Actual (reported)The LMNOP trial will be a 2-armed, open-label, randomised controlled trial (RCT), 2:1. Over a period of 18 months, children in the Multi-Nut Oral Immunotherapy Treatment (OIT) Group (experimental arm) will undergo low dose OIT to two nuts they are allergic to. At this time, children in the Standard Care Group (control arm) will be instructed to strictly avoid consuming two nuts they are allergic to. Avoiding consuming nut allergens is the standard care advice for children with peanut/tree nut allergies in Australia. The trial will assess the difference in the proportion of participants undergoing Multi-Nut OIT who can achieve sustained unresponsiveness (SU) compared to the proportion of participants avoiding nuts who develop natural tolerance (NT), i.e. grow out of their allergy. SU is when a participant can pass an oral food challenge (OFC) after having paused OIT treatment for several weeks. Participants will be between the ages of 18 and 36 months at the time of screening. The first 12 participants enrolled will be part of the pilot phase, with a total of n = 45 for the main trial. It is hypothesised that there will be a higher proportion of participants in the Multi-Nut OIT Group versus the Standard Care Group who pass the OFC following the 18-month treatment phase. That is, a higher proportion of participants in the Multi-Nut OIT Group will achieve SU compared to participants in the Standard Care Group achieving NT.

Actual (reported)Main Trial: Comparison of the number of participants who pass their OFC after the 18-month treatment phase for both study nuts between the Multi-Nut OIT Group and Standard Care Group
In both groups, passing requires participants tolerating all OFC doses for both of their study nuts. For the Multi-Nut OIT Group, participants must pass their OFC at the end of the 18-month treatment phase, and then pass another OFC after 4 weeks of no OIT. For the Standard Care Group, participants must pass their OFC after the 18-month period. Participants have a personalised combination of two nuts: a. peanut, b. almond, c. cashew, d. hazelnut, e. walnut, as nominated at study screening.
At 18 months post commencement of treatment
Main Trial: Difference between the Multi-nut OIT Group in comparison to the Standard Care Group in the proportion and severity of reported adverse events (AE) related to study nut ingestion during the 18-month treatment phase
During the 18-month treatment phase
Main Trial: Difference between the Multi-Nut OIT Group in comparison to the Standard Care Group in mean change from screening to 18 months in quality of life scores for the children, measured by the Food Allergy Quality of Life-Parent Form (FAQL-PF)
Screening and at 18 months
Main Trial: Difference between the Multi-Nut OIT Group in comparison to the Standard Care Group in mean change from screening to 18 months in quality of life scores for the parents using the ICEpop CAPability measure for Adults (ICECAP-A)
Screening and at 18 months
Main Trial: Difference between the Multi-Nut OIT Group in comparison to the Standard Care Group in mean change from screening to 18 months in State/Trait anxiety using the State/Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
Screening and at 18 months
Main Trial: Difference between the Multi-Nut OIT Group in comparison to the Standard Care Group in the number of allergy-related healthcare visits from randomisation to 18 months
Participants will have a personalised combination of two nuts they are allergic to for their multi-nut OIT (a. peanut, b. almond, c. cashew, d. hazelnut, e. walnut). In the escalation visit, participants will receive 5 increasing doses of personalised multi-nut OIT in clinic at 20-minute intervals: 1 mg, 3 mg, 6 mg, 12 mg, 24 mg total nut protein, 12 mg/nut. The build-up phase will consist of daily home doses of multi-nut OIT and clinic visits every 2 weeks for up-dosing, up to a maintenance dose of 600 mg total protein, 300 mg/nut, over 3-8 months. In the maintenance phase, participants will continue to take their multi-nut OIT dose of 600 mg total protein each day at home for the remainder of the 18 months, with visits to the clinic every 3 months.
Strict avoidance of the 2 study nuts the participants are allergic to over 18 months - a. peanut, b. almond, c. cashew, d. hazelnut, e. walnut, as per standard care instructions for children with allergies in Australia.
Finely ground pure peanut, almond, cashew, hazelnut, and walnut.

The de-identified data set that will be collected for this analysis of the LMNOP trial will be available six months after publication of the primary outcome. The study protocol may be obtained from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Prior to releasing any data, the following are required: a data access agreement must be signed between relevant parties; the LMNOP trial investigators must see and approve the analysis plan describing how the data will be analysed; there must be an agreement around appropriate acknowledgment; and any additional costs involved must be covered. Should the study investigators be unavailable, this role is delegated to the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Data will only be shared with a recognised research institute, which has approved the proposed analysis plan.
