Background: Although serological IgE measurements can aid in efficacy assessment of patients with asthma on omalizumab (Xolair [Genentech, Inc., South San Francisco, Calif]; humanized IgG(1) antihuman IgE Fc), its effect on clinically used IgE assay performance is unknown.Objective: This study investigated the hypothesis that IgE:IgG-anti-IgE immune complex formation after omalizumab administration diminishes accuracy and increases variability of IgE assays performed in diagnostic immunology laboratories.Methods: Plasma from 4 atopic adults was incubated with omalizumab (50 or 200 molar excess to IgE) or buffer. Paired specimens were sent masked to 159 clinical laboratories in the College of American Pathologists Diagnostic Allergy Proficiency Survey (cycles SE-C-2003, SE-A-2005). Inhibitory effects produced by omalizumab on accuracy and reproducibility of US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)cleared total and allergen-specific IgE assays were computed by using national proficiency survey data.Results: Total serum IgE levels measured in the 2 ImmunoCAP assays were minimally reduced (2.4-9.0%) by the presence of omalizumab, whereas 5 other assays showed marked reductions from 12.5% to 67.2% (P
