In Europe, Omalizumab (anti-IgE) is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe asthma, but not for IgE-mediated food allergy (FA).
We assessed the impact of Omalizumab on efficacy, safety, and quality of life (FA-QoL) in patients with moderate to severe asthma and who have a history of anaphylaxis to peanut, tree nuts, fish, egg, milk, and/or wheat.
Food-allergic children (6-18 years) with moderate to severe asthma underwent oral food challenges (OFCs) to establish the threshold of reaction to the culprit food(s) at baseline (T0) and at 4-month intervals (T1, T2, and T3) during their first year of treatment with Omalizumab. We recorded the number and severity of food-allergic reactions, Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores, FA-QoL, and total IgE levels.
In 65 patients allergic to 107 foods, the No Observed Adverse Events Level (NOAEL) at T1 increased: 243- and 488-fold for fresh and baked milk, respectively; 172- and 134-fold for raw and baked egg; 245-fold for hazelnut; 55-fold for peanut; 31-fold for wheat; and 10-fold for fish. Full tolerance was achieved in 66.4% of OFCs at T1, 58.3% at T2, and 75% at T3. Ninety-five foods were liberalized in the diet of 55 patients; the remaining 12 were introduced by 10 patients at least in traces. Throughout the study, 40 out of 65 were able to get a free diet. ACT increased from 17 (Q1-Q3: 15-17) to 23.6 (Q1-Q3: 23-25). The FA-QoL score in children ≤12 years decreased from 4.63 ± 0.74 to 2.02 ± 1.13, and in adolescents from 4.68 ± 0.92 to 1.90 ± 1.50.
During Omalizumab therapy, a safe reintroduction of allergenic foods is feasible.

在欧洲,奥马珠单抗(抗IgE)被用于治疗中度至重度哮喘,但未用于IgE介导的食物过敏(FA)。
我们评估了奥马珠单抗对中度至重度哮喘且有花生、坚果、鱼、蛋、牛奶和/或小麦过敏反应病史患者的疗效、安全性及生活质量(FA-QoL)的影响。
患有中度至重度哮喘的食物过敏儿童(6 - 18岁)在接受奥马珠单抗治疗的第一年,于基线期(T0)以及每隔4个月(T1、T2和T3)进行口服食物激发试验(OFC),以确定对致敏食物的反应阈值。我们记录了食物过敏反应的数量和严重程度、哮喘控制测试(ACT)分数、FA-QoL及总IgE水平。
在65名对107种食物过敏的患者中,T1期的未观察到不良事件水平(NOAEL)有所提高:新鲜牛奶和烘焙牛奶分别提高了243倍和488倍;生鸡蛋和烘焙鸡蛋分别提高了172倍和134倍;榛子提高了245倍;花生提高了55倍;小麦提高了31倍;鱼提高了10倍。T1期66.4%的OFC达到完全耐受,T2期为58.3%,T3期为75%。55名患者的饮食中95种食物放宽了限制;其余12种食物至少有10名患者微量摄入。在整个研究过程中,65名患者中有40名能够实现自由饮食。ACT评分从17(第一四分位数 - 第三四分位数:15 - 17)提高到23.6(第一四分位数 - 第三四分位数:23 - 25)。12岁及以下儿童的FA-QoL评分从4.63±0.74降至2.02±1.13,青少年从4.68±0.92降至1.90±1.50。
在奥马珠单抗治疗期间,安全地重新引入致敏食物是可行的。
