Peanut allergy treatment succeeds in study The first treatment to help prevent serious allergic reactions to peanuts may be on the way. A California company said Tuesday that its daily capsules of peanut flour helped children tolerate the nuts in a major study. Millions of children have peanut allergies, and some have life-threatening reactions if accidentally exposed to the nuts. Doctors have been testing daily doses of peanut flour, contained in a capsule and sprinkled over food, as a way to prevent that. Aimmune Therapeutics, based in Brisbane, Calif., said 67% of children who had its treatment were able to tolerate the equivalent of roughly two peanuts at the end of the study, compared with only 4% of those given a placebo powder. The study involved nearly 500 children ages 4 to 17 with severe peanut allergies. They were given either capsules of peanut flour or a placebo powder in gradually increasing amounts for six months, then continued on that final level for another six month
