Novartis scraps Phase III ligelizumab trial in peanut allergy

18 Jan 2024
Phase 3
The prospects for Novartis' experimental peanut allergy treatment ligelizumab appear to be crumbling after the company terminated a Phase III trial of the drug, according to an update posted on ClinicalTrials.gov this week. Details about why the study was halted were not specified in the update for the study, which began in 2021 and completed last November.
The next-generation monoclonal anti-IgE antibody remains on the company's pipeline, with food allergy listed as its main indication. The 52-week trial enrolled 211 patients with peanut allergy who were randomised to receive one of two doses of ligelizumab or placebo, delivered by subcutaneous injection once every 4 weeks.
