BACKGROUND: The safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of hyaluronidase-facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (fSCIG) 10% (dual-vial unit of human immunoglobulin 10% and recombinant human hyaluronidase [rHuPH20]) were assessed in children with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs). METHODS: This phase 4, post-authorization, prospective, interventional, multicenter study (NCT03116347) conducted in the European Economic Area, enrolled patients aged 2 to < 18 years with a documented PID diagnosis who had received immunoglobulin therapy for ≥ 3 months before enrollment. New fSCIG 10% starters underwent fSCIG 10% dose ramp-up for ≤ 6 weeks (epoch 1) before receiving fSCIG 10% for ≤ 3 years (epoch 2); patients pretreated with fSCIG 10% entered epoch 2 directly. The primary outcome was the number and rate (per infusion) of all noninfectious treatment-related serious and severe adverse events (AEs). RESULTS: In total, 42 patients were enrolled and dosed (median [range] age: 11.5 [3-17] years; 81% male; 23 new starters; 19 pretreated). Overall, 49 related noninfectious, treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) were reported in 15 patients; most were mild in severity (87.8%). No treatment-related serious TEAEs were reported. Two TEAEs (infusion site pain and emotional distress) were reported as severe and treatment-related in a single new fSCIG 10% starter. The rate of local TEAEs was lower in pretreated patients (0.1 event/patient-year) versus new starters (1.3 events/patient-year). No patients tested positive for binding anti-rHuPH20 antibodies (titer of ≥ 1:160). CONCLUSIONS: No safety signals were identified, and the incidence of local AEs declined over the duration of fSCIG 10% treatment. This study supports fSCIG 10% long-term safety in children with PIDs. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER (CLINICALTRIALS.GOV): NCT03116347.

Severe asthma represents a true challenge for clinicians from two basic perspectives, i.e.: a rational assessment of the underlying endo/phenotype and the subsequent selection of the best fitted (personalized) and effective treatment. Even though asthma is a heterogeneous disease, in the majority of therapy-compliant patients, it is possible to achieve (almost) complete disease control or even remission through conventional and quite uniform step-based pharmacotherapy, even without phenotyping. However, the absence of deeper assessment of individual patients revealed its handicap to its fullest extent during the first years of the new millennium upon the launch of biological therapeutics for patients with the most severe forms of asthma. The introduction of differentially targeted biologics into clinical practice became a challenge in terms of understanding and recognizing the etiopathogenetic heterogeneity of the asthmatic inflammation, pheno/endotyping, and, consequently, to choose the right biologic for the right patient. The answers to the following three questions should lead to correct identification of the dominant pheno/endotype: Is it really (severe) asthma? Is it eosinophilic asthma? If eosinophilic, is it (predominantly) allergen-driven? The identification of the best achievable and relevant alliance between endotypes and phenotypes ("euphenotypes") should be based not only on the assessment of the actual clinical characteristics and laboratory biomarkers, but more importantly, on the evaluation of their development and changes over time. In the current paper, we present a pragmatic three-step approach to severe asthma diagnosis and management.

Monitoring is a major component of asthma management in children. Regular monitoring allows for diagnosis confirmation, treatment optimization, and natural history review. Numerous factors that may affect disease activity and patient well-being need to be monitored: response and adherence to treatment, disease control, disease progression, comorbidities, quality of life, medication side-effects, allergen and irritant exposures, diet and more. However, the prioritization of such factors and the selection of relevant assessment tools is an unmet need. Furthermore, rapidly developing technologies promise new opportunities for closer, or even "real-time," monitoring between visits. Following an approach that included needs assessment, evidence appraisal, and Delphi consensus, the PeARL Think Tank, in collaboration with major international professional and patient organizations, has developed a set of 24 recommendations on pediatric asthma monitoring, to support healthcare professionals in decision-making and care pathway design.

