Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Following double blind oral food challenges (DPBPFC) to boiled and roasted peanut and placebo, peanut allergic children aged 5-16 years will undergo randomisation to 3 arms of 12 months of treatment with 1. Increasing doses of boiled peanut daily commencing at 0.5 grams. 2. Increasing doses of roasted peanut daily commencing at 0.5 gram.
For arms 1 and 2- Induction phase with updosing over 6 months and further 6 months maintenance (8g) daily. Updosing under supervision. Peanut preparations suppled to parents for daily home administration between updosing and during maintenance. Compliance by daily diary.
Arm 3. No treatment (delayed start) to cross over at 12 months to boiled peanut OIT as per arm 1 following further DBPCFC.
Children roasted allergic/boiled tolerant will proceed directly to daily boiled peanut maintenance at 8g over 12 months.
Intervention code [1] 288903 0
Treatment: Other
Comparator / control treatment
Boiled peanut oral immunotherapy (OIT) will be compared with standard roasted peanut OIT and no treatment. Those children randomised to no treatment will cross over and receive boiled peanut immunotherapy at 12 months. Roasted OIT is considered current standard OIT.
Control group
Active

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Study is powered to detect a 50 fold change in thershold to roasted peanut at 12 months of immunotherapy compared with control (no intervention). We calculated to have 95% power to detect a 50-fold difference in threshold between the two active arms of the challenge at the 5% significance level we will require 20 peanut peanut allergic children with completed challenges. Allowing for a 30% attrition rate we will recruit 30 peanut allergic children. Primary analysis will be by non parametric t tests.
