ALK (AKBLF) announced FDA approval for expanded indication of ODACTRA® to treat house dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis in children ages 5-11 years, extending from the previous 12-65 years age range. The approval stems from a landmark Phase 3 trial involving 1,458 children - the largest pediatric trial of house dust mite allergen immunotherapy to date.
The study demonstrated a 22% relative reduction in total combined rhinitis score versus placebo. ODACTRA is administered as a sublingual tablet, offering a convenient alternative to injection-based treatments. The safety profile aligned with adult/adolescent findings, with mostly mild to moderate adverse events. The most common treatment-related adverse events included oral pruritus, throat irritation, and ear pruritus, with no reported serious adverse events or anaphylaxis cases in the pediatric group.
ALK, a global pharmaceutical company focused on allergy prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, has announced FDA approval for its new AccuTest™ line of allergy skin testing devices. The innovative product range includes:
1. AccuTest-1™: Single skin prick testing device
2. AccuTest-8™ and AccuTest-10™: Multi-head applicators with 8 and 10 heads respectively
3. AccuTest™ 48-well and 60-well allergen trays
These devices feature improved ergonomics, smaller tine lengths and diameters for increased accuracy and patient comfort. The allergen trays have an air-tight locking mechanism and non-slip rubber bottom for stability. A recent study suggests that AccuTest™'s lower device variability may increase result reliability compared to two currently FDA-approved skin prick tests.
ALK announced the FDA approval of ODACTRA, an allergen extract tablet for sublingual use, now indicated for treating house dust mite (HDM)-induced allergic rhinitis in individuals aged 12 to 17, alongside adults aged 18 to 65.

The 28-day MT-18 trial confirmed ODACTRA's safety and efficacy in adolescents, showing a 22% reduction in total combined rhinitis scores. This treatment offers a convenient home-administered option, enhancing allergy management for teenagers.
