IMMUNOTERAPIA SPECIFICA (ITS)
Somministrazione di estratti allergenici purificati (prima
a dosi crescenti e poi a dose di mantenimento),
al fine di ottenere la riduzione della risposta clinica
all’allergene stesso.
L’immunoterapia allergene specifica è un vaccino
a tutti gli effetti
La via tradizionale di somministrazione è quella iniettiva
sottocutanea (SCIT), ed è disponibile in alternativa anche
la via sublinguale

falliscono, ma è complementare
ad essi.

Aspetti pratici.
In Italia è un “patient named product” (preparato dalla ditta
per ciascun paziente dietro indicazione specialistica.
Gli estratti sono standardizzati (ossia è nota la quantità di
allergene maggiore e la potenza)
Si effettua una fase di graduale incremento del dosaggio
(solitamente 1/sett per 2 mesi), seguita da una fase di
mantenimento (1/mese).
Per allergeni pollinici si può effettuare un trattamento prestagionale. Per allergeni perenni, il trattamento è
continuativo. Durata consigliata 3-5 anni, da sospendere se
dopo 2 anni non si ha beneficio.

Il disturbo deve essere IgE - mediato
(skin test o RAST positivi)
L’allergene responsabile deve essere individuato
con sicurezza
Valutare la gravità e la durata dei sintomi
l trattamento farmacologico é sufficientemente
ben tollerato?
Il paziente é in grado di affrontare l’ITS?
(costi, impegno, stile di vita)
È disponibile un vaccino standardizzato?
L’efficacia del vaccino che si intende usare
é dimostrata?
CAUSAL ROLE OF THE ALLERGEN(S):
Clinical history and exposure
SKIN TESTING
RAST ASSAY
NASAL (CONJUNCTIVAL)
CHALLENGE
SLIT (IT in general) for the clinically relevant allergen(s)
Preferably one, but in selected cases 2 or 3 extracts.
Verificare ed annotare la dose, l’ora e il sito di iniezione
Visitare il paziente!!!
Iniezione sottocutanea
Aspirare per escludere di iniettare in un vaso
Tempo di osservazione 30 minuti
PREMEDICATION:
PROS:
Preventing reactions
Avoiding severe reactions
Diminishing reactions’intensity
CONS:
May mask symptoms’ onset
May delay appropriate treatment

The optimal maintenance dose has been clearly
identified (by dose-ranging studies) only for grass
tablets.
It is 15-25 mcg major allergen per day (30 times an
equivalent SCIT course)
Dose ranging studies are lacking for the remaining
alllergens
The efficacy has been anyway proven over a wide
range of doses, and therfore the recommendation of
the manufacturers should be followed.

The omission of the build-up phase seems not to
increase the risk of adverse events.
Build up is usually not done with the more recent
tablet preparations
Short build-up courses (1-5 days) can be applied,
according to the manufacturer’s suggestion and to
own experience

SLIT
No fatal or near-fatal event
reported since 1986
6 cases of anaphylaxis
SLIT: KNOWN SIDE EFFECTS
Local: oral itching-swelling
stomach-ache
nausea-vomiting
Systemic: Urticaria/angioedema
Rhinitis
Asthma
Anaphylaxis
Relatively frequent.
Usually self-resolve after
the first doses without
treatment. If persist
reduce the dose.
Rare. Give symptomatic
treatment and reduce the
dose. If persist, stop SLIT
Exceptional. Treat
properly and stop SLIT
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Systemic immunological diseases
Immunodeficiecies
Malignancies
Cardiovascular diseases
Severe/uncontrolled asthma
Age < 5 years (relative contraindication)
Modified from WHO 1998
Explain to patients the possible side effects
Explain that side effects tend to disappear
after few doses
Suggest medications (e.g. oral
antihistamines) to control local side effects if
any
Administer the first dose under medical
supervision
PROBLEM:
Recommendations differ
among guidelines
PROBLEM:
The vast majority of patients
are polysensitized

CONCLUSIONI
Farmacoterapia e immunoterapia hanno meccanismi diversi
Il loro effetto è additivo
L’ITS consente un risparmio di farmaci sintomatici
L’ITS ha effetti preventivi e a lungo termine che i farmaci
non hanno
L’ITS agisce contemporaneamente su naso e bronchi
FARMACI E ITS NON SONO MUTUAMENTE ESCLUSIVI
