Cutaneous Adverse Reactions toBiologic Agents

morphology resembles plaque psoriasis although erythrodermic, guttate, scalp, and palmoplantar reactions have been described (Fowler et al.
2019). Skin histology revealed an overlap of pso-
riasis and spongiosis features. Most cases resolved with either topical steroids or discon­tinuation of dupilumab.
Eczematous dermatitis has also been reported as a paradoxical reaction with Dupilumab, although these tend to be localised/regional affecting the periocular region, the face and neck (de Wijs et al. 2020). The majority of patients suffering from eczematous dermatitis were being treated for pre-existing atopic dermatitis, although Zhu et al. argued that the onset of facial dermatitis was new and only came on after start­ing dupilumab (Zhu etal. 2019). Some are of the opinion that this facial dermatitis may be a mani­festation of undiagnosed allergic contact derma­titis although larger studies with biopsy and patch test may be required to further dene this subset of patients (de Wijs etal. 2020; Jaros etal. 2020).
Facial erythema (without dermatitis) affects 5–10% of patients, some of them diagnosed as rosacea (Jaros et al. 2020). Alopecia has been reported in 3.8% of the Dutch cohort (Ariëns etal. 2020) and arthralgia in 1.8% of 108 patients in Italy (Fargnoli etal. 2019; FDA 2019a).
lizumab 100mg) vs 3% (placebo) (Agache etal.
2020). Injection site reactions were also a prob-
lem for patients receiving 300mg mepolizumab for the treatment for HES.Six per cent of patients receiving 300mg of mepolizumab experienced hypersensitivity reactions manifested by itch, rashes, ushing, fatigue, hypertension, a warm sensation in the trunk and neck, cold extremities, dyspnoea, and stridor; half of which were on the same day of dosing (Agache etal. 2020; Albers etal. 2019).
Reslizumab and Benralizumab, however, have had cases of anaphylaxis during their phase 3 clinical trials (FitzGerald etal. 2016; Castro etal.
2015). Although the incidence is low, 0.3% and
3% respectively, it has prompted a black box warning advising in-ofce administration and close monitoring thereafter (Agache etal. 2020).
3.6 Anti-IL-6 (Tocilizumab)
Tocilizumab is an IL-6 blocking agent approved for use in rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arteritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and treatment of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell­induced severe or life-threatening cytokine release syndrome.
3.5 Anti-IL-5 (Mepolizumab, Reslizumab, andBenralizumab)
IL5 is essential for the maturation, differentia­tion, and activation of eosinophils. Hence, anti­ IL5 mAbs are used to treat eosinophilic disorders, namely eosinophilic asthma, eosinophilic granu­lomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), and hypere­osinophilic syndrome (HES). Currently, there are three licensed anti-IL5 mAbs: mepolizumab, reslizumab, and benralizumab (Agache et al.
2020).
In their phase 3 clinical trials for patients with eosinophilic asthma, there was no increase in sig­nicant hypersensitivity reactions that were reported compared to placebo, although more injection site reactions were reported, 8% (mepo-
Hypersensitivity Reactions
ISRs have been reported in up to 10% of patients with subcutaneous Tocilizumab, while infusion reactions have been reported in about 7–8% when given intravenously with symptoms including hypertension, headache, rash, urticaria, and pru­ritis (Burmester etal. 2014). These events were not treatment limiting (FDA 2019a).
Hypersensitivity reactions resulting in treat-
ment discontinuation have been reported in 0.1–
0.7% in clinical trials on rheumatoid arthritis. In post-marketing surveillance, these hypersensitiv­ity reactions, including anaphylaxis and death, have occurred in patients treated with a range of doses, with or without concomitant therapies and in patients who received premedication. They have also been reported as early as the rst infu­sion, although most commonly after the third or fourth infusion. As such, it is recommended that

intravenous use should only be infused by a healthcare professional with appropriate medical support to manage anaphylaxis (FDA 2019a).
In addition, few isolated reports of suspected Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) or eosinophilia have emerged (Zuelgaray etal. 2017; Massolino etal.
2018) with one unconrmed case of Stevens-
Johnson syndrome (Villiger etal. 2016) and one case of acute generalised exanthematous pustulo­sis (Izquierdo etal. 2012).
