Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the efficacy of oral immunotherapy for the desensitisation of peanut allergy in children (STOP II): a phase 2 randomised controlled trial
Katherine Anagnostou,Sabita Islam,Y. King,Loraine Foley,Laura Pasea,Simon Bond,Simon Bond,Christopher R. Palmer,John Deighton,Pamela Ewan,Andrew Clark +10 more
TL;DR: OIT successfully induced desensitisation in most children within the study population with peanut allergy of any severity, with a clinically meaningful increase in peanut threshold.
Journal ArticleDOI
Successful oral tolerance induction in severe peanut allergy
TL;DR: This data indicates that peanut allergy is common, potentially severe and rarely resolves causing impaired quality of life, and there is a need to develop a therapeutic intervention.
Journal ArticleDOI
IgG4 inhibits peanut-induced basophil and mast cell activation in peanut-tolerant children sensitized to peanut major allergens.
Alexandra F. Santos,Louisa K. James,Henry T. Bahnson,Mohammed H. Shamji,Natália Couto-Francisco,Sabita Islam,Sally Houghton,Andrew Clark,Alick Stephens,Victor Turcanu,Stephen R. Durham,Hannah J. Gould,Gideon Lack +12 more
TL;DR: Differences in sIgE levels and allergen specificity could not justify the clinical phenotype in all children with PA and PS children and blocking IgG4 antibodies provide an additional explanation for the absence of clinical reactivity in PS patients sensitized to major peanut allergens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy and safety of high-dose peanut oral immunotherapy with factors predicting outcome.
TL;DR: Background Peanut allergy is severe and rarely resolves and the likelihood of developing peanut allergy in the future is low.
