Study Summary

This trial is testing VE416 as a possible treatment for peanut allergies. It is comparing it to low-dose peanut oral immunotherapy (PNOIT) to see if it is more effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 12-55 with a confirmed peanut allergy, who can swallow capsules and are not pregnant or breastfeeding. They shouldn't have immune deficiencies, severe anaphylaxis history, poorly-controlled asthma, or be on certain heart medications or other immunomodulatory treatments.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests VE416 as either a pretreatment or alongside low-dose peanut oral immunotherapy (PNOIT). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: some getting the real treatment plus PNOIT and others getting placebo versions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical allergic reactions due to exposure to allergens during the therapy process. Specific side effects related to VE416 are not detailed but could align with common immunotherapy responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What pathological conditions are customarily treated with Vancomycin plus VE416 in conjunction with PNOIT?

"By combining Vancomycin with VE416 and PNOIT, one can successfully treat staphylococcal contagions, infections caused by staph bacteria, as well as enterocolitis induced by Staphylococcus aureus."

Answered by AI

Are there particular demographics that would be optimal for this experiment?

"This study is looking for 60 participants aged 12 to 55 years old with a documented history of peanut allergies. In order to qualify, those interested must be from all backgrounds and genders, have had an allergic reaction requiring treatment after ingesting 100 mgs of peanut protein during the entry challenge, and consent if they are age-appropriate."

Answered by AI

What is the aggregate size of the cohort participating in this clinical trial?

"Affirmative, the information present on clinicaltrials.gov attests to this trial's active recruitment of participants. It was originally posted June 28th 2019 and recently revised April 4th 2022, with 60 people needed at one research centre."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment still available for this research endeavor?

"Affirmative, the data hosted on clinicaltrials.gov attests to this study's recruitment status; it was posted in June 28th 2019 and last updated April 4th 2022. The trial is seeking 60 subjects at a single site."

Answered by AI

Can you provide details on any prior experiments involving the combination of Vancomycin plus VE416 with PNOIT?

"Presently, there are 55 active clinical trials utilizing Vancomycin plus VE416 with PNOIT. Of these studies, 6 have progressed to Stage 3 of the trial process. While most of them are located in Jupiter, Florida, they span 315 sites globally."

Answered by AI

Is this experiment in need of volunteers who are at least twenty years old?

"Those seeking to participate in this medical trial must fall between 12 and 55 years of age. Additionally, there are 94 separate studies available for minors, while those older than 65 can access 201 different clinical trials."