O-Target Inammatory Cutaneous Eruptions
At least eight cases of psoriasiform eruptions have been reported with tocilizumab. Latency was 10days to 84weeks and was independent of underlying disease activity (Hayakawa et al.
2019). In some cases, psoriasiform eruption was
triggered upon withdrawal of tocilizumab, lead­ing authors to suggest that a rebound in IL-6 may result in downstream differentiation of Th17 cells resulting in psoriasis (Saito etal. 2020). However, reports also exist of developing psoriasiform eruptions while on treatment for which the exact mechanisms are unknown (Hayakawa et al.
2019). Of these cases, four required discontinua-
tion while four were successfully continued on treatment with improvement of rash with topical treatment. One patient had dose intensication together with topical steroid therapy with resolu­tion of rash (Hayakawa etal. 2019). Other reports include palmoplantar pustulosis (Sparsa et al.
2014) and interstitial granulomatous dermatitis
(Altemir etal. 2020).
3.7 Interleukin 17 Inhibitors
Approved for use in psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, the three IL-17 inhib­itors available are secukinumab, ixekizumab, and brodalumab.
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Injection site reactions with anti-IL17 agents are most seen with Ixekizumab (13–17%) compared to Secukinumab (0.8–1.3%) and brodalumab
(0.5–1.4%) (Thomaidou and Ramot 2019; Gülsen etal. 2020). Reports of anaphylaxis are rare but have been reported with Secukinumab (FDA
2015). No denite cases of anaphylaxis were
reported in the landmark Ixekizumab trials but were noted in post-marketing surveillance (FDA
2019b). Urticaria was reported in up to 8.8% of
patients in the Japanese Ixekizumab UNCOVER-J substudy (Saeki etal. 2017).
O-Target Inammatory Cutaneous Eruptions
Eczematous eruptions are the most reported para­doxical reaction with the IL-17 inhibitors with a reported incidence of up to 12% in the Phase 3 UNCOVER-J study on ixekizumab and several reports with secukinumab (Murphy etal. 2022). There have yet to be reports of eczematous erup­tions due to brodalumab which is the latest to be approved (Murphy etal. 2022). These eczema­tous eruptions usually occur within 4months of treatment with morphologies such as atopic der­matitis, eyelid dermatitis, and pompholyx reported. About half of reported cases required treatment discontinuation (Murphy etal. 2022).
As eczema is regarded as a Th2-mediated dis­ease, proposed mechanisms include the compen­satory increase in the Th2 pathway due to downregulation of the Th1/Th17 pathway from IL-17 inhibition (Eyerich etal. 2011).
At least 15 reports of paradoxical psoriasi­form eruptions due to IL-17 inhibitors have been reported (Murphy etal. 2022) with reported mor­phologies including pustular psoriasis and ares of pre-existing psoriasis (Dogra et al. 2019). Psoriasiform paradoxical reactions in the form of palmoplantar pustulosis have also been reported in three patients on brodalumab, all of them after switching from secukinumab due to loss of thera­peutic efcacy. It was hypothesised that patients losing responsiveness to the therapeutic neutrali­sation of IL17A may become prone to paradoxi­cal activation of neutrophils under IL-17RA inhibition by brodalumab (Iznardo and Puig
2020).
Other less frequently reported cutaneous reac­tions with IL-17 inhibitors include sarcoidosis­like granulomatous reactions, alopecia areata,

pyoderma gangrenosum, lichenoid eruptions, Bechet’s syndrome, hidradenitis suppurativa, granuloma annulare, lupus-like, vitiligo, ery­thema multiforme, bullous pemphigoid, and pemphigus (Murphy etal. 2022).
3.8 Anti IL12/23 Inhibitor (Ustekinumab)
Ustekinumab inhibits the p40 subunit of IL-12 and IL-23 and is approved for use for psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and inammatory bowel disease.
