Overview
Investigational therapy for anaphylaxis include various forms of immunotherapy and monoclonal antibodies. [1]
Future or Investigational Therapies
Investigational therapies include subcutaneous, oral, sublingual, and epicutaneous immunotherapies. Subcutaneous immunotherapy has been used for allergies to pollen and peanuts. Oral immunotherapy has also been used for peanuts, as well as milk and egg. However, it has been found that while these patients are able to develop desensitization to their food allergies, if they don't continue regular intake, then their anaphylactic reactions can resurface. Sublingual immunotherapy has been used for kiwi, hazelnut, milk, and peanuts with the allergen placed under the tongue for an extended period of time with much improvement seen. Epicutaneous immunotherapy was recently under experimentation for milk allergies. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
