Basel, 2 March 2025 - Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today new positive data from Stage 2 and Stage 3 of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-sponsored phase III OUtMATCH study, which provide further evidence supporting the role of Xolair® (omalizumab) for the treatment of one or more food allergies. Stage 2 of the OUtMATCH study showed Xolair was more effective with fewer side effects than multi-allergen oral immunotherapy (OIT) in the first-ever head-to-head trial comparing the two treatment approaches. OIT involves ingesting the food allergen, initially with a very small amount and gradually increasing the amount.  These findings were largely driven by the high rates of adverse events (AEs) leading to study discontinuation in the OIT-treated group.
