A 51-year-old woman had been receiving medical treatment for asthma since she was 21 years old. However, her asthma was poorly controlled despite treatment involving combination inhalation of high-dose corticosteroid and long-actingβ2-aderenergic agonist (LABA) and regularly taking oral steroids. Hearing loss and otorrhea appeared at the age of 44, and she was given a diagnosis of eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) and received medical treatment. In 2007, symptoms of asthma and otitis media deteriorated. In December 2009, omalizumab therapy was started for refractory asthma. After 2 months of omalizumab treatment, not only asthma, but also hearing loss improved. It is suggested that early initiation of omalizumab therapy may inhibit the progression of progressive EOM.

Highlight We consider the safety of live vaccines when used in patients on natalizumab, a long-acting immunosuppressive monoclonal antibody. Based on this drug’s specific mode of action we propose a benefit/risk assessment on a case-by-case basis with individual considerations, rather than a generic contra-indication.

Abstract Background Perinatal HIV-1 continues to occur due to barriers to effective antiretroviral prevention that might be mitigated by long-acting broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (bNAbs). Methods Extended half-life bNAb, VRC01LS, was administered subcutaneously (SC) at 80 mg/dose after birth to HIV-1-exposed, non-breastfed (Cohort 1, n=10) and breastfed (Cohort 2, n=11) infants. Cohort 2 received a second dose (100mg) at 12 weeks. All received antiretroviral prophylaxis. VRC01LS levels were compared to VRC01 levels determined in a prior cohort. Results Local reactions (all Grade <2) occurred in 67% and 20% after Dose 1 and Dose 2, respectively. The weight-banded dose (mean 28.8 mg/kg) of VRC01LS administrated SC achieved a mean +SD plasma level of 222.3 + 71.6 mcg/mL by 24 hours and 44.0 + 11.6 mcg/mL at week 12, prior to Dose 2. The pre-established target of > 50 mcg/mL was attained in 95% and 32% at week 8 and 12, respectively. The terminal half-life was 37-41 days. VRC01LS level after one dose was significantly greater (p=<0.002) than after a VRC01 dose (20mg/kg). No infants acquired HIV-1. Conclusions VRC01LS was well tolerated with pharmacokinetics that support further studies of more potent long-acting bNAbs as adjunct treatment with ARVs to prevent infant HIV-1 transmission.
