6 Management of Chronic Urticaria 6
7 Principles of Step Therapy Begin treatment at step appropriate for patient s level of severity and previous treatment history At each level of the step-approach, medication(s) should be assessed for patient tolerance and efficacy or discontinuation to avoid unnecessary polypharmacy. NOTE: Step-down in treatment is appropriate at any step described, once consistent control of urticaria/ angioedema is achieved 7
8 Step 1 8
9 H1 Antihistamines in CU SUMMARY STATEMENT 76: H1 antagonists are effective in the majority of patients with CU but may not achieve complete control in all patients. (C) SUMMARY STATEMENT 77: Secondgeneration antihistamines are safe and effective therapies in CU and are considered first-line agents. (A) 9
10 Step 2 10
11 Higher Dose H1 Antihistamines SUMMARY STATEMENT 78: Higher doses of second-generation antihistamines may provide more efficacy but data are limited and conflicting for certain agents. (B) 11
12 High Dose Antihistamines in CU Cetirizine: conflicting studies Fexofenadine: no difference between 60 mg, 120 mg and 240 mg twice a day Desloratadine 20 mg > 5 mg in cold urticaria Levocetirizine and desloratadine Higher doses better 12
13 High Dose Antihistamines in CU Staevska M et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2010;125:
14 H2 Antihistamines SUMMARY STATEMENT 80: H-2 antihistamines, taken in combination with first and second-generation H-1 antihistamines, have been reported to be more efficacious compared to H-1 antihistamines alone for the treatment of CU. (A) However, this added efficacy may be related to pharmacologic interactions and increased blood levels of first-generation antihistamines. (B) As these agents are well tolerated, the addition of H2- antagonists may be considered when CU is not optimally controlled with second-generation antihistamine monotherapy.(d) 14
15 Leukotriene receptor antagonists SUMMARY STATEMENT 81: Leukotriene receptor antagonists have been shown in several but not all randomized controlled studies to be efficacious in patients with CU.(A) Leukotriene receptor antagonists are generally well tolerated (A). Leukotriene receptor antagonists may be considered for CU patients with unsatisfactory responses to 2 nd generation antihistamine monotherapy. 15
16 Step 3 16
17 1 st Generation Antihistamines SUMMARY STATEMENT 79: Firstgeneration antihistamines have proven efficacy in the treatment of CU. Efficacy of first-generation antihistamines is similar to second-generation antihistamines but sedation and impairment are greater with first-generation antihistamines, especially with short-term use. (A) Firstgeneration antihistamines may be considered in patients who do not achieve control of their condition with higher dose second-generation antihistamines.(d) 17
18 Hydroxyzine and Doxepin SUMMARY STATEMENT 82: Treatment with hydroxyzine or doxepin may be considered in patients who remain poorly controlled with dose advancement of second-generation antihistamines, and the addition of H2- antihistamines, first-generation H-1 antihistamine at bedtime, and/or antileukotrienes.(d) 18
19 Hydroxyzine and Doxepin Not therapeutically equivalent Which agent to choose? Usually based on which one they haven t tried Doxepin associated with weight gain and likely more sedating Dosing preferences Usually mg qhs as a single dose Increase dose by mg weekly as tolerated Target of mg qhs 19
20 Corticosteroids SUMMARY STATEMENT 83: Systemic corticosteroids are frequently used for refractory CU patients, but no controlled studies have demonstrated efficacy. In some patients, shortterm use (e.g. 1-3 weeks duration) may be required to gain control of their disease until other therapies can achieve control. Because of the risk of adverse effects with systemic corticosteroids, long-term use for treatment of CU patients should be avoided as much as possible. (D) 20
21 Step 4 21
22 Refractory Chronic Urticaria SUMMARY STATEMENT 84: CU patients who are not adequately controlled on maximally tolerated antihistamine therapy (e.g., doxepin at a dose of mg/day) may be considered to have refractory CU. (E) 22
23 Alternative Agents SUMMARY STATEMENT 85: A number of alternative therapies have been studied for the treatment of CU; these therapies merit consideration for patients with refractory CU. (D) 23
24 Rationale for Alternative Agents in Chronic Urticaria While most urticaria is antihistamine responsive, not all patients have adequate control with antihistamine therapy at any dose Glucocorticoids while typically effective, have predictable and nearly universal toxicity for treatment of chronic urticaria Alternative Agents Immunomodulatory Immunosuppressant Other 24
25 J Allergy Clin Immunol: In Practice 2013;1: e1 25
26 Evidence for Alternative Therapies in CU Overall the evidence for most alternative therapies is weak Few agents have well designed randomized placebo-controlled studies Most studies have small number of participants 26

54 Selecting an Alternative Agent SUMMARY STATEMENT 93: Multiple factors are involved in selecting an alternative agent in refractory CU patients including but not limited to the presence of comorbid factors, frequency of treatment-related visits, cost, rapidity of response, adverse effects and patient values and preferences. The potential for harm and burden association with a given alternative agent is extremely important and needs to be weighed against the patient s potential for benefit, current quality of life, and any adverse effects from current therapy for their CU. (D) 54
55 Personal Preferences in Alternative Therapies I typically start with dapsone Hydroxychloroquine, sulfasalazine other similar alternatives In patients demonstrating steroid toxicity, I start with tacrolimus better tolerated than cyclosporine in my experience Omalizumab or mycophenolate used after these agents 55
56 How Long to Treat? Once successful alternative agent found Taper off steroids Taper off other medications I treat with alternative agent until urticaria free for at least 3 months then taper over ~3 months Some patients require long term (years) usage Find lowest dose to control CU 56
57 Why Aren t Alternative Agents Used More? Fear Lack of Training Outside of comfort zone 57
58 58
59 Conclusions On the whole, the quality of evidence for alternative agents is weak and limited Nevertheless despite the absence of high quality evidence, refractory CU patients still merit therapies that can improve their quality of life The potential risk of a given alternative agent needs to be weighed against the patient s current quality of life and any adverse effects from current therapy (e.g. oral corticosteroids) for their CU A logical step wised approach can be used in refractory CU patients to control urticaria and eliminate chronic/frequent steroids 59
