A new study led by the Stanford School of Medicine shows that the drug omalizumab can significantly reduce the risk of severe allergic reactions in children with food allergies by protecting against small, accidental exposures to allergens. The FDA-approved treatment, highlighted for its promising results in a multi-food allergic patient study, suggests a breakthrough in managing life-threatening food allergies, offering hope for safer daily living conditions for affected individuals.
Omalizumab, which the Food and Drug Administration originally approved to treat diseases such as allergic asthma and chronic hives, binds to and inactivates the antibodies that cause many kinds of allergic disease. Based on the data collected in the new study, the FDA approved omalizumab for reducing risk of allergic reactions to foods on Feb. 16.
“There is a real need for treatment that goes beyond vigilance and offers choices for our food-allergic patients,” Chinthrajah said. About 80% of patients taking omalizumab were able to consume small amounts of at least one allergy-triggering food without inducing an allergenic reaction, 69% of patients could consume small amounts of two allergenic foods and 47% could eat small amounts of all three allergenic foods.