The traditional healthcare model is focused on diseases (medicine and natural science) and does not acknowledge patients' resources and abilities to be experts in their own lives based on their lived experiences. Improving healthcare safety, quality, and coordination, as well as quality of life, is an important aim in the care of patients with chronic conditions. Person-centered care needs to ensure that people's values and preferences guide clinical decisions. This paper reviews current knowledge to develop (1) digital care pathways for rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity and (2) digitally enabled, person-centered care.1 It combines all relevant research evidence, including the so-called real-world evidence, with the ultimate goal to develop digitally enabled, patient-centered care. The paper includes (1) Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA), a 2-decade journey, (2) Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), the evidence-based model of guidelines in airway diseases, (3) mHealth impact on airway diseases, (4) From guidelines to digital care pathways, (5) Embedding Planetary Health, (6) Novel classification of rhinitis and asthma, (7) Embedding real-life data with population-based studies, (8) The ARIA-EAACI (European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology) strategy for the management of airway diseases using digital biomarkers, (9) Artificial intelligence, (10) The development of digitally enabled, ARIA person-centered care, and (11) The political agenda. The ultimate goal is to propose ARIA 2024 guidelines centered around the patient to make them more applicable and sustainable.
Deficiencia adenozín-deaminázy 2. typu (DADA2) je autoinflamačné ochorenie, ktoré bolo identifikované v roku 2014 ako monogénová príčina systémovej vaskulitídy charakteru polyarteritis nodosa, s prejavom febrilít, livedo racemosa, periférnych nekróz a skorého vzniku cievnych mozgových príhod. Za ostatných 10 rokov sa poznanie o fenotypovom spektre DADA2 značne rozšírilo. 378 prípadov doposiaľ publikovaných v svetovej literatúre radí DADA2 k zriedkavým ochoreniam, ale reprezentujú iba zlomok z celosvetovo odhadovaných 35 000 postihnutých jedincov (odhadovaná prevalencia ~ 1 : 222 000). Predstavujeme kazuistiky prvých 3 slovenských pacientov s geneticky aj laboratórne potvrdeným ochorením DADA2. Ilustrujú 3 krajné fenotypy tejto choroby – inflamatórne-vaskulopatický, imunodeficientný a hematologický, ktoré sa v niektorých charakteristikách prelínajú. Naša skúsenosť potvrdzuje nutnosť interdisciplinárnej starostlivosti a multimodálnej liečby tohto ochorenia. Vzhľadom na veľmi heterogénny klinický obraz je dôležité zvyšovať povedomie o DADA2, keďže aj v našej populácii je možné predpokladať výskyt doposiaľ nediagnostikovaných pacientov.
Deficiency of adenosine deaminase type 2 (DADA2) is an autoinflammatory disease identified in 2014 as a monogenic cause of systemic vasculitis resembling polyarteritis nodosa, with fever, livedo racemosa, peripheral necrosis, and early-onset stroke. Over the past 10 years, the knowledge of the phenotypic spectrum of DADA2 has expanded considerably. With 378 cases published so far in the world literature, DADA2 is considered a rare disease, but known cases represent only a fraction of the estimated 35,000 affected individuals worldwide (estimated prevalence ~ 1:222 000). We present the first 3 Slovak patients with genetically and biochemically confirmed DADA2. They illustrate 3 very distinct phenotypes of this disease - inflammatory-vasculopathic, immunodeficient and haematological that overlap in some characteristics. Our experience confirms the need for interdisciplinary care and multimodal treatment of this disease. Given the very heterogeneous clinical picture, it is important to raise awareness of DADA2, as more undiagnosed patients can be expected in our population.

BACKGROUND: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disease characterised by acute episodes of non-pruritic skin and submucosal swelling caused by increase in vascular permeability. OBJECTIVE: Here we present the first complex analysis of the National HAE Slovakian cohort with the detection of 12 previously un-published genetic variants in SERPING1 gene. METHODS: In patients diagnosed with hereditary angioedema caused by deficiency or dysfunction of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH-HAE) based on clinical manifestation and complement measurements, SERPING1 gene was tested by DNA sequencing (Sanger sequencing/massive parallel sequencing) and/or multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification for detection of large rearrangements. RESULTS: The Slovakian national cohort consisted of 132 living patients with confirmed HAE. We identified 51 index cases (32 families, 19 sporadic patients/112 adults, 20 children). One hundred seventeen patients had HAE caused by deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH-HAE-1) and 15 patients had HAE caused by dysfunction of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH-HAE-2). The prevalence of HAE in Slovakia has recently been calculated to 1:41 280 which is higher than average calculated prevalence. The estimated incidence was 1:1360 000. Molecular-genetic testing of the SERPING1 gene found 22 unique causal variants in 26 index cases, including 12 previously undescribed and unreported. CONCLUSION: The first complex report about epidemiology and genetics of the Slovakian national HAE cohort expands the knowledge of the C1-INH-HAE genetics. Twelve novel causal variants were present in the half of the index cases. A higher percentage of inframe variants comparing to other studies was observed. Heterozygous deletion of exon 3 found in a large C1-INH-HAE-1 family probably causes the dysregulation of the splicing isoforms balance and leads to the decrease of full-length C1-INH level.
