Macy E, Trautmann A, Chiriac AM, Demoly P, Phillips EJ. Advances in the Understanding of Drug Hypersensitivity: 2012 Through 2022. THE JOURNAL OF ALLERGY AND CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY. IN PRACTICE 2023; 11:80-91. [PMID: 36384652 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaip.2022.10.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Over the last decade there have been key advances in understanding mechanisms, risk, and consequences of both true immunological drug hypersensitivity and unverified drug allergy labels that have changed clinical practice. This has been facilitated by the widespread adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). The vast majority of EHR drug allergy labels are unverified and cause significant morbidity from unnecessary avoidance of optimal drug therapy. There has also been significant movement in our understanding of mechanisms of drug hypersensitivity that, in addition to advancing our understanding of the pathogenesis of immediate and delayed reactions, have guided preventive efforts, diagnostic procedures, and clinical management. More widespread adoption, including scale-up of "allergy" delabeling and appropriate management, specifically for antibiotics, opiates, radiocontrast, chemotherapeutics, biologics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, will be necessary to improve patient outcomes over the next decade. This will require further engagement and collaboration between primary care health care providers, allergists, and other specialists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited data on the mechanisms of aspirin desensitization in patients with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-induced urticaria/angioedema (NIUA). OBJECTIVES We sought to characterize the transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of patients with NIUA undergoing aspirin desensitization. METHODS PBMCs and plasma were separated from the blood of patients with NIUA undergoing aspirin desensitization for coronary artery disease and NSAID-tolerant controls. RNA was isolated from PBMCs and subjected to messenger RNA (mRNA)- and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-sequencing. Plasma samples were analyzed using LC-MS/MS for metabolite shifts using a semitargeted metabolomics panel. RESULTS Eleven patients with NIUA and 10 healthy controls were recruited. The mRNA gene profiles of predesensitization versus postdesensitization and healthy control versus postdesensitization did not differ significantly. However, we identified 739 mRNAs and 888 lncRNAs as differentially expressed from preaspirin desensitization patients and controls. A 12-mRNA gene signature was trained using a machine learning algorithm to distinguish between controls, postdose, and predose samples. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified 5 canonical pathways that were significantly enriched in preaspirin desensitization samples. IL-22 was the most upregulated pathway. To investigate the potential regulatory roles of the differentially expressed lncRNA on the mRNAs, 9 lncRNAs and 12 mRNAs showed significantly correlated expression patterns in the IL-22 pathway. To validate the transcriptomics data, IL-22 was measured in the plasma samples of the subjects using ELISA. IL-22 was significantly higher in preaspirin desensitization patients compared with controls. In parallel, metabolomic analysis revealed stark differences in plasma profiles of preaspirin desensitization patients and healthy controls. In particular, 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (salicylic acid) was significantly lower in preaspirin desensitization patients compared with healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to combine both transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches in patients with NIUA, which contributes to a deeper understanding about the pathogenesis of NIUA and may potentially pave the way toward a molecular diagnosis of NSAID hypersensitivity.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) is one of the most frequently prescribed medications in the medical field, and hypersensitivity to NSAID is a common adverse drug reaction encountered. However, NSAID hypersensitivity presents a variety of symptoms caused by diverse pharmacological and immunological mechanisms. RECENT FINDINGS Owing to the heterogeneity of the disease, a new concept for the classification of NSAID hypersensitivity has recently been proposed to diagnose and manage NSAID hypersensitivity for personalized treatment. Acute and delayed reactions were distinguished in this classification, and identification of symptoms and speculation of putative mechanisms help physicians make the right diagnosis. NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease is a noticeable phenotype of NSAID hypersensitivity that involves upper airway comorbidities (chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps) as well as asthmatic features. The cutaneous phenotypes of NSAID hypersensitivity occur, and cross-reactivity with other types of NSAID should be considered in establishing a proper diagnosis. Hypersensitivity to a single NSAID can present urticaria/angioedema and anaphylaxis, in which an IgE-mediated immune response is suggested to be a prime mechanism. Management of NSAID hypersensitivity reactions includes avoidance, pharmacological treatment following standard guidelines, and aspirin desensitization. SUMMARY The classification, diagnosis, and management of NSAID hypersensitivity should be individually reached by identifying its phenotype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide recommendations for managing hypersensitivity adverse events (HAEs) to an injectable enzyme substitution therapy (pegvaliase, a PEGylated phenylalanine ammonia lyase enzyme) in adult patients with phenylketonuria (PKU). METHODS Eight European academic immunology experts with a broad range of experience in hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, and/or drug reactions, and two geneticists from the USA with pegvaliase experience convened for two advisory board meetings. Efficacy, safety, and immunological profile of pegvaliase were discussed with the objective of developing recommendations for the clinical management of HAEs associated with pegvaliase treatment. RESULTS Based on available immunogenicity data, it was concluded that pegvaliase induces a Type III hypersensitivity reaction, causing HAEs with peak event rates during induction/titration and a decline over time during maintenance therapy. The decline in HAEs with longer duration of therapy was considered to likely be driven by anti-drug antibody affinity maturation, reduced immune complex formation, and decreased complement activation over time. Immunology and PKU experts unanimously supported that the use of an induction, titration, and maintenance dosing regimen and implementation of several risk mitigation strategies contributed to the improvement of tolerability over time. Key risk mitigation strategies utilized in the Phase 3 clinical trials such as premedication with H1-receptor antagonists, allowance for a longer titration period after an HAE, patient education, and requirement to carry auto-injectable adrenaline (epinephrine) should be continued in clinical practice. A tool for administration of auto-injectable adrenaline in patients using pegvaliase was suggested. It was added that after the occurrence of a severe HAE a temporary dose reduction is more likely to improve tolerability than treatment interruption. CONCLUSIONS Overall, it was agreed that pegvaliase has a generally tolerable safety profile in adults with PKU. Importantly, the risk mitigation strategies utilized in the clinical trials were considered to support the continued use of key strategies for management in the commercial setting, such as a slow induction/titration dosing paradigm and premedication with H1-receptor antagonists. However, physicians and patients need to be aware of the risk of HAEs associated with pegvaliase; presence of a trained observer during early treatment may be beneficial in certain circumstances, and a requirement to carry auto-injectable adrenaline is recommended. Because pegvaliase offers the possibility to normalize diet, while maintaining blood phenylalanine within the recommended therapeutic range, safe use of this medication in the clinical setting is important. Ongoing monitoring of long-term clinical safety of patients on pegvaliase treatment in the commercial setting was recommended.

