OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 44 weeks

Allergic reactivity of mast cells is assessed by skin prick testing through measurement of the wheal diameter after exposure to peanut. This outcome measure reports the change in skin prick test wheal diameter from baseline through the end of the treatment period.

Change From Baseline in the Wheal Diameter, as Assessed by the Skin Prick Test (SPT) to Peanut
-8.8 mm
Interval -24.5 to 5.5

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 44 weeks

Population: Blood work was not able to be obtained from 1 of 16 evaluable subjects

The investigation of mechanistic changes that occur in the immune system over the duration of the study - Peanut specific immunoglobin E (IgE)
