Omalizumab
摘要
Omalizumab is a humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody approved by the US FDA for the treatment of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) unresponsive to H1 antihistamines. Apart from CSU, the efficacy of omalizumab has been demonstrated in atopic dermatitis (AD), bullous pemphigoid (BP), hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES), mastocytosis and Kimura’s disease (KD), with the level of evidence varying for each disorder. Besides, in anecdotal reports, the benefits of omalizumab in TEN and Netherton syndrome have been highlighted.
