Omalizumab: Mechanisms of Action
1. Omalizumab binds to the IgE molecule preventing its
interaction with IgE receptors on inflammatory cells.
2. The fall in free-IgE leads to down regulation of FcεRI on
basophils, mast cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells.
3. The release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from
basophils and mast cells is decreased.
4. The effect on pDCs may reduce allergen presentation to
T-cells.
4. There is a decrease in levels of blood, tissue and sputum
eosinophils.

93% with severe persistent asthma.
 Mean baseline values:

Omalizumab in Children
• 627 children ages 6 to 11 years with
asthma not fully controlled on ≥ 200 mcg
FP/d plus history of ≥ 2 exacerbations or ≥
1 hospitalization in last year.
• Randomized 2:1 omalizumab: placebo for
52 weeks, steroid stable first 24 weeks.
• Exacerbation defined as doubling dose
ICS or oral CS ≥ 3 days.

Omalizumab Safety:
Anaphylaxis
• A joint task force of the AAAAI and
ACAAI reviewed all post-marketing
reports to the FDA from 1 June 2003 to
December 31 2005.
• 35 patients experienced 41 episodes of
anaphylaxis
• This represented 0.09% of patients
receiving omalizumab.

Omalizumab Safety:
Recommendations for Administration
• Patient should sign informed consent.
• Patient should be instructed in administration
of auto-injected epinephrine and carry for 24
hours after each dose of omalizumab
• Patients should remain under observation for
2 hours after the first 3 administrations, then
30 minutes after each subsequent
administration.
