{"title":"Evaluating Basophil Histamine Content as a Biomarker for Omalizumab Responsiveness in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria","authors":"Ditte Georgina Zhang, Katrine Baumann, Clive Grattan, Per Stahl Skov, Simon Francis Thomsen","doi":"10.1111/cea.70327","DOIUrl":"10.1111/cea.70327","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) exhibit varying treatment needs to achieve disease control with omalizumab, and adjustments to the standard dose of 300 mg every 4 weeks are common [<span>1</span>]. This calls for biomarkers that may aid physicians in tailoring a more personalised treatment approach [<span>2</span>]. Currently, no reliable biomarkers are available for this purpose. The basophil histamine release assay (BHRA) remains the single best biomarker for identifying (autoimmune) type IIb CSU, which tends to respond slower and less effectively to omalizumab treatment compared to (autoallergic) type I CSU [<span>3, 4</span>]. A previous study reported that low intracellular histamine content in basophils is associated with features of type IIb CSU [<span>5</span>]. This study therefore aimed to explore whether intracellular histamine content of basophils could serve as a stronger or complementary novel biomarker for predicting and monitoring treatment response, offering a simpler and less costly alternative to the BHRA.</p><p>A total of 164 adults with CSU who had total cellular blood histamine levels measured were included from the Chronic Urticaria COPenhagen cohort (CU-COP). Details on cohort recruitment and methods for assessing treatment response have been described previously [<span>1</span>]. Informed consent was obtained from all patients and approval was granted by local authorities (Ref. P-2020-318). According to Danish legislation, ethical committee approval was not required. Total cellular blood histamine levels were used to calculate the intracellular histamine content per basophil, as described in detail elsewhere [<span>3</span>]. Continuous variables are presented as medians with interquartile ranges (IQR), and categorical variables as proportions. Correlations between numerical variables were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Group differences were evaluated using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test, with a <i>p</i>-value < 0.05 considered statistically significant. All analyses were performed using <i>R</i> version 4.4.1 and R Studio.</p><p>Clinical characteristics of the study cohort are presented in the repository material. The previously reported association between intracellular histamine content per basophil and features of type IIb CSU was replicated. Among the entire cohort, 106 patients initiated omalizumab treatment, of whom 101 were omalizumab-naïve at baseline. Among these intracellular histamine content per basophil did not differ significantly across patients with fast (within 1 month), delayed (within 3 months) and late/non-response (after 3 months or no response during treatment) to treatment (Figure 1A). Likewise, the intracellular histamine content per basophil did not differ significantly across the overall treatment response groups when comparing patients with good (symptom-free or minor symptoms), partial (insufficient response) and poor response (no response) (Figure","PeriodicalId":10207,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Allergy","volume":"56 9","pages":"1101-1103"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cea.70327","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147764004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Poor clinical outcomes have been reported in asthma amongst ethnic minority groups (EMGs) and reasons are likely to be multifactorial. There is a suggestion that underlying disease may behave differently amongst EMGs, alongside other factors including deprivation, cultural, religious, social, literacy, patient beliefs, healthcare access, treatment adherence, alongside greater burden of multimorbidity. Multimorbidity (presence of ≥ 2 long-term health conditions) in asthma is increasingly known to contribute to greater asthma burden, with differences in multimorbidity burden and patterns seen across ethnicities with a tight association with deprivation. Earlier onset of multimorbidity with relatively reduced survival has been reported amongst EMG patients, particularly those from a deprived background compared to White patients. Data regarding asthma, multimorbidity and ethnicity are scant, but emerging data suggest that multimorbidity is heterogenous, and that ethnic background is associated with variations in asthma outcomes and multimorbidity phenotypes. What is currently lacking is population-based research with a joined-up interrogation of primary care and secondary care databases to determine the prevalence and patterns of T2 and non T2 multimorbidity in asthma amongst EMGs, and analysis of patterns of associations and link to socio-demographic variables and clinical outcomes. Deeper insight into views of EMG patients and their carers regarding lived experiences of asthma and multimorbidity management, as well as those of healthcare professionals is needed, to allow development of culturally tailored resources. These studies are likely to shape a holistic culturally tailored multidimensional and an equitable approach to management of asthma with multimorbidity amongst EMGs.</p>","PeriodicalId":10207,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Allergy","volume":"56 9","pages":"1031-1047"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/cea.70329","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147940044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
