Eligibility 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
