for the peanut study including a positive oral food challenge. This subject experienced several local adverse events (AEs) including mouth, throat, and tongue itching reported to be possibly related to study drug. The subject underwent DBPCOFC at study entry and exit. At study entry, subject failed oral challenge at 25 mg of orally ingested peanut. Despite having been randomized to the control group and -156- 152511.8001.WO00\169170466.16Attorney Docket No.: 152551.8001.WO00 receiving no active treatment, this subject tolerated orally ingested 600 mg peanut at study exit. The subject’s entry laboratory values were at lower end of protocol inclusion criteria, questioning true allergy to peanut, and the exit laboratory values were inconsistent with clear immunologic response to therapy. This subject had isolated, elevated entry value of component Ara h 8 at 16.6 kU / L, a marker of mild reactions consistent with tolerance to peanuts and consistent with pollen food allergy syndrome.

[0677] This demonstrates that Ara h 8 screening, in addition to other peanut components, may be useful as a standard part of the entry criteria into peanut immunotherapy clinical trials. Isolated sensitization to Ara h 8 may be secondary to birch pollen sensitization and may be associated with tolerance to peanut allergens with limited symptoms. Component diagnostics may facilitate the differentiation between different phenotypes of peanut sensitized patients. Additional Embodiments
