简要总结
A prospective assessment of the impact of Omalizumab in terms of efficacy, safety, and quality of life (FA-QoL) in patients with moderate/severe asthma and history of anaphylaxis to peanut, tree nuts, fish, egg, milk, and/or wheat. Evaluation of the trend of total and specific IgE during Omalizumab treatment.
详细描述
Children (6-18 yrs) with severe asthma eligible for treatment with Omalizumab and reporting food anaphylaxis to be assessed for their concomitant food allergy.
At T0:
- oral food challenges (OFCs) to establish the threshold of reaction to the culprit food(s);
- number and severity of food-allergic reactions in the previous 12 months recorded
- Asthma Control Test
- Food Allergy-Quality of Life (FA-QoL) questionnaire
- total IgE
- specific IgE for the culprit foods
At T1 - four months after starting Omalizumab treatment:
- OFCs to the previously positive foods with evaluation of the threshold of reaction
- number and severity of food-allergic reactions in the previous 4 months recorded
- Asthma Control Test
- Food Allergy-Quality of Life (FA-QoL) questionnaire
- total IgE
- specific IgE for the culprit foods
