Multi OIT to Test Immune Markers After Minimum Maintenance Dose
United States60 participantsStarted 2017-07-31
Plain-language summary
Few studies have been conducted to optimize safety of multiple food allergen oral immunotherapy (OIT) in conjunction with Omalizumab as well as to identify the immunological mechanism(s) underlying any long-lasting effects of OIT. To address these issues in the field of food allergy research, we have designed this study to test whether: 1) Omalizumab improves the safety of multiple food allergen OIT in subjects with multi food allergies, 2) Omalizumab treatment with multiple food allergen OIT is associated with the ability to use a lower maintenance dose of each food allergens in the OIT regimen, particularly in younger subjects with food allergies.

* Sensitivity to food allergens documented by a positive skin prick test result greater than or equal to 6mm wheal diameter to each allergen or
* ImmunoCAP IgE level \>4kU/L for each allergen and
* If female of child bearing potential, a negative urine pregnancy test before being allowed to participate in the study (week 0) and
* A plan to remain in the study area of the research center during the trial and
* Be trained on the proper use of the Epinephrine autoinjector and agree to follow epi training to be allowed to enroll in the study and
* If female of child-bearing potential, willing to be compliant with a medically-approved method of contraception (please see Pregnancy section in this IND document) and
* Agree to eliminate other known food allergens from subject's diet so as not to confound the safety and efficacy data from the study and
* Avoid open or blinded food challenges to food allergens
Exclusion Criteria:
* Previous anaphylactic reaction to Omalizumab
* A history of severe anaphylaxis to food allergens that will be desensitized in this study requiring intubation or admission to an ICU, frequent allergic or non-allergic urticaria, or history consistent with poorly contr…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
