2. Physician-diagnosis of peanut allergy or children with a well documented medical history of IgE-mediated symptoms after ingestion of peanut and currently following a strict peanut-free diet, but without a physician diagnosis;
3. Peanut-specific IgE level (ImmunoCAP system) >0.7 kU/L;
4. Positive peanut skin prick test (SPT) with a largest wheal diameter:

* =6 mm for children 4 through 5 years of age at Visit 1,
* =8 mm for children 6 years and above at Visit 1;
5. Positive DBPCFC at =300 mg peanut protein.

Key exclusion criteria
1. History of severe anaphylaxis to peanut with any of the following symptoms: hypotension, hypoxia, neurological compromise (collapse, loss of consciousness or incontinence);
2. Generalized dermatologic disease
3. Diagnosis of mast cell disorders, including mastocytosis or uricaria pigmentosa as well as hereditary or idiopathic angioedema;
4. Diagnosis of asthma that fulfills any of the following criteria:

* Uncontrolled persistent asthma as defined by National Asthma Education and Prevention Program Asthma guidelines 2007 or by Global Initiative for Asthma guidelines 2015,
* Asthma treated with either a high daily high dose of inhaled corticosteroid or with a combination therapy of a medium or high daily dose of inhaled corticosteroid with a long acting inhaled ß2 agonist or with a combination therapy of a high daily dose of inhaled corticosteroid with a long acting inhaled ß2 agonist. Asthmatic subjects treated with a medium daily dose of inhaled corticosteroids are eligible. Intermittent asthmatic subjects who require intermittent use of inhaled corticosteroids for rescue are also eligible,
* Two or more systemic corticosteroid courses for asthma in the past year or 1 oral corticosteroid course for asthma within 3 months prior to Visit 1, or during screening period,
* Prior intubation/mechanical ventilation for asthma within 1 year prior to Visit 1, or during screening;
5. Receiving ß-blocking agents, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers or tricyclic antidepressant therapy;
6. Received anti-tumor necrosis factor drugs or anti-IgE drugs (such as omalizumab) or any biologic immunomodulatory therapy within 1 year prior to Visit 1, during screening period or during study participation;
7. Use of systemic long-acting corticosteroids within 12 weeks prior to Visit 1 and/or use of systemic short-acting corticosteroids within 4 weeks prior to Visit 1 or during screening;
8. Prior or concomitant history of any immunotherapy to any food;
9. Receiving or planning to receive any aeroallergen immunotherapy during their participation in the study. Aeroallergen immunotherapy must be discontinued at the time of Visit 1;
10. Any disorder in which epinephrine is contraindicated such as coronary artery disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or serious ventricular arrhythmias.
