Imatinib remains the most successful agent, whereas all the others have had modest effects on the cancers that they target. The current challenge is to identify the agents that need to be combined with TKIs to maximize their efficacy. One of the most promising approaches is to combine immune therapy with TKI treatment. Imatinib Hypersensitivity Itching and severe skin rash in a patient which was resistant to lowering the dose and corticosteroids no eosinophils in the biopsy change to next generation dasatinib was successful and the patient has continued on treatment indefinitely Albayrak et al EAJM 2011 Desensitization For Monoclonal Antibodies, Check Point In| and Immune Modulators High risk procedure: requires the introduction of a potentially lethal medication to a highly sensitized patient Performed in critically ill patients: survival/quality of life depends on administration of a medication to which a patient has presented an adverse reaction No alternative medication is available or the alternatives (second and third line choices) have less demonstrated therapeutic value than It is a temporary phenomenon Antigen specific, not IgE depleting, not hapten inhibition nor depletion of mast cell mediators It is done by repetitive increasing sub-optimal doses (suboptimal concentrations) of the medication involved in the adverse reaction Once desensitization is complete, the tolerization can be maintained by continuous administration of the medication Conclusions es | All Immune Modulators, Check Point Inhibitors and Monoclonal Antibodies can induced immediate IgE/non IgE systemic reactions, delayed and locai reactions Skin testing predictive values depends on the type of reaction and the drug Desensitizations are available for immediate IgE/ non IgE reactions, delayed and local reactions but not for SCARS Research is needed to further understand the mechanisms of reactions, their management and treatment rs Y
