RPT904 as a single treatment for IgE-mediated peanut, milk, egg, cashew, or walnut allergy
Phase 2b Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of RPT904 as Monotherapy in Participants With IgE-Mediated Food Allergy
This trial will test whether RPT904, a long-acting anti-IgE antibody given every 8 to 12 weeks, can reduce allergic reactions in people aged 12–55 with confirmed IgE-mediated food allergy to peanut, milk, egg, cashew, or walnut.

What this trial studies
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b trial enrolling about 100 participants aged 12 to less than 56 with confirmed IgE-mediated allergy to peanut, milk, egg, cashew, or walnut. In Part 1 (24 weeks) participants are randomized to RPT904 every 8 or 12 weeks (with a loading dose at Week 2) or placebo; in Part 2 (24 weeks) those on placebo are re-randomized to RPT904 and those on RPT904 continue their schedule. RPT904 is a next-generation, long-acting anti-IgE monoclonal antibody designed to be dosed every 8–12 weeks. Participants will attend clinic visits roughly every 2–6 weeks for dosing, monitoring, and safety assessments.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people aged 12 to 55 with documented IgE-mediated allergy to peanut, milk, egg, cashew, or walnut confirmed by skin testing, specific IgE levels, and a positive oral food challenge per the protocol.
Not a fit: People with non–IgE-mediated food intolerances or allergies, those outside the 12–55 age range, individuals who do not meet the specific diagnostic criteria, or those unable to attend frequent in-person visits are unlikely to benefit from participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, RPT904 could raise the amount of allergen needed to cause a reaction and reduce how often patients need treatment by allowing dosing every 8–12 weeks.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies of anti-IgE therapy such as omalizumab have shown the approach can raise reaction thresholds and aid desensitization, but long-acting anti-IgE monotherapy in this exact dosing schedule is relatively new.

Must not donate semen or participate in sperm banking during this time, and if they have a female partner of childbearing potential, she should also use effective contraception. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinically significant lab abnormalities at screening. * Sensitivity or suspected/known allergy to any component of the active or placebo OFC material (excluding the test allergens peanut, milk, egg, walnut, and cashew being tested), or drugs related to RPT904 (eg, monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal gamma globulin). * Uncontrolled or severe asthma/wheezing at screening. * Current use of oral, IM, or IV corticosteroids, tricyclic antidepressants, or β-blockers (oral or topical). * Past or current immunotherapy to any study foods within 6 months of screening. * Treatment with immunomodulatory therapy within 6 months of screening. * Currently in the "build-up phase" of inhalant allergen immunotherapy (i.e., not yet on maintenance).
