RESUMO

Background: Etiology of allergic rhinitis and asthma is frequently associated with house dust mite sensitization and allergen immunotherapy (AIT) represents the only disease modifying treatment. In a real world setting, clinicians would benefit from biomarkers to monitor or predict response to AIT. Methods: Twenty-four consecutive house dust mite (HDM) mono-sensitized rhinitic patients, treated with subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) as per clinical practice, were enrolled. Multiple in vitro biomarkers such as basophil activation (BAT), IL-10 levels, and molecular allergen-specific IgE were performed during HDM SCIT, to monitor the effects of AIT and then correlated to in vivo scores (VAS, CMSS, RQLQ). Nasal cytology was performed at baseline and after 6 and 12 months of treatment. Finally, the economic impact of SCIT in this cohort of patients was evaluated. Results: Clinical biomarkers confirmed to be useful to monitor AIT efficacy. As for laboratory biomarkers, BAT showed a reduction trend, particularly for D2C1, suggesting that this is a useful parameter in monitoring patients. IL-10 levels tend to remain stable or slightly decrease during treatment. The economic analysis confirmed the favorable impact of immunotherapy. Conclusions: In this cohort of patients, SCIT confirmed its effectiveness in reducing symptoms and drug utilization. Clinical scores confirmed to be valid in monitoring patients and their response. BAT demonstrated to be useful in monitoring more than predicting response. Further studies are needed to better explore the usefulness of these biomarkers in AIT.
