- Percentage of Subjects Ages 4-17 Who Tolerated a Single Highest Dose of at Least 600 mg in the Exit Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The percentage of subjects in the ITT population who achieve desensitization as determined by tolerating specified challenge doses of peanut protein with no more than mild symptoms at the Exit Oral Food Challenge.
- Percentage of Subjects Ages 4-17 Who Tolerated a Single Highest Dose of at Least 1000 mg in the Exit Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The percentage of subjects in the ITT population who achieve desensitization as determined by tolerating specified challenge doses of peanut protein with no more than mild symptoms at the Exit Oral Food Challenge.
- Percentage of Subjects Ages 4-17 Who Tolerated a Single Highest Dose of at Least 300 mg in the Exit Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The percentage of subjects in the ITT population who achieve desensitization as determined by tolerating specified challenge doses of peanut protein with no more than mild symptoms at the Exit Oral Food Challenge.
- Percentage of Subjects Ages 4-17 by Maximum Severity of Symptoms Occurring at Any Challenge Dose of Peanut Protein During the Exit Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]The maximum severity of symptoms on 4 levels: 0-None, 1-Mild, 2-Moderate, 3-Severe or higher (Severe, life threatening, fatal) observed in the DBPCFC at any dose (1000 mg or lower).
