Advances and Highlights in Allergen Immunotherapy: On the way to sustained clinical and immunologic tolerance

Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is an effective treatment strategy for allergic diseases and has been used for more than 100 years. In recent years, however, the expectations on concepts, conduct, statistical evaluation and reporting have been significantly developed. Products have undergone dose-response and confirmative studies in adults and children to provide evidence for the optimal dosage, safety and efficacy of AIT vaccines using subcutaneous and sublingual delivery pathways in large patient cohorts, ensuring solid conclusions to be drawn from them for the advantage of patients and societies alike.
