Male participants must be willing to use effective methods of contraception during the entire study period and for 15 weeks after the last administration of investigational product.

Exclusion Criteria:

Have concomitant dermatological or medical condition(s) which may interfere with the Investigator's ability to evaluate the participant's response to the investigational product.
Have experienced severe life-threatening anaphylactic reactions to peanuts within 6 months before screening (i.e., requiring an intensive care unit [ICU] admission).
Positive clinical reaction observed during the placebo oral food challenge.
Participation in any interventional study for the treatment of peanut and/or food allergies in the 12 months before screening.
Have received any investigational product or been part of any interventional clinical study within a period of 3 months or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before screening.
Have received systemic corticosteroids, nonsteroidal, immunosuppressant, or immunomodulating drugs treatments within 2 weeks before screening.
Use of beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin-receptor blockers, or calcium channel blockers within 2 weeks before screening.
History of ischemic cardiovascular diseases.
Use of biologics within 6 months before screening or participant is in build-up phase of allergen immunotherapy (excluding peanut) and has not reached maintenance dose.
Have received antibiotic treatment within 1 week before screening.
Have a history of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions following infusions of human blood or blood components.
Have a history of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions a component of etokimab formulation or the inactive ingredients (excipients).
If female, are pregnant or lactating, or intend to become pregnant during the study period.
Current diagnosis of asthma requiring Global Initiative for Asthma Assessment (GINA) Step 4 or higher treatment or asthma partially controlled or uncontrolled according to GINA classifications in the last three months before screening.
History of a life threatening asthma attack within 1 year before screening (example: requiring an intensive care unit admission, intubation with mechanical ventilation).
Other significant medical conditions that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, prevent participation in the study.
History of drug, alcohol or other substance abuse, or other factors limiting the ability to cooperate and to comply with the study protocol.
Have any other physical, mental, or medical conditions which, in the opinion of the Investigator, make study participation inadvisable or could confound study assessments.
Receipt of a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before screening.
Planned surgery during the study or 30 days before screening.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. AEs include any clinical laboratory test results determined to be clinically significant by the investigator. AE was considered "serious" if there was any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect, other important medical events. Each AE was evaluated for severity (mild, moderate, or severe) and causal relationship to the study drug. AE was considered TEAE if the date of onset was during or after first dose of study treatment, or if the AE present at baseline worsened in either intensity or frequency after first dose of study treatment.

Change From Baseline in Cumulative Tolerated Peanut Dose During Oral Food Challenge

Oral food challenges were performed at Baseline and Day 14 in accordance with the Practical Allergy (PRACTALL) consensus report. Escalating doses of peanut protein (peanut flour mixed with a non-allergic food vehicle such as apple sauce) consisting of 5, 20, 50, 100, 100, 100, and 125 mg (for a cumulative maximum dose of 500 mg) were given at 20 minute intervals. If the participant developed any signs of an objective allergic reaction, the challenge was stopped. The total cumulative tolerated dose of blinded peanut reached prior to reaction was recorded.

Change From Baseline in Oral Food Challenge Symptom Score at Day 14

Oral food challenges were performed at Baseline and Day 14 in accordance with the PRACTALL consensus report. During OFC the OFC Symptom Scoring Assessment Tool was used to assess participants for common symptoms that can be suspected to be an allergic reaction involving the skin, upper respiratory, lower respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular systems. Each symptom was scored according to the following scale: Grade 0 = sign or symptom not observed; Grade 1 = mild; Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe. The score from each symptom was averaged to calculate the overall score at Baseline and on Day 14.

Volume of Distribution (Vz)

Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired plasma concentration of a drug. Volume of distribution was estimated by dividing the systemic clearance by apparent terminal rate constant (λz).

Apparent Terminal Rate Constant (λz)

The terminal elimination rate constant (λz) is defined as the first-order rate constant describing the rate of decrease of drug concentration in the terminal phase. Apparent terminal rate constant was determined by linear regression of the terminal points of the log-linear concentration-time curve.
