Phase 2 POISED (Peanut Oral Immunotherapy: Safety, Efficacy, Discovery) Study In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (DBPC) clinical trial, blinded placebo group received oat flour, whereas in active participants, dosage was built-up for over ~ 52 weeks and subsequently maintained on 4000 mg peanut protein, daily for next 52 weeks. 80 (98.77%) per-protocol active participants passed the food challenge at week 104. Subsequently, for 12 weeks, peanut ingestion was avoided in a randomized group of 51 blinded active participants (i.e., peanut avoidance group). 21 (41.2%) participants in the peanut avoidance group passed the 4000 mg double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge (DBPCFC) without any allergic reaction at week 117, thus demonstrating sustained unresponsiveness. These 21 participants continued oral immunotherapy (OIT) for every three months and afterwards were allowed to continue peanut OIT discontinuation if they passed. 8 participants passed the DBPCFCs, 12 months after peanut discontinuation (week 156), i.e. they achieved long-term sustained unresponsiveness with no allergic reaction in response to food challenge.
