Impact of Adverse Event Solicitation on the Safety Profile of SQ House Dust Mite Sublingual Immunotherapy Tablet
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BackgroundIt has been recommended that sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) safety be assessed using solicited adverse event (AE) collection methods.ObjectivesThe objectives of this study were to describe the impact on the safety profile of SQ house dust mite (HDM) SLIT-tablet (12 SQ-HDM dose) when prespecified local application site reactions were solicited versus unsolicited, and discuss ramifications of AE solicitation.MethodsSubjects were randomized to daily 12 SQ-HDM or placebo for up to 52 weeks in 4 double-blinded, multicenter trials. In one trial (NCT01700192; N = 1272), subjects documented daily the presence or absence of 15 World Allergy Organization-defined local application site reactions using a structured questionnaire of closed-ended questions (solicited AEs). Subjects in the other trials were not asked about specific AEs (unsolicited AEs), and AE data were pooled (N = 1287). Analysis was limited to adults aged 18 to 65 years.ResultsWhether AEs were solicited or unsolicited, the most common AEs leading to study discontinuation with 12 SQ-HDM were throat irritation and oral pruritus. Approximately 95% of treatment-related AEs were mild to moderate. Placebo-subtracted frequencies of local application site reactions associated with 12 SQ-HDM were higher when solicited versus unsolicited (ie, throat irritation, 46% vs 13%, respectively; oral pruritus, 47% vs 17%; ear pruritus, 40% vs 4%; mouth swelling, 8% vs 2%; tongue ulceration, 10% vs 0%; mouth ulceration, 7% vs <1%).ConclusionsQualitatively, the safety profile of 12 SQ-HDM was similar when AEs were solicited versus unsolicited; hence, solicitation did not alter the safety profile. Higher observed frequencies of local application site reactions with AE solicitation may be partly due to suggestive reporting bias, as observed in placebo-treated subjects.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
