2016 VAM: 2809 - Novel Biologicals for Asthma and Allergic Rhinosinusitis

This session will aim to inform about two major therapeutic strategies, namely biologicals and allergen-speciffic immunothrapy for asthma and allergic rhinits and their mechanisms of action.  Allergen-specific immunotherapy, aims to induce specific immune tolerance and has a long-term disease-modifying effect.  The second approach is the use of biological immune response modifiers to decrease pathological immune responses targeting a dominant inflammatory mechanism, such as IgE, IL-5, IL-13.
