A Phase 1b, Open-Label, Exploratory Study Evaluating the Effects of Inhaled Epinephrine in Individuals Experiencing Systemic Allergic Reactions During Allergy Testing, Immunotherapy or Oral Challenges

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Phase 1
SUMMARY

The goal of this exploratory study is to evaluate the effects of inhaled epinephrine in subjects, who may not be eligible for the GHL-101 trial, and who are experiencing systemic allergic reaction (SAR) that occur following allergy testing, subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), oral challenges (with food and/or drug) or oral immunotherapy (OIT).

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: All
Minimum Age: 12
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• Males or females, aged ≥ 12 years with known or suspected allergen sensitivity who can also have a clinical history of immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated allergy, including a documented sensitivity to allergens (i.e., positive skin prick test, or positive in vitro serum IgE).

• Have undergone either a) allergy testing for suspected sensitivity/allergy, b) future oral challenge (food and/or drug) or future OIT to treat existing allergies or c) SCIT AND experienced a SAR Grade 2 or higher, following allergy testing, SCIT, or oral challenges (food and/or drug) for future OIT, and deemed eligible for enrollment by the Principal Investigator.

• For females of child-bearing potential, not pregnant or lactating, willing to use an acceptable contraception\* method between Screening and End-of-Study Visits.

Time Frame
Start Date: 2025-08-25
Estimated Completion Date: 2026-07
Participants
Target number of participants: 100
Treatments
Experimental: Inhaled Epinephrine
The first inhalation will be administered as soon as possible (i.e., within approximately 30 seconds) following identification of a SAR Grade 2 or higher and confirmation of enrollment by the Principal Investigator. The second inhalation will be administered approximately 10 seconds later, and the subject will be observed for approximately 2 minutes for signs of symptom resolution.~Inhalations will continue in this manner until either:~1. resolution of systemic symptoms (defined as a reduction in SAR Grade to ≤1), or~2. if maximum number of inhalations (8 inhalations) has not been reached, complete resolution of systemic symptoms (defined as reduction in SAR Grade to 0) without exceeding maximum 8 inhalations, or~3. administration of intra-muscular epinephrine, whichever occurs earlier.
