SQ house dust mite sublingual immunotherapy tablet subgroup efficacy and local application site reaction duration.

Background: Allergic rhinitis with or without conjunctivitis (AR/C) is common, necessitating evaluation of SQ house dust mite (HDM) sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)-tablet efficacy in various subgroups.

Objective: To evaluate 12 SQ-HDM efficacy and safety across subgroups, and the onset, duration, and recurrence of local application site reactions.

Methods: Subgroup (age, sex, race, asthma status, and allergen sensitization) efficacy was assessed using pooled data from 2 previously described trials of daily 12 SQ-HDM vs placebo for AR/C (n = 2,138).

A practical guide to the sublingual immunotherapy tablet adverse event profile: implications for clinical practice.

Objectives: Treatment with allergy immunotherapy improves allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, but can also improve comorbidities associated with allergic rhinitis such as asthma. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)-tablets are a convenient and efficacious method of allergy immunotherapy. They are self-administered after the first tablet has been provided under medical supervision.
