Birch-induced allergic rhinitis: Results of exposure during nasal allergen challenge, environmental chamber, and pollen season

Alina Gherasim et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate birch induced allergic rhinitis under 3 different conditions and found that the outcomes in environmental exposure chambers (EECs) were similar to those obtained with nasal allergen challenge (NAC) and natural exposure, suggesting the usefulness of EEC in allergic rhinitis studies.

Allergen challenge tests in allergen im- munotherapy: State of the art

P. Zieglmayer et al.

Summary: Different allergen challenge test methods including CAC, NAC, BAC, and AEC have their own safety and limitations. NAC is the only method with a high level of standardization, while subjective symptom scoring is the only evaluation method for CAC and BAC. AEC is a complex and heterogeneous method that requires validation of system correlation and comparability of study data. Only experienced staff can ensure the safety of all challenge methods.

One hundred and ten years of Allergen Immunotherapy: A journey from empiric observation to evidence

Oliver Pfaar et al.

Summary: Over the past 110 years, allergen immunotherapy (AIT) has evolved as the most important pillar of the treatment of allergic patients, providing disease-modifying therapy with broad and undisputed clinical efficacy and safety evidence. Innovative approaches are continuously being developed to improve clinical improvement, with a focus on adjuvants, peptides, and new routes of administration.

Personalized medicine for allergy treatment: Allergen immunotherapy still a unique and unmatched model

Cristoforo Incorvaia et al.

Summary: The introduction of personalized medicine has revolutionized the approach to treating diseases by focusing on treating the individual patient. Personalized medicine has shown significant improvements in allergy diagnosis by identifying specific allergens and predicting patient responsiveness to therapies, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of allergen immunotherapy.

The use of nasal allergen vs allergen exposure chambers to evaluate allergen immunotherapy

Lubnaa Hossenbaccus et al.

Summary: Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) is the main disease-modifying treatment option for allergic rhinitis (AR) patients with persistent moderate-severe AR, when traditional pharmacotherapies are not effective. Nasal allergen challenge (NAC) and allergen exposure chamber (AEC) are translational models used to study the properties, safety, and efficacy of AIT. AECs are more effective for studying multiple participants but require specialized facilities, while NAC is a powerful tool to determine the clinical translation of basic science and animal model findings, especially as new AIT therapies and formulations are developed.
