For young, peanut-allergic children, dietary avoidance is the current standard of care. We evaluated whether peanut oral immunotherapy (PnOIT) can induce desensitization (an increased allergic reaction threshold while on therapy) and/or remission (a state of nonresponsiveness following discontinuation of immunotherapy) in this population. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 5 US centers among children (ages 12–<48 months), reactive to ≤500 mg peanut protein during double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC). Participants were computer-randomized using a 2:1 allocation ratio to receive PnOIT or placebo for 134 weeks (2000 mg peanut protein/day) followed by 26 weeks of avoidance with participants and study staff/investigators blinded to treatment arm assignment. Desensitization at the end of treatment (week 134), as the primary outcome, and remission after avoidance (week 160), as the key secondary outcome, were assessed by DBPCFC to 5000 mg. Safety and immunological parameters were assessed. Of 146 children, with a median age of 39.3 (IQR:30.8,44.7) months, randomized from August 2013 to October 2015, 96 were assigned and analyzed in the PnOIT-treatment arm and 50 in the placebo-treatment arm. At week 134, 68/96 (71%; 95% CI:61%,80%) PnOIT-treated compared to 1/50 (2%; 95% CI:0.05%,11%) placebo-treated participants met the primary outcome of desensitization (risk difference (RD)=69%; 95% CI:59%,79%; p<0.0001). The median cumulative tolerated dose (CTD) during the week 134 DBPCFC was 5005 mg (Interquartile Range (IQR):3755,5005) for PnOIT-treated versus 5 mg (IQR:0,105) for placebo-treated (p<0.0001). After avoidance, 20/96 (21%; 95% CI:13%,30%) on PnOIT compared to 1/50 (2%; 95% CI:0.05%,11%) on placebo met remission criteria (RD:19%; 95% CI:10%,28%; p=0.0021). The median CTD during the week 160 DBPCFC was 755 mg (IQR:0,2755) for the PnOIT-treated and 0 mg (IQR:0,55) for placebo-treated (p<0.0001). A significant proportion of PnOIT participants who passed the 5000 mg DBPCFC at week 134 could no longer tolerate 5000 mg at week 160 (p<0.001). The placebo participant who was desensitized at week 134 also achieved remission at week 160. Compared to placebo treatment, peanut- and Ara h2-specific-IgE, skin prick test, and basophil activation decreased, while peanut- and Ara h2-specific-IgG4 increased in PnOIT-treated participants at weeks 134 and 160. Using multivariable regression analysis of PnOIT-treated participants, younger age and lower baseline peanut-specific IgE was predictive of remission. Most participants (98% PnOIT vs. 80% placebo) experienced at least 1 OIT dosing reaction, predominantly mild-moderate and occurring more frequently in PnOIT-treated participants; 35 OIT dosing events with moderate symptoms were treated with epinephrine in 21 PnOIT participants. In peanut-allergic children, initiation of PnOIT before age 4 years is associated with an increase in both desensitization and remission. Development of remission correlates with immunologic biomarkers. The outcomes suggest a window of opportunity at a young age for intervention to induce remission.
