Participants who did not finish all study doses, or post-treatment gluten challenge were not included in analysis. IGRA responders were Nexvax2-specific IGRA positive 6 or 8 days after commencing gluten challenge, and “non-responders” were Nexvax2-specific IGRA negative 6 or 8 days after commencing OGC when all 9 gluten cookies had been consumed (Algorithm outlined in Figures S3).
