RATIONALE: To evaluate the role of IgE in atopic dermatitis (AD) bycombining immunoglobulin (Ig)-apheresis and anti-IgE-antibody omali-zumab to reduce IgE in patients with severe, therapy-refractory AD andgrossly elevated IgE levels.
METHODS: Investigator-initiated open-label pilot trial, treating 10patients with Ig-apheresis prior to regular subcutaneous administrationof 450 mg omalizumab every 2 weeks for 6 months followed by a 6 monthsfollow-up. On every visit, total and free IgE and TARC (CCL17) werequantified and the severity of AD documented by standardized photos aswell as rated by SCORAD and by the patients’ personal evaluation on aseverity and pruritus-scale.
RESULTS: Before starting treatment, IgE-levels ranged from 3,728 kU/Lto 69,872 kU/L. IgE-levels were seen to be reduced significantly after theIg-apheresis and to continuously drop in all patients during the anti-IgE-therapy (reaching free IgE levels <150 kU/L in 5/10 and <1,000 kU/L in 9/10 patients). A reverse trend was observed during the follow-up period.
Parallel, a clear improvement of AD was seen during the treatment periodin all patients followed by an aggravation during follow-up (SCORAD,pruritus, severityscale, TARC). Two patients dropped out after initialimprovement due to acute exacerbation despite anti-IgE therapy and onepatient was lost due to lack of compliance.
CONCLUSIONS: The sequential combination of Ig-apheresis andomalizumab is suitable to reduce grossly elevated serum IgE levels andimproves clinical symptoms of severe refractory AD. Due to the limitednumber of patients included and the open-label design in our pilot trial,further studies are needed to strengthen this conclusion.
