RESUMEN
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: A better understanding of the most recent scientific literature in the use of biological therapy in the treatment of patients with IgE-mediated food allergy. RECENT FINDINGS: A systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated safety and effectiveness of omalizumab in the treatment of food allergy. The findings support the potential use of omalizumab as a monotherapy or as an adjunct to oral immunotherapy in IgE-mediated cow's milk allergy. The potential use of other biologics in the management of food allergy is subject of speculation. SUMMARY: Different biological therapies are under evaluation for food allergic patients. The advance in literature will guide for a personalized treatment in the near future. However, additional research is needed to better understand the best candidate for each treatment, the optimal dose and timing.