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Injection site reactions are reported in about 1–3% of patients on ustekinumab (Thomaidou and Ramot 2019; Gülsen et al. 2020). Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis and angioedema are rare but have been reported (Ghosh etal. 2019). In a review on ustekinumab safety in psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn’s disease, no serious anaphylactic reactions or serum sickness-like reactions to ustekinumab were observed. However, two patients with Crohn’s disease displayed signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity including throat tightness, short­ness of breath, and ushing after the rst and only subcutaneous dose, while the second patient developed chest discomfort, ushing, urticaria, and fever after initial intravenous administration. These cases prompted a caution in the FDA label regarding the possibility of anaphylaxis. In those cases, symptoms resolved within 1h following oral corticosteroid and antihistamine treatment (Ghosh etal. 2019).
O-Target Inammatory Cutaneous Eruptions
Compared to the anti-TNFs and IL-17 inhibitors, inammatory cutaneous eruptions have been less frequently reported despite over a decade of clin­ical use. These include few of reports of vitiligo, psoriasis, alopecia areata, eczematous eruptions, granulomatous eruptions, bullous pemphigoid, lupus-like reactions and morphoea, with single reports of hidradenitis suppurativa, frontal bros-
ing alopecia, Well’s syndrome, erythema annu­lare centrifugum, and linear IgA bullous dermatosis (Murphy etal. 2022).
Interestingly, ustekinumab has been reported to be an effective treatment for anti-TNF-related psoriasiform reactions with a response rate of 75–100% (Tillack et al. 2014; Mazloom et al.
2020).
3.9 Anti-IL23 Inhibitor
(Guselkumab)
As a relatively new biologic, reports on cutane­ous adverse reactions to Guselkumab are cur­rently lacking with two reports of an eczematous eruptions (Truong etal. 2019; Reyn etal. 2019). It has been postulated that inhibition of TNFα can lead to an unopposed increase in IFN-a by plasmacytoid dendritic cells, resulting in psoriasiform- eczematous skin lesions. As IL-23 induces upregulation of TNF-a through TH17 cells, it has been suggested that guselkumab may partially act as a TNFα inhibitor, resulting in increased IFN-a production and an eczematous skin reaction in predisposed individuals (Reyn etal. 2019).
3.10 Anti-IgE (Omalizumab)
Omalizumab, a recombinant mAb with 95% human protein fused with 5% mouse protein, tar­gets free serum IgE, preventing its binding to basophils and mast cells and with it, downstream release of pro-inammatory mediators. The main mechanism of omalizumab (Agache etal. 2021) is a downregulation of IgE receptors on these cells and rapid reduction of free levels of IgE, thus blunting the allergic response. Omalizumab has been approved for moderate to severe allergic asthma and refractory chronic spontaneous urti­caria (Agache etal. 2020, 2021).
Injection site reactions appear to be the most common adverse reactions, accounting for 45% of reports. Anaphylaxis has been reported in 0.1–
0.2% of patients on omalizumab, occurring early in the treatment, usually within the rst

3 injections (Shankar and Petrov 2013; Cox etal.
2007). The onset of symptoms is typically within
2h of injection. As a result, the FDA has a black box warning (Cox etal. 2007) recommending in­ofce monitoring for 2h for the rst 3doses and 30min for subsequent ones. Delayed onset ana­phylaxis cases have also been reported among asthmatic patients receiving omalizumab with symptoms starting 1-day post-injection (Agache etal. 2021). Patients are recommended to be pro­vided with and taught how to use adrenaline autoinjector. A case-control study (Lieberman etal. 2016) identied prior history of anaphylaxis to drug, food, or idiopathic increased subsequent risk of anaphylaxis association with omalizumab use (OR 8.1; 95% CI, 2.7 to 24.3).
In some cases, skin tests (skin prick and intra­dermal tests) are positive suggestive of an IgE­mediated hypersensitivity reaction. Desensitisation with omalizumab has been reported (Owens and Petrov 2012). Some authors have proposed that the hypersensitivity reactions may not be due to active drug itself but due to additives such as polysorbate used to enhance drug solubility (Bergmann et al. 2020; Perino et al. 2018). Others have suggested that these reactions could be a result of IgG antibodies against omalizumab (Balbino et al. 2020). However, a post-marketing surveillance study did not show any correlation between anaphylaxis or skin test reactivity to the presence of IgE antibody to Omalizumab (Shankar and Petrov 2013).
