Summary
Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is a key treatment for allergies. This expert review identifies 7 unmet needs and future directions for AIT, including new application routes and diagnostic tools.
Area of Science:
- Immunology
- Allergology
- Clinical Medicine
Background:
- Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is the only disease-modifying treatment for allergies.
- Significant unmet needs exist in optimizing AIT efficacy and application.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address 7 critical unmet needs in Allergen Immunotherapy (AIT).
- To provide expert perspectives on the future direction and innovation in AIT.
Main Methods:
- An international expert group formulated 7 key aspects for AIT's future.
- A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
- A consented position on discussed topics was established.
Main Results:
- Identified 7 key areas for AIT advancement: alternative routes, recombinant vaccines, component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) for AIT composition, COVID-19 vaccination impact, combining biologics with AIT, innovations for high-risk populations, and regulatory considerations.
- Authors elaborated on their expert views and positions for each aspect.
Conclusions:
- Addressing these 7 unmet needs is crucial for advancing Allergen Immunotherapy.

01:25Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
332
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition for which new therapeutic avenues, including anti-inflammatory drugs like mast cell stabilizers and anti-IgE treatments, continue to be developed.
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...

01:20Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
439
Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
