Imatinib, the first commercial tyrosine kinase inhibitors
(TKIs) into the clinical setting in 2000 to treat cancers;
approximately fifteen other TKIs.
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

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 medicationConclusions 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
