This is the first study to demonstrate that the level of the urinary prostaglandin D 2 metabolite can be used as a noninvasive biomarker to assess the state of desensitization during oral immunotherapy in children with food allergies.Food allergy (FA) is an increasingly prevalent global health problem. 1 Previously, the only management for FA was the avoidance of food allergens. However, oral immunotherapy (OIT) has become increasingly popular as a potential treatment option for FA. 2, 3 Recently, a product for peanut OIT, Palforzia (Aimmune Therapeutics, Brisbane, Calif), was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for use in children aged 4 to 17 years. OIT involves the continued daily consumption of a progressively escalating dose of food allergen, which can induce a state of desensitization or tolerance in patients with FA after a maintenance period ranging from months to years. 4 In numerous trials, oral food challenges (OFCs) have been performed at the end of the maintenance period to evaluate the effectiveness of OIT. 4 Reportedly, 21% to 100% of patients acquire desensitization after completing OIT. 4 Although OFCs are necessary to confirm the acquisition of desensitization or tolerance, OFCs may often be accompanied by severe allergic reactions. Therefore, biomarkers capable of monitoring desensitization and OIT efficacy must be identified to ensure that OFCs are performed at appropriate times.
