Efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy tablets in dust mite and pollen allergy

Allergy Asthma Proc. 2021 Jan 1;42(1):36-42. doi: 10.2500/aap.2021.42.200109.

Abstract

The latest evidence on the mechanisms, efficacy, and safety of sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) was reviewed. Interleukin (IL) 35 and IL-35-producing regulatory T cells were assessed as new biomarkers for SLIT responsiveness. A detailed analysis of clinical studies, including timothy grass pollen, 5-grass pollen, ragweed, and house-dust mite SLIT tablets, was provided, including a comparative analysis of efficacy and safety of SLIT versus subcutaneous immunotherapy.
