LCA-0061 dose-ranging safety study for people with allergies
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, First-in-Human Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Immunogenicity of Single Doses of LCA-0061 in Atopic Healthy Participants and Multiple Doses of LCA-0061 in Participants With Peanut Allergy
Run by Lycia Therapeutics, Inc. · NCT07701954 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This Phase 1 study tests whether different single and multiple doses of LCA-0061 are safe and tolerable in people with atopy or peanut allergy, compared with placebo.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with BMI 18.0–30.0 kg/m2, weight ≥50 kg, elevated serum IgE, and documented atopy (Part A) or peanut allergy with positive peanut tests (Part B).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without elevated IgE, or without peanut allergy or atopy, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This is a combined single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) Phase 1 trial. It uses a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of subcutaneous LCA-0061 in participants with atopic conditions (SAD) and peanut allergy (MAD). Part A focuses on atopy history and elevated IgE, while Part B focuses on peanut allergy with peanut-specific IgE and skin test positivity. Participants will receive LCA-0061 or placebo and will be monitored for adverse events and immune responses. The study aims to identify safe dosage ranges and initial biological activity in these populations.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the trial could establish a safe dosing range and early signals of effect that may lead to practical treatment options for atopic disease and peanut allergy.
How similar studies have gone: Previous similar early-phase trials in allergic diseases have shown that SAD/MAD designs can safely profile tolerability and pharmacokinetics of new biologics.
