Case Report: Combination of Omalizumab and Dupilumab for Recalcitrant Bullous Pemphigoid

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a blistering autoimmune skin disease. Omalizumab, a monoclonal antibody directed to IgE, showed a beneficial effect in treatment of recalcitrant BP in case series. More recently, dupilumab, an interleukin (IL)-4-receptor alpha antagonist, also showed promising preliminary...

description Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a blistering autoimmune skin disease. Omalizumab, a monoclonal antibody directed to IgE, showed a beneficial effect in treatment of recalcitrant BP in case series. More recently, dupilumab, an interleukin (IL)-4-receptor alpha antagonist, also showed promising preliminary results. We describe a patient with refractory BP who showed a complete response to a combination therapy with omalizumab and dupilumab.
