Omalizumab in conjunction with immunotherapy has shown promising results for the
treatment of allergic rhinitis, venom hypersensitivity, and food allergy, especially in the
reduction of adverse events. Larger randomized, placebo-controlled trials are needed to
better understand optimal dosing and duration, cost-–benefit analysis, ideal patients, and
long-term benefits. This combination therapy has the potential to improve treatment,
particularly for high–risk patients.
