The effect of an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody on the early- and late- phase responses to allergen inhalation in asthmatic subjects

A humanized murine monoclonal antibody directed to the Fc epsilonR1-
binding domain of human IgE (rhuMAb-E25) has been shown to inhibit the
binding of IgE to mast cells without provoking mast cell activation. To
examine the effects of neutralizing IgE on allergic airway responses, we
assessed the effects of 9 wk of treatment with rhuMAb-E25 in a parallel
group, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 19 allergic
asthmatic subjects. We found that treatment with rhuMAb-E25 reduced serum
IgE, increased the dose of allergen needed to provoke an early asthmatic
response, reduced the mean maximal fall in FEV1 during the early response
(30 +/- 10% at baseline to 18.8 +/- 8%, versus 33 +/- 8% at baseline to 34
+/- 4% after placebo; p = 0.01), and reduced the mean maximal fall in FEV1
during the late response (24 +/- 20% at baseline to 9 +/- 10% versus 20 +/-
17% at baseline to 18 +/- 17% after placebo; p = 0.047). We conclude that
an anti-IgE monoclonal antibody, which inhibits binding of IgE to its
receptor, suppresses the early- and late-phase responses to inhaled
allergen in allergic asthmatic subjects. Targeting IgE with rhuMAb-E25
might be a useful treatment for allergic asthma.
