A 5-Year Open-Label Follow-up of a Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of Intralymphatic Immunotherapy for Birch and Grass Allergy Reveals Long-term Beneficial Effects

E. Hjalmarsson et al.

Summary: This study conducted a 5-year follow-up of intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) for pollen-induced allergic rhinitis and found that ILIT has a long-lasting effect. The symptoms of the patients treated with ILIT were significantly reduced, and there were changes in immunological parameters as well.

High dose pollen intralymphatic immunotherapy: Two RDBPC trials question the benefit of dose increase

Laila Hellkvist et al.

Summary: The study found that high-dose ILIT after recent SCIT may further reduce grass pollen-induced seasonal symptoms, but caution is needed when up-dosing in de novo ILIT.

Intralymphatic immunotherapy with one or two allergens renders similar clinical response in patients with allergic rhinitis due to birch and grass pollen

Lars Ahlbeck et al.

Summary: Intralymphatic immunotherapy is a fast, efficient, and safe treatment method for severe allergic rhinitis patients. The study results showed that this treatment can significantly reduce symptoms, decrease medication use, and improve quality of life. The frequency of regulatory T cells increased, while birch-specific IgE levels decreased and IL-10 secretion increased after three years of treatment.

Allergen immunotherapy for allergic airway diseases: Use lessons from the past to design a brighter future

Laura Hesse et al.

Summary: Allergic respiratory diseases are chronic inflammatory diseases with diverse symptoms. Traditional pharmacological intervention only suppresses symptoms, while allergen immunotherapy (AIT) has the potential to induce long-term tolerance. However, AIT is not effective for all allergic disorders and requires years of treatment. Extensive research has been conducted to improve the safety and efficacy of AIT by studying its mechanisms.

Intralymphatic immunotherapy improves grass pollen allergic rhinoconjunctivitis: A 3-year randomized placebo-controlled trial

Soren Helbo Skaarup et al.

Summary: ILIT can significantly reduce grass pollen allergy symptoms and use of rescue medication, particularly in the first season after treatment. A booster injection one year later had no additional effect. Repeated measures of IgE and IgG4 in the ILIT groups showed significant between-group differences and within-group changes.

Mechanisms of Allergen Immunotherapy in Allergic Rhinitis

Gabija Drazdauskaite et al.

Summary: Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa triggered by allergens, with symptoms such as sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, nasal congestion, and allergic conjunctivitis. It impacts a quarter of the populations in the USA and Europe.

Intralymphatic immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Michael T. Werner et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) is safe and effective in treating allergic rhinitis by reducing symptoms, medication use, and desensitizing to allergens. Further research through larger randomized controlled trials is needed for wider adoption of ILIT as a form of allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT).