Abstract
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common providers of immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Among these reactions, isolated acute urticaria is the most common clinical feature with a non-allergic origin. It is a pharmacological side effect resulting from the alteration of arachidonic acid metabolism induced by NSAIDs. Diagnosis of this acute urticaria is clinical, requiring no allergy testing. Currently, the recommended therapeutic management of NSAID urticaria is the avoidance of all NSAID with COX-1 inhibitor activity (even if when reintroduced, they are most often well tolerated) and the use of selective COX-2 inhibitors. This review focuses on urticaria reactions to NSAIDs, which are simple to manage.

Abstract
Purpose Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare metabolic disorder that requires
life-long management to reduce phenylalanine (Phe) concentrations within the
recommended range. The availability of pegvaliase (PALYNZIQ™, an enzyme that can
metabolize Phe) as a new therapy necessitates the provision of guidance for its
use. Methods A Steering Committee comprising 17 health-care professionals with
experience in using pegvaliase through the clinical development program drafted
guidance statements during a series of face-to-face meetings. A modified Delphi
methodology was used to demonstrate consensus among a wider group of health-care
professionals with experience in using pegvaliase. Results Guidance statements were developed for four categories: (1)
treatment goals and considerations prior to initiating therapy, (2) dosing
considerations, (3) considerations for dietary management, and (4) best
approaches to optimize medical management. A total of 34 guidance statements
were included in the modified Delphi voting and consensus was reached on all
after two rounds of voting. Conclusion Here we describe evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for
the use of pegvaliase in adults with PKU. The manuscript was evaluated against
the Appraisal of Guidelines for Research and Evaluation (AGREE II) instrument
and is intended for use by health-care professionals who will prescribe
pegvaliase and those who will treat patients receiving pegvaliase.

The effect of levocetirizine and montelukast on clinical symptoms, serum level and skin expression of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes in patients suffering from chronic autoimmune urticaria - a pilot study. Postepy Dermatol Alergol 2018; 37:73-80.

