Efficacy and Safety of QGE031 (Ligelizumab) in Patients With Peanut Allergy
About the study
This is a 52-week, Phase 3 multi-center, randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and clinical efficacy of two dosing regimens of ligelizumab (240 mg and 120 mg) subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks (SCq4w) in participants with a medically confirmed diagnosis of IgE-mediated peanut allergy.
Who can take part
You may be eligible to participate in the study if you meet the following criteria:
INCLUSION CRITERIA
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female participants who are ≥ 6 and ≤ 55 years of age at the time of signing informed consent/assent.

- Positive peanut-specific immunoglobulin E (peanut sIgE), ≥ 0.35 kUA/L at Screening visit 1 (Screening 1).
- Positive skin prick test (SPT) for peanut allergen at Screening 1 defined as an average diameter (Longest diameter and mid-point orthogonal diameter) ≥ 4 mm wheal compared to saline control.
- A positive peanut DBPCFC at baseline (Screening Visit 2, Part 1 and Part 2 DBPCFC) defined as the occurrence of dose-limiting symptoms at a single dose ≤ 100 mg of peanut protein. Eligibility to proceed with the DBPCFC requires fulfillment of all other eligibility criteria.
- Participants must weigh ≥ 20 kg at Screening 1.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Exclusion Criteria:
- Total IgE >2000 IU/mL at Screening 1.
- History of severe or life-threatening hypersensitivity event needing an ICU admission or intubation within 60 days prior to baseline DBPCFC (Screening visit 2).
- Participants with uncontrolled asthma (according to GINA guidelines, GINA 2020) who meet any of the following criteria:
- FEV1 <80% of subject's predicted normal value at Screening visit 1
- One hospitalization for asthma within 12 months prior to Screening visit 1
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
