MILWAUKEE, Feb. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Renowned allergist Dr. Robert A. Wood, MD FAAAAI, will present detailed findings from a Phase 3 clinical trial that will have significant impact in the world of food allergy on Sunday, February 25 during a late breaking symposium during the 2024 AAAAI Annual Meeting, in Washington, DC.

The study, Omalizumab as Monotherapy and as Adjunct Therapy to Multi-Allergen Oral Immunotherapy in Food Allergic Children and Adults (OUtMATCH), led to Friday's approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of omalizumab injection for immunoglobulin E-mediated food allergy in certain adults and children one year or older for the reduction of allergic reactions (Type I), including reducing the risk of anaphylaxis, that may occur with accidental exposure to one or more foods.