Abstract
Introduction Chronic autoimmune urticaria (CAU) lasts over 6 weeks and is characterized by circulating IgE autoantibodies or IgG against IgE or IgE receptor. Aim To assess the clinical, laboratory and histological effects of 4-week levocetirizine and montelukast therapy in patients suffering from CAU. Material and methods Of 296 tested patients with chronic urticaria 40 had a positive ASST test. Only 17 (16 female/1 male; medium age: 44 years) fulfilled all study inclusion/exclusion criteria. The study was designed as an open, randomized trial with two arms: levocetirizine or montelukast treatment for 4 weeks following a 2-week wash-out period. All participants completed urticaria activity score (UAS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) questionnaires before and after both therapies. Blood samples and skin bioptats were obtained before and after treatment to evaluate COX-1 and COX-2 serum concentrations and skin expression. Results Clinical response to therapy measured with the UAS and VAS was better in the levocetirizine group. Both drugs caused a significant decrease in COX-1 and COX-2 serum level. COX-1 and COX-2 expression in epidermal and dermal inflammatory infiltration did not change significantly in either study group, but a significant decrease of COX-1 expression was observed when the groups were combined for analysis, and the decrease in COX-2 expression in the epidermis was of borderline significance. Conclusions The effectiveness of levocetirizine and montelukast in treating CAU may be partly related to the reduction of COX-1 and COX-2 serum level and tissue expression, but further studies on a larger group of patients are needed to support this observation.

Abstract
Background Adverse drug reactions (ADR) to analgesics (i.e., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug hypersensitivity, NSAID-HS) are one of the most common ADR, affecting approximately 1.6% of all patients. Despite the fact that they are common, they still pose a diagnostic challenge. Methods This article is an overview of selected scientific articles and is based on research in PubMed, specialist databases, and guidelines. Results Approximately 80% of side effects are pharmacologically predictable and are classified as type A reactions, such as abdominal pain and bleeding events. More advanced diagnostic investigations are not useful in such cases. Type B reactions, which account for the remaining 20%, are subdivided into the far more frequent cross-reactive, non-immunological NSAID-HS (acronyms NERD [NSAID exacerbated respiratory disease], NECD [NSAID exacerbated cutaneous disease], NIUA [NSAID-induced urticaria/angioedema]) and the much rarer true drug allergies of type I and IV (acronyms SNIUAA [single NSAID-induced urticara/angioedema or anaphylaxis] and SNIDR [single NSAID-induced delayed reaction]). The two latter are not cross-reactive and all other NSAIDs are generally well tolerated. Conclusion The diagnostic work-up begins with a detailed patient's history. Skin tests are only useful in SNIDR and SNIUAA, while in vitro tests are helpful merely in exceptional cases. In general, the diagnosis can only be confirmed by provocation testing, when required. Although cross-reactivity is usually present, provocation testing is often able to find an alternative, tolerable analgesic. Individual patient management usually enables a solution to be found for most patients.

Abstract
Aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are some of the most common culprits of drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions, and can lead to a wide array of adverse effects. The accurate and timely diagnosis of aspirin and NSAID-induced hypersensitivity reactions is important for both patient safety and for the initiation of appropriate disease-specific management and treatment. Because there are no reliably validated in vitro tests available, aspirin and NSAID challenges are considered to be the criterion standard for the diagnosis of these hypersensitivity reactions, though in some patients the diagnosis can be made on the basis of a clear clinical history.

Abstract
Aspirin and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used in the United States and throughout the world for a variety of indications. Several unique hypersensitivity syndromes exist to this class of medications, making them one of the common reasons for consultation to the allergist. The lack of any laboratory-based diagnostic studies to assist in identifying the culprits in these reactions make evaluation of aspirin and NSAID hypersensitivity challenging. Identifying patients appropriate for oral challenge and/or desensitization protocols is the standard pragmatic approach to this issue when it arises.

Abstract
As editors, we concluded that it would be helpful to our readers to write a Year in Review article that highlights the Review, Original, and Clinical Communication articles published in 2016 in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice. We summarized articles on the topics of asthma, rhinitis/rhinosinusitis, food allergy, anaphylaxis, drug allergy, urticarial/angioedema, eosinophilic disorders, and immunodeficiency. Within each topic, epidemiologic findings are presented, relevant aspects of prevention are described, and diagnostic and therapeutic advances are enumerated. Diagnostic tools described include history, skin tests, and in vitro tests. Treatments discussed include behavioral therapy, allergen avoidance therapy, positive and negative effects of pharmacologic therapy, and various forms of immunologic and desensitization management. We hope this review will help you, our readers, consolidate and use this extensive and practical knowledge for the benefit of your patients.
