Review, Journal, HEOR, Cost-effectiveness, Cost effectiveness: Cost and Cost-Effectiveness of the Management Strategies of Chronic Urticaria: A Systematic Review. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 20, 2024 With the wide variation in health care resources, services that included biologic omalizumab utilization had higher annual health care cost estimations for CU management than services that did not include omalizumab prescription (median [IQR] cost, $6933 [$5988-$8717] vs $5621 [$2488-$8754])...Meanwhile, routine laboratory testing among patients with CSU without compelling indication was not cost-effective. Future studies in more diverse CU populations and resource settings are needed to fill evidence gaps.

Review, Journal: An updated review of the use of omalizumab for the treatment of uncontrolled pediatric allergic asthma. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 18, 2024 A number of studies including real-world effectiveness studies, post-hoc analyses of clinical trial data, and systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses have since expanded the published data on the efficacy and safety of omalizumab in pediatric patients. In this article, we present an updated review of this literature focused on use of omalizumab therapy in children with allergic asthma.

Review, Journal: The use of biologics in food allergy management. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 15, 2024 There is no evidence to date that omalizumab has an immunomodulatory effect, and young children treated with omalizumab monotherapy may bear a lost opportunity cost from possible immunomodulation would they have been treated with OIT or SLIT instead; however, within a shared decision-making paradigm, beyond label use of omalizumab may include treatment with OIT or SLIT. Fortunately, the co-evolution of shared decision-making with modern food allergy treatments will facilitate the critical preference-sensitive care that must be characteristic of all decisions surrounding active food allergy management.

Journal: Aquagenic urticaria: presentation, diagnosis and management. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 14, 2024 Although antihistamines are the cornerstone of treatment, the differential response among individuals necessitates an individualised approach, considering adjunctive treatments such as omalizumab and ultraviolet therapy. This case reinforces the critical role of clinical acumen in the recognition and diagnosis of aquagenic urticaria and calls for further research into its pathophysiology to refine treatment strategies.

We will propose a management approach for choosing biologic therapy or endoscopic sinus surgery with aspirin therapy after desensitization for patients with NSAID-ERD.

So far, dupilumab demonstrated greater efficacy in patients with NSAID-ERD than in aspirin-tolerant patients with regard to several clinical outcomes...Additionally, there are conflicting studies as to whether patients on a T2 biologic become desensitized to NSAIDs, as omalizumab proved to restore tolerance to aspirin in only two thirds of patients. This goal of NSAIDs tolerance should be considered as part of disease control future approaches, representing one of many aspects in a patient-centered care approach.

Journal: Omalizumab Implementation in Practice: Lessons Learned from the OUtMATCH Study. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 13, 2024 Clinicians are likely to have many questions about appropriate patient selection, monitoring for treatment responsiveness, and how to manage off-label considerations such as dietary incorporation or co-treatment with oral immunotherapy. Additional research is needed to answer these remaining questions and ensure that the translation of omalizumab in real-world practice leads to high-quality outcomes.

(Pubmed Central) - Nov 7, 2024 Following publication of the recent OUtMATCH study (stage 1) results and subsequent FDA approval, we propose that there is now sufficient evidence to recommend omalizumab as the only drug currently available that can mechanistically reduce IgE-mediated food allergic reactions. We acknowledge that the evidence does not reach the highest level of evidence which would be needed for a guideline recommendation.
