Research Opportunity: ACCELERATE Peanut Study

ACCELERATE Peanut Study

Have you or your teen been diagnosed with peanut allergy?

You may be eligible to take part in a new study exploring whether an investigational medicine called IGNX001 can help treat peanut allergy in teens and adults.

Overview

The phase 1, randomised, double-blind study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of an injectable, allergen-specific antibodies that targets peanut protein.

The study will help understand if IGNX001 can be used to help ease allergic reactions that might happen after accidental peanut exposure. It will monitor the safety of IGNX001, track how participants respond to it, and explore whether participants improve their tolerance to peanut protein exposure after receiving IGNX001.

The study is recruiting participants at:

• Fiona Stanley Hospital (Western Australia) – Recruiting ages 15-55
• St Vincent’s Hospital (NSW) – Recruiting ages 18-55
• The Royal Melbourne Hospital (Victoria) – Recruiting ages 18-55
• Monash Health (Victoria) – Recruiting ages 15-55

• Be 15 to 55 years old
• Have a history of peanut allergy, including having experienced a serious allergic reaction to peanut in the past 15 years

You or your teen cannot take part if you have:

• A history of severe or life-threatening anaphylaxis requiring admission to the intensive care unit within the last year
• A history of severe or uncontrolled asthma within the past six months
• Any clinically significant liver, kidney, cardiac or mast cell disease or uncontrolled chronic disease
• Received food allergen immunotherapy treatment or participated in a similar study in the past 12 months

What’s involved in the study

The study runs for up to six months, and involves:

• Regular visits to your study centre
• Receiving up to four injections
