Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is significantly less concerned by systemic reactions than subcutaneous immunotherapy. Allergoids were introduced to reduce systemic reaction to subcutaneous immunotherapy, but may also be used for SLIT. This pharmacovigilance study evaluated the post-marketing reports collected in a safety database, including the number and the type (serious or not serious) of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in Italy by SLIT with the carbamylated monomeric allergoid (CMA). More than 15,000,000 CMA tablets were administered, with 25 spontaneous reports of ADRs, only two being serious. The rate of ADRs to CMA we found in this pharmacovigilance survey, corresponding to 0.0004% of all administered doses, is far lower than the rates commonly reported for allergen SLIT products.

Subcutaneous immunotherapy is an effective treatment of respiratory allergy and allergoids offer a treatment option characterized by reduced IgE-binding properties to improve the safety profile. Purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy and the safety of an injective monomeric allergoid in patients with moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis due to house dust mites. in a perspective, controlled, observational study a suspension of 0.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy uses a sublingual (sublingual immunotherapy [SLIT]) or subcutaneous (subcutaneous immunotherapy [SCIT]) route. This pharmacovigilance study aimed to determine the number and type of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) for SLIT and SCIT using carbamylated monomeric allergoids (CMAs) in children. This pharmacovigilance study analyzed real-world post-marketing reports collected from a safety database of Lais sublingual tablets and injective Lais-in, containing CMAs for over 10 years.

Background: real-life studies are encouraged to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of allergen immunotherapy (AIT). In this context, a retrospective cohort study was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of carbamylated monomeric allergoid subcutaneous immunotherapy (MA-SCIT), along with patient satisfaction. Methods: a total of 291 patients with rhinoconjunctivitis with or without asthma with inhalant (house dust mite, grass, and pellitory) allergies were enrolled in this study.

Allergen immunotherapy aims to induce tolerance, which persists after its discontinuation, to targeted allergens. However, concern exists regarding the use of subcutaneous immunotherapy with whole extracts due to frequently reported events of anaphylactic reactions. In this pharmacovigilance study, the authors assessed the safety of subcutaneous immunotherapy with the monomeric allergoid Lais-in using a database of adverse reactions documented in real-world postmarketing reports from 2010 to 2020.

Background: Anti-modified protein antibodies (AMPA) targeting citrullinated, acetylated and/or carbamylated self-antigens are hallmarks of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although AMPA-IgG cross-reactivity to multiple post-translational modifications (PTMs) is evident, it is unknown whether the first responding B cells, expressing IgM, display similar characteristics or if cross-reactivity is crucially dependent on somatic hypermutation (SHM). We now studied the reactivity of (germline) AMPA-IgM to further understand the breach of B cell tolerance and to identify if cross-reactivity depends on extensive SHM.
