      Recommends Approval For New Peanut Allergy Treatment: FDA Committee

      A closely watched but controversial treatment for peanut allergies took a big step closer to becoming widely available.

      On Friday, an advisory committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration voted 7-2 to approve Palforzia, a standardized peanut powder product, to help reduce allergic reactions to peanuts for patients ages 4 to 17 as part of oral immunotherapy protocol. The treatment was developed by pharmaceutical company Aimmune Therapeutics.

      “I voted ‘yes’ because I thought the data was quite clear, and I would actually compliment the sponsor on the extent and caliber of the studies,” said Dr. Ira Finegold, a professor of medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.

      The committee’s vote could be a landmark in addressing peanut allergies, which currently have no FDA-approved treatment, leaving allergic people little choice but to avoid peanuts. The FDA usually follows the recommendations of its advisory committees. A final decision is expected early next year.

      The recommendation came despite concerns raised in some testimony that the treatment could actually lead to more allergic reactions, in some cases.

      “I also want my patients to have a lower risk of having reactions, but I think from the data that we have had presented to us that neither the safety nor efficacy have been demonstrated,” said Dr. John Kelso, an allergy specialist at Scripps Clinic in San Diego.

      Peanut allergies have been increasing in recent years. It’s now estimated that 2.2% children in the U.S. are allergic to peanuts. Oral immunotherapy doesn’t cure these allergies but for some patients can make them more manageable. It is a regime of slowly increasing daily exposure to tiny amounts of peanut powder. Over the course of several months, it has been shown to reduce the incidence and severity of allergic reactions to small amounts of peanuts in many patients.

      Palforzia provides a standardized, medical-grade version of the treatment, which some doctors already offer using peanut flour.

      The committee also voted 8-1 to approve a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, which includes steps the drugmakers would need to take to ensure patient safety. These include the requirement that parents would have to have an injectable EpiPen or similar device immediately available to reverse any reaction that might occur.

      As part of a daylong meeting in Silver Spring, Md., scientists from Aimmune Therapeutics presented research findings on Palforzia, which was developed under the name AR101.

      In a phase 3 trial, Palforzia’s safety and efficacy were tested at numerous clinics as part of double-blind, placebo-controlled trials involving 551 participants from 4 to 55 years of age.

      While studies showed that oral immunotherapy using Palforzia can reduce reactions, Aimmune researchers also said that the treatment carries side effects including nausea, itchiness in the throat and vomiting.

      The research also showed more serious risks, including a tripling of the risk (9.4% compared with 3.8% for placebo) of anaphylactic reaction during the time a patient is building tolerance to reach maintenance dose.

      However, some critics say that Aimmune’s data distort Palforzia’s safety and efficacy.

      During the hearing, some members of the Allergenic Products Advisory Committee expressed concern that the data omitted the outcomes of many patients who had dropped out of the trial because of adverse effects.
