PVX108, a peptide immunotherapy designed to treat peanut allergy, showed negligible activation of peanut-sensitized basophils and induced a shift in peanut-reactive T-cell phenotype balance to reduce Th2A dominance in a randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1 clinical trial in peanut-allergic adults.
BackgroundFood allergy is a leading cause of anaphylaxis worldwide. Allergen-specific immunotherapy is the only treatment shown to modify the natural history of allergic disease, but application to food allergy has been hindered by risk of severe allergic reactions and short-lived efficacy. Allergen-derived peptides could provide a solution. PVX108 comprises seven short peptides representing immunodominant T-cell epitopes of major peanut allergens for treatment of peanut allergy.MethodsPre-clinical safety of PVX108 was assessed using ex vivo basophil activation tests (n = 185). Clinical safety and tolerability of single and repeat PVX108 doses were evaluated in a first-in-human, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in peanut-allergic adults (46 active, 21 placebo). The repeat-dose cohort received six doses over 16 weeks with safety monitored to 21 weeks. Exploratory immunological analyses were performed at pre-dose, Week 21 and Month 18 after treatment.ResultsPVX108 induced negligible activation of peanut-sensitised basophils. PVX108 was safe and well tolerated in peanut-allergic adults. There were no treatment-related hypersensitivity events or AEs of clinical concern. The only events occurring more frequently in active than placebo were mild injection site reactions. Exploratory immunological analyses revealed a decrease in the ratio of ST2+ Th2A:CCR6+ Th17-like cells within the peanut-reactive Th pool which strengthened following treatment.ConclusionThis study supports the concept that PVX108 could provide a safe alternative to whole peanut immunotherapies and provides evidence of durable peanut-specific T-cell modulation. Translation of these findings to clinical efficacy in ongoing Phase 2 trials would provide important proof-of-concept for using peptides to treat food allergy. PVX108 is a peptide immunotherapy designed to treat peanut allergy.PVX108 induced negligible activation of peanut-sensitized basophils ex vivo.A randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 1 clinical trial showed that PVX108 was safe and well tolerated in peanut-allergic adults and induced a shift in peanut-reactive T-cell phenotype balance to reduce Th2A dominance.image
