"We continue to be very pleased with progress in PALISADE, our core Phase 3 trial of AR101 for peanut allergy, and we look forward to expanding our Phase 3 program with initiation of the RAMSES trial in the second quarter and the ARTEMIS trial around mid-year," said Aimmune chief executive officer Stephen Dilly, M.B.B.S., Ph.D. "At AAAAI earlier this year, we reported interesting new data from the PALISADE screening population, which support our thesis for RAMSES whereby omitting the oral food challenge may further improve tolerability of AR101 during up-dosing. The level of interest and enthusiasm in our clinical trials remains very high, and we are pleased that most of the study sites in PALISADE will also participate in RAMSES."
