Ultrafast regimen for Pru p3 sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT-Peach®) in patients with anaphylactic LTP-Syndrome.

Summary: Sublingual immunotherapy with Pru p3 extract (SLIT-peach®) is used in allergy patients to multiple plant foods to induce tolerance to nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTP). The aim of this paper is to communicate the efficacy of a new ultrafast regimen. Until now on the initiation regimen lasts four days. We present a number of 22 patients with LTP-syndrome due to ingestion of different vegetable foods sensitized to Pru p3. According to European Academy of Allergy position paper (1) food immunotherapy is indicated when avoidance measures are ineffective, undesirable, or cause serious limitations on patients quality of life. Our patients had an impact on their quality of life (score > 130) before SLIT measured with (2) EuroPrevall Food Allergy Quality of Life Questionnaire (FAQLQ). The ultrafast regimen in one day is achieved in the 95% of our patients. Mild adverse reactions where observed, such as oral pruritus presence in almost all patients. Only one patient (5%) achieved the maintenance dose in two days due to intense oral pruritus. No patients presented systemic reactions. The maintenance dose achieved consists of 4 drops (0,16 ml) from vial number 4 daily. The concentration of Pru p3 in vial nº4 is 50 cg/ml. Four drops a day equals 8 micrograms of Pru p3. This new ultrafast regimen in one day is secure in patients with LTP-Syndrome to induce tolerance to SLIT-peach® (Pru p3 extract).

Dupilumab to induce tolerance to SLIT-Melocotón®.

Summary: Introduction. Food allergy is an increasing problem for population and treatments inducing tolerance using sublingual immunotherapy is currently under study. Case presentation. Our aim as allergists is to achieve tolerance to sublingual allergen specific immunotherapy with sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT-peach). We present a case report consisting of a 40 year old woman with anaphylactic reactions after eating fruit and other plant-foods due to sensitization to nonspecific lipid transfer proteins (nsLTP). Her diagnose, LTP-syndrome. This protein is the main panallergen in our area and causes crossed reaction to multiple plant foods. The principal allergen in this syndrome is rPru p3, present in peach and most vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains. Serum specific IgE levels were performed using microarrays and positive for seven nsLTPs: rAra h9, rCor a8, nJug r3, rPru p3, rTri a 14, nArt v3 and rPla a3. Immediate reaction to SLIT in the fourth month of maintenance-dose led us to interrupt pru p3 immunotherapy. Immediate reaction to Omalizumab in the fourth dose in Hospital consisting in anaphylaxis prompted us to switch to Dupilumab. After four months with this monoclonal antibody we reintroduced sublingual immunotherapy with pru p3 SLIT-peach® achieving maintenance dose of four drops a day with no clinical reactions. SLIT-peach® in our patient is crucial for her due to her restricted diet, the severity of reactions and lack of quality of life measured by Europevall questionnaire. Conclusions in our case our aim is to achieve SLIT. We report a case of compassionate use with Dupilumab in a patient with multiple food allergy syndrome mediated by nsLTP. There are no cases reported for Dupilumab in this use.
