Abstract

Allergy Life Sciences & Biomedicine Science & Technology Immunology
Platinum-based antineoplastic agents (platins) are the most frequently used chemotherapeutics in patients with a variety of cancers, such as ovarian, colorectal, endometrial, and pancreatic cancer among others, and their use is associated with an increase in drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs). In particular, 2 commonly used platins, oxaliplatin and carboplatin, have high rates of DHR: carboplatin DHR rates range from 9% to 27%, whereas oxaliplatin DHR rates are as high as 25% and typically manifest between the fifth and seventh infusions. Furthermore, the majority of DHRs to these drugs are IgE mediated, which typically results in severe and anaphylactic reactions. An approach to prevent these IgE-mediated DHRs is rapid drug desensitization (RDD). RDD induces temporary tolerization by delivering incremental suboptimal doses in a short period of time, allowing patients to receive the full therapeutic dose without or with minimal reactions.
