Abstract:

With the understanding of pathogenesis, biologics are gradually being applied as a mean of precision medicine for a variety of common allergic diseases, and good therapeutic results have been achieved. However, compared to foreign countries, China has fewer approved drugs and patients’ treatment options are more limited, so expanding the range of drugs and indications is the way forward. As with any emerging drug, safety remains a key issue for biologics, where anaphylaxis, a rapid-onset, life-threatening and serious adverse reaction, have been found to occur in the treatment of a variety of biologics, but it is not well understood or taken seriously enough. The authors therefore review eight biologics used internationally to treat common allergic reactions: omalizumab (anti-IgE), mepolizumab (anti-IL-5), reslizumab (anti-IL-5), benralizumab (anti-IL-5), dupilumab (anti-IL-4, IL-13), tralokinumab (anti-IL-13), nemolizumab (anti-IL-31R) and tesepelumab (anti-TSLP), and summarises the incidence of anaphylaxis to these biologics in order to promote awareness among healthcare professionals, to provide reasonable and necessary supervision after drug administration, and to be able to identify and manage anaphylaxis when they occur.

Key words: Anaphylaxis, Drug hypersensitivity, Biotargeted therapy
