A Review of Shared Decision-Making, Published Protocols, and Post-desensitization Strategies in Oral Immunotherapy (OIT)

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 24(4), P. 173 - 197

Published: March 5, 2024

Abstract Purpose of Review The aim this review is to highlight key published oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocols and post-desensitization strategies for the major food allergens cover important concepts consider when evaluating OIT food-allergic patients. Shared decision-making should help identify patient family values which will influence type evidence-based protocol maintenance strategy use. Recent Findings With emerging as a treatment option, there pressing need patients, physicians, other providers have nuanced understanding management choices available them. There are now randomized controlled trials (RCT) peanut, egg, milk, wheat, reports cohorts patients who undergone tree nuts sesame clinically. current contain significant diversity in terms starting dose, build-up schedule, even product used desensitization. Emerging data can direct long-term on OIT. Summary Based elicited through shared process, an may be selected that balances level desensitization, potential side effects, frequency clinic visits, induce sustained unresponsiveness, among factors. Once dosing reached, most maintain regular exposure allergen remain desensitized. option transition commercial products with equivalent amounts protein dose would simplify process perhaps improve palatability well. Less frequent or decreased provide practical benefits but affect desensitization safety some

In general, substantial heterogeneity high bias observed across majority studies. impact geographical location climate differences is suggestive severe reaction. Conclusions Future cross-sectional should employ rigorous study designs, using validated questionnaires, thoroughly report health outcomes, verified by physicians.
