email message dated September 29. 2011 after video conference on Desensitizations attended by allergists,
oncologists and other specialists
• 69 yo f Oxaliplatin hypersensitivity: after 5 exposures: severe flushing, back pain and hypotension unresponsive to increased pre-medications
• Desensitization Protocol Oncologist• Patient with hypotension, flushing for several minutes before
infusion is stopped and patient treated• What should I do? • Can I desensitize the patient?• Does the patient need a skin test?• What are the risks factors and potential outcomes for the
patient?
Desensitization Algorithm• Is this the first exposure?• What is the nature and severity of the reaction?• Is skin testing helpful?• What are the risks factors for the patient?• Is rapid desensitization indicated?• What protocol should be used?• What outcomes should be expected ?
Complex Allergies
• Cancer patients survive longer and are exposed to multiple chemotherapy treatments
• Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases (RA, IBD, Psoriasis) are repeatedly exposed to new monoclonal Abs and other biological agents
• Patients with cystic fibrosis survive longer, receive lung transplants and are exposed to multiple courses of antibiotics
• Increase in Atopic diseases
Allergy Therapy Mechanisms I. Classical Immunotherapy Thr, IgG4 months to years pollen, dust mites, other allergens II. Rush Immunotherapy Syk weeks to months hymenoptera venom, specific pollen III. Rapid desensitizations hours to days chemotherapy, antibiotics, monoclonals, aspirin, foods (peanut, milk, others)
Hypersensitivity Reaction to CarboplatinAnaphylactic IgE
• 49 year old female with ovarian cancer• Treated with Taxol and carboplatin x 6 cycles
with no side effects• Recurrence of cancer, restarted on Taxol and
Carboplatin for 6 more cycles• 2nd infusion with Carboplatin (8 cycle):cramping,
abdominal pain, flushing/pruritus, diffuse urticarial rash, SOB, hypotension, code
• Skin test to carboplatin : positive
Incidence of Carboplatin HSR • patients receiving > 7 cycles of carboplatin
have 27% of HSR, and 50% of those patients develop moderate to severe symptoms (anaphylaxis).
Increased pre-medication (steroids) and re-infusion does not prevent HSR reactions.
• Cross-reactivity among platins is high.
Can carboplatin be used if it is first line therapy?
How to overcome IgE and non-IgE
mediated anaphylactic reactions?
• Avoidance• Substituting• Control/Inhibition mast cell/IgE reactions
Rapid Desensitization:
- no substitute or first line therapy
- life-threatening condition
- less efficacy
Definition Corollaries AAAAI Drug Allergy Practice Parameters 2010
Drug Desensitization: temporary induction of clinical tolerance.
The long term effect related to drug1/2 life.
Needs to be repeated at each exposure or when 2 1/2 lifes have lapsed (platins, antibiotics, monoclonals)
Risk for anaphylaxis.
Evolving concepts
• High risk procedure: requires the introduction of a potentially lethal medication to a highly sensitized patient
• Performed in critically ill patients: survival depends on administration of a medication to which a patient has a previous history of a severe adverse reaction
• No alternative medications are available or the alternatives (second and third line choices)have less demonstrated therapeutic value than first line treatment
(diminished life expectancy or quality of life)
Current understanding
• It is a temporary phenomenon• Antigen specific• Achieved by increasing doubling non-activating
doses • Can be maintained by continuous administration • Re-desensitization is needed if 2 half lives of the
medication have spanned• Can only be done by trained allergists

Mechanisms of rapid desensitizationsMechanisms of rapid desensitizations
Rapid desensitization blocks the release of pre-formed mediators Sancho et al EJI 2011
Desensitization to DNP-HSA
Desensitization to OVA
Desensitization impairs calcium influx and is specificDesensitization impairs calcium influx and is specific Sancho et al EJI 2011 in pressSancho et al EJI 2011 in press
Cells desensitized to one antigen (DNP) respond to a challenge with a second antigen (OVA)
Antigen/IgE/FceRI complex is not internalized during rapid desensitization

Who is a candidate for Rapid Desensitization?
• No age limitations• Informed consent• Type I hypersensitivity reaction ( anaphylaxis)• Positive skin test : platins, taxenes, MoAbs, antibiotics Negative skin test: MoAbs, taxenes No skin test available: adriamycin and other vessicants
Exclusion criteria:• Type III or Type IV reactions (slow desensitization)• Stevens Johnson Syndrome/TEN• DRESS/ eosinophilia reactions• ACE-induced angioedema

Risk Stratification
Low/Moderate Risk
- FEV1 > 1.5 L
- No cardiac history
- Moderate/Mild reaction: skin, GI, respiratory, neuromuscular
1 or 2 organs
No changes in Vital Signs
High Risk
- FEV1 < 1.5 L
- Cardiac Disease w/wo beta blockade
- Severe reaction : anaphylaxis/intubation
Changes in vitals signs: BP, O2
Location of desensitizations
MICU : first time, high risk
In-patient: first time, moderate risk
Out-patient: after first desensitization
first time low risk
