A protocol for pre-treatment testing for antibodies to galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose to mitigate the risk of cetuximab hypersensitivity reactions – a retrospective cohort review

Purpose: Cetuximab improves survival in KRAS wildtype metastatic colorectal cancer. However, high rates of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) limit its use, with HSR rates up to 10–20 %. A major driver of cetuximab HSR is from pre-formed IgE antibody response to galactose-1,3-alpha-galactose (alpha-g...
