IMPACT Study Launches Today: Peanut Oral Immunotherapy in Young Children
The Immune Tolerance Network’s (ITN’s) IMPACT Study, “Oral Immunotherapy for Induction of Tolerance and Desensitization in Peanut-Allergic Children,” opened for enrollment today. This will be the first major study to examine whether oral immunotherapy can lead to durable, lasting tolerance to peanut among young peanut-allergic children. This study will be led by ITN investigator Wesley Burks, MD, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics at UNC Chapel Hill.
