Analysis of the features of severe asthma patients with aspirin intolerance.
NSAID-exacerbated respiratory disease(NERD) is a T2-phenotype of severe-asthma(SA), usually associated with chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS) with/without polyps and no allergy. The mean age of patients in studies is>60 years and young adults are poorly known. Moreover, most publications don ´t confirm CRS and NERD. We analyze the features of SA in younger(18-40 years) and aspirin intolerant individuals recruited from eight SA units of BIOBADALER-consortium. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Using 15-Oxo-ETE for Risk Stratifying Aspirin Hypersensitivity in Asthma Patients
15-oxo-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-oxo-ETE), a downstream product on arachidonic acid (AA) via 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15- LOX-1) pathway was markedly higher in nasal polyp tissue of patients with aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) compared to control groups. We suggested a possible role of 15-oxo-ETE as an in vitro diagnostic biomarker for AERD. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Twelve-Month Health Care Utilization in Individuals Starting on Biologics for Chronic Immune-Mediated Diseases
Individuals with suboptimally controlled chronic immune-mediated diseases (IMDs) have high rates of healthcare utilization. We hypothesized that higher disease activity scores would correlate with a higher rate of non-scheduled healthcare visits among a single center cohort of patients with chronic IMDs mostly starting new biologics (Biologics and Clinical Immunology Cohort at Sinai (BACICS) ). We also sought to determine the proportion of visits related to the primary IMD. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Caregiver Willingness to use Biologics in Children
Atopic dermatitis (AD) affects around 10% of children globally, with 20% facing treatment-resistant forms. Studies favor biologics over conventional therapies. Our hypothesis is that disease severity and caregiver background and education influence biologic willingness. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

MMR and Varicella Immunization Rate During Dupilumab Therapy
Current FDA guidance is to pause administration of live vaccinations during dupilumab therapy. It is currently unknown whether this recommendation results in delayed vaccination. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Hypogammaglobulinemia Following Use of An Anti-neonatal Fc Receptor (FcRn) Monoclonal Antibody, Efgartigimod.
Efgartigimod, an anti-neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) monoclonal antibody recently approved for IgG-mediated autoimmune diseases, such as myasthenia gravis, accelerates IgG destruction via FcRn inhibition. Due to recent FDA approval of efgartigimod, data regarding the risk of hypogammaglobulinemia and infections in patients receiving efgartigimod is limited.

Inhibition Of IL-13 Cytokine-Induced Responses Do Not Affect COVID Incidence
The IL-13 inflammatory pathway is known to potentiate atopic disease entities including asthma and atopic dermatitis (AD). More recently, IL-13 signaling has been associated with COVID-19 viral propagation. Dupilumab is commonly used to treat AD through inhibition of IL-13, but the immunosuppressive effect of biologics is still being explored with respect to COVID-19 incidence and severity. We hypothesized that IL-13 inhibition in dupilumab AD patients may decrease incidence of COVID-19 infection compared to non-dupilumab AD patients. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Vaccination against yellow fever in fractionated doses without a previous skin test and egg anaphylaxis
Yellow fever is a public health problem with a high morbimortality. The vaccine against yellow fever (YFV) is effective but represents a risk for patients with egg allergy because of its ovalbumin content. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Dupilumab, Immune Surveillance And Malignancy: What Does The Literature Reveal?
Dupilumab is an IgG4-monoclonal antibody binding IL-4 receptor alpha, which inhibits downstream IL-4 and IL-13 signaling via JAK-STAT. Modulation of this pathway has been linked to the progression of solid and hematological malignancy. Widely used in sinusitis, asthma and eczema, the influence of dupilumab on oncogenic potential is unclear. The reports of various malignancies developing after dupilumab use are concerning and warrant investigation. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Comprehensive murine model of IgE mediated multiple food-group cross-reactive anaphylaxis
Approximately 32 million people in the US suffer from food allergies. Clinically, peanut/tree nuts, fish and shellfish food groups have substantial risk of cross reactivity. A murine model of multiple food group-cross reactivity is needed for developing novel therapies. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)

Identification of IgE cross-reactive allergens causing food allergies including pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS)
IgE cross-reactive allergens are often responsible for food allergies including pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS). However, their repertories are not fully characterized. Our goal is to identify IgE cross-reactive allergens, that potentially cause food allergies, using murine models. (Source: Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology)
