Abstract

  • ▴ Omalizumab is a recombinant humanised monoclonal antibody which specifically binds to the Cε3 domain of immunoglobulin (Ig) E, the site of high-affinity IgE receptor binding.
  • ▴ Improvements in asthma symptoms and health-related quality-of-life, and a significant reduction in the frequency of asthma exacerbations were seen in allergic asthmatic patients treated with omalizumab.
  • ▴ Omalizumab was also effective in the treatment of children with allergic asthma demonstrating improvements in health-related quality-of-life and significant dosage reductions of inhaled corticosteroids.
  • ▴ Administration of omalizumab to patients with allergic rhinitis resulted in a rapid dose-dependent suppression of serum free IgE levels.
  • ▴ Omalizumab significantly improved health-related quality-of-life and nasal symptoms in patients with seasonal allergicrhinitis.Antihistaminerequirements were also significantly reduced following treatment.
  • ▴ Adverse events were infrequent in clinical trials of omalizumab, and not significantly different from placebo. The most frequent drug-related event was mild to moderate urticaria.
