About this trial
Most current studies involve using a biological drug to increase the safety of allergen immunotherapy (AIT) especially in the treatment of food allergies, to avoid the risk of anaphylaxis. However, adding Xolair® to AIT may improve the therapy's effectiveness. There are still few observations on this topic, especially in patients with house dust mite (HDM)-driven asthma.
