Area of Science:

  • Allergy and Immunology
  • Immunotherapy

Background:

  • Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is increasingly used in Europe and gaining interest in the US.
  • Allergists require comprehensive data for informed clinical decisions regarding SLIT.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the available literature on SLIT effectiveness and safety.
  • To identify unanswered questions and considerations for SLIT implementation in the US.

Main Methods:

  • A literature review was conducted by a Joint Task Force.
  • The review focused on evidence regarding SLIT efficacy, safety, dosing, and administration.

Main Results:

  • SLIT is demonstrably effective for treating allergic conditions.
  • Key questions persist regarding optimal dosage, treatment schedules, and duration.

  • Serious side effects appear rare, but data in high-risk asthmatics is limited.

    • Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed to establish cost-benefit ratios and optimal treatment protocols.
    • Regulatory and billing challenges, including lack of approved US allergy extracts and CPT codes, hinder widespread adoption.
    • Clinicians should carefully consider these factors before initiating SLIT.
