Infusion Reactions Hyper sensitivity reactions

Adverse Events (AE):

Any untoward medical occurrence

associated with the use of a drug, whether or not drug related Infusion Reactions (IR):

Any AE caused by the drug

Hypersensitivity Reactions:

Antibody- or cellular-mediated IR

Which tools are available for the clinician to manage the infusion reactions?

– In vitro tests for ADA detection and Isotyping

  • Non isotype-specific

  • IgE Isotyping

  • Skin testing for IgE-

 Immunochemical methods

 Binding assays (ELISAs, RIA, elettrochemiluminesce)

 Biophysical methods

 Surface plasmon resonance

 Bioassays

Each of these methods has benefits and limitations !!

Detection of ADAs: current methods

  • ELISA bridging

format is the most used test

  • IFX-treated patients
  • BID patients (CD)
  • ELISA, RIA, EIA, RGA

Performances of assays are comparable. However, anti-IFX Ab titers show systematic differences, and in individual patients, only the same assay should be used. Problems may arise when different assays are used to manage therapies in the same patient.

quite short

Skin testing for BA

  • Limited data in literature
  • Positive skin testing has been reported mainly in patients with HRs

caused by:

– antiTNF agents – Rituximab – Trastuzumab

  • A Few studies (small case series) report results of skin testing confirmed

by in vitro assay

– Infliximab – Rituximab – Natalizumab

In vivo tests are not currently standardized and approved for BA

The value of skin testing for BA in the clinical practice

Preventive manner ?? Preventive manner ??

  • To assess UNREACTIVE PATIENTS

– To identify the risk of IgE-mediated events since…… ……..NPV is very high ……..The presence of IgE deeply correlate with the development of (severe) reactions …….skin test are easy and safe …….may be predictable of reactions (at least for some BA)

……BUT not all patients could be submitted to skin testing in a preventive manner (time consuming!!!)

slide-36

…..preventive skin testing could be useful

IgE develop early during the treatment IgE develop more frequently after interruption

Conclusions

  • Biological agents are up-growing cause of drug-related

adverse effects, and the majority of these adverse effects are due to antibody formation

  • In vivo procedures offer a new tool for the diagnosis of at

least IgE-mediated HR

  • IgE and non IgE-mediated mechanisms may be involved
  • In vitro ADA assay in combination with in vivo assay can be

suggested to characterize reactive patients and to identify potentially reactive patients

Skin testing: implications in desensitization

  • SELECTION of PATIENTS

– To define IgE-dependent reactions – To perform risk stratification ??

  • Does skin testing positivity correlate with a greater likelood of developing

reactions during the subsequent desensitization?

  • SELECTION of PROCEDURE

– Skin test endpoint-titration to choose the starting dose

  • ASSESSMENT OF DESENSITIZATION OUTCOME

– Does skin testing become negative after desensitization?

Remarks

  • Circulating T cells specific to biological agents are

detectable in the blood of ADR+ patients and usually parallel the kinetics of serum ADAs

  • Different subsets of drug-specific Treg cells are

detectable in PBMC of ADR+ patients, which can, at least in part, explain the variable T (and B) cell response to the drug

  • The identification of T cell response to some biologicals

(such as IFX) may prove particularly difficult
