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 Carboplatin
Anaphylactic 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 reinfusion 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

Desensitization to
DNP-HSA
Desensitization to
OVA
Rapid desensitization blocks the release of pre-formed mediators
Sancho et al EJI 2011
Desensitization impairs calcium influx and is specific
Sancho 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
Sancho et al. EJI 2011
OVA antigen
Cholera toxin
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
Evaluation of patients for desensitization to chemotherapy including MoAbs
Hypersensitivity reactions to mAbs: 105 desensitizations in 23 patients, from evaluation to treatment.

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
