Overview
Future or Investigational therapies
Calcineurin inhibitors
- They are capable of inducing local immunosuppression by blocking Th2 lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 production and reducing eosinophils via inhibition of IL-5.
- Topical [1] and systemic cyclosporine a (CsA) [2] have been suggested in the treatment of severe atopic keratoconjunctivitis.
- Use of CsA appears to be safe and can eliminate the need/dependence of steroids.
- Others calcineurin inhibitors that appears to be well tolerated by patients with severe atopic blepharoconjunctivitis[3] and severe atopic keratoconjunctivitis [45] are tacrolimus and pimecrolimus[4].
