Brief summary
To determine the efficacy and safety of AR201 in a characterized oral desensitization immunotherapy (CODIT™) regimen in hen egg-allergic subjects aged 4 to 26 years, inclusive.
Detailed description
This is a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of AR201 in a CODIT regimen in hen egg-allergic subjects aged 4 to 26 years, inclusive. The study was conducted at 8 sites in the United States.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria: * Age 4 to 26 years, inclusive * Written informed consent from subjects, as appropriate per local requirements, and parent/guardian * Written assent from subjects who are minors, as appropriate per local requirements * History of physician-diagnosed hen egg allergy * Elevated egg specific IgE and/or mean wheal diameter on SPT to egg * Experience dose-limiting symptoms at or before the 300 mg challenge dose of dried egg white protein on Screening DBPCFC * Use of effective birth control by sexually active female subjects of childbearing potential Key
Exclusion criteria
* History of severe or life-threatening anaphylaxis within 60 days before screening * History of non-IgE mediated hen egg allergy such as food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) * History of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), other eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease, chronic, recurrent, or severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), symptoms of dysphagia or recurrent gastrointestinal symptoms of unknown etiology * History of a mast cell disorder including systemic mastocytosis, urticaria pigmentosa, chronic idiopathic or chronic physical urticaria beyond simple dermatographism (e.g., cold urticaria, cholinergic urticaria), and hereditary or idiopathic angioedema * History of chronic disease (except asthma, atopic dermatitis, or allergic rhinitis) which may require a change in immunosuppressive medication regimen or chronic corticosteroid use * History of cardiovascular disease, including uncontrolled or inadequately controlled hypertension * Developing dose-limiting symptoms to placebo challenge during the Screening DBPCFC * Having the same place of residence as another subject in the study * Any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, precludes participation for reasons of safety

Outcome results
Proportion of Subjects Tolerating a Single Highest Dose of at Least 1000 mg Dried Egg White Protein With no More Than Mild Symptoms at the Exit Double-blind Placebo Controlled Food Challenge (DBPCFC)
Time frame: 9-12 months
Population: The study was prematurely terminated due to difficulties in meeting enrollment goals due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. As a consequence, all prespecified efficacy endpoint analysis were not performed, and the exit DBPCFC was optional and limited to subjects who completed at least 9 months of study treatment including at least 4 weeks at 300 mg/day, and tolerated the 300 mg/day dose for approximately 2 consecutive weeks before the exit DBPCFC.
