Passive Prophylactic Administration with a Single Dose of Anti-Fel d 1 Monoclonal Antibodies REGN1908-1909 in Cat Allergen-induced Allergic Rhinitis: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT: Rationale: Sensitization to Fel d 1 (Felis domesticus allergen 1) contributes to persistent allergic rhinitis and asthma. Existing treatment options for cat allergy, including allergen immunotherapy, are only moderately effective, and allergen immunotherapy has limited use because of safety concerns. Objectives: To explore the relationship among the pharmacokinetic, clinical, and immunological effects of anti-Fel d 1 monoclonal antibodies (REGN1908-1909) in patients after treatment. Methods: Patients received REGN1908-1909 (n = 36) or a placebo (n = 37) in a phase 1b study. Fel d 1-induced basophil and IgE-facilitated allergen binding responses were evaluated at baseline and Days 8, 29, and 85. Cytokine and chemokine concentrations in nasal fluids