4 Management
ofHypersensitivity
(Resuscitation Council 2008). Corticosteroids (Choo et al. 2013) and antihistamines (H1 and H2) (Sheikh et al. 2007), although helpful as adjuncts, should not substitute the prompt admin­istration of adrenaline (Shaker etal. 2020). The patient should be positioned supine with their lower limbs elevated. Large bore intravenous access should be obtained, and isotonic crystal­loid administered if hypotension or shock occurs. Supplemental oxygen should be given to patients with respiratory distress. Serum tryptase levels measured within 30–120min of the anaphylactic reactions, if elevated, carry a high positive pre­dictive value (Buka etal. 2017).
hypersensitivity reactions with the following medications (Picard and Galvão 2017):
1. Acetylsalicylic acid can be used for ushing.
2. Meperidine for chills and/or rigors.
3. Acetaminophen for fever.
4. Salbutamol or montelukast for bronchospasm.
4.2 Local/Injection Site Reactions
Most injection site reactions are mild and do not necessitate treatment discontinuation. Reports also suggest that at least in some patients, the severity of ISRs may improve with continuation of injections and only in severe cases does treat­ment need to be discontinued (Murdaca et al.
2013).

4.3 O-Target Inammatory
Cutaneous Eruptions
Management of off-target inammatory cutane­ous eruptions and paradoxical reactions remains challenging and requires close collaboration with the primary prescribing physician and the derma­tologist. Several treatment algorithms have been proposed, particularly for anti-TNF-induced pso­riasis/psoriasiform eruption (Navarro and Daudén
2014; Li et al. 2019; Mazloom et al. 2020).
Factors that need to be considered include, rstly, the severity of the reaction as assessed by body surface area, disease-specic severity scores such as Psoriasis Activity and Severity Index (PASI), dermatological life quality index (DLQI), or involvement of special sites such as palmoplantar pustulosis. Secondly, the control of the underly­ing condition for which the biologic is indicated and thirdly, if there are alternative biologic classes that have been shown to be effective for the underlying condition.
For example, if the psoriasiform reaction is mild and the underlying condition is well con­trolled on the anti-TNF agent then consideration may be given to either continue on (“treat through”) or switch to an alternative anti-TNF agent, bearing in mind that these paradoxical reactions are a class effect. In moderate to severe cases, consideration may be made to switch to a biologic of a different class except in cases where the primary condition is well controlled in condi­tions where anti-TNF therapy is currently pre­ferred, such as in uveitis, and the anti-TNF agent is deemed critical in disease control (Li et al.
2019).
In patients whom a “treat through” strategy is employed, the efcacy of topical therapy alone has been reported to be between 28% and 63.5% in various cohorts (Mazloom et al. 2020). In moderate to severe cases, the addition of tradi­tional systemic agents such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, acitretin, or phototherapy has been reported to be effective in a subset of patients (Li etal. 2019; Mazloom etal. 2020).
Despite this, reports on paradoxical psoriasi­form lesions have suggested that 41–50% of patients required treatment discontinuation.
Discontinuation resulted in psoriasis resolution (47.7%) more often than switching to another anti-TNF agent (36.7%), or continuing (32.9%) TNF-alpha therapy (Brown etal. 2017), support­ing the consideration of switching biologic class in moderate to severe paradoxical reactions where alternatives are available. Furthermore, rechallenge with an anti-TNF agent has been associated with a 50% recurrence rate of para­doxical psoriasis (Mazloom etal. 2020). Several studies have shown benet in switching to other non-TNF biologics. Reports have shown promis­ing results with the use of ustekinumab in the management of paradoxical psoriasis due to anti­TNFs with response rates up to 75–100% (Tillack etal. 2014; Mazloom etal. 2020).
While most patients experience resolution of paradoxical psoriasiform eruptions, up to 46% of patients may experience improvement but incom­plete resolution of psoriasis despite discontinua­tion. Those with more severe reactions such as generalised pustular psoriasis may also be more likely to have persistent disease despite discon­tinuation with only 27.3% experiencing resolu­tion in the systematic review by Brown et al. (2017). Thus, it is important to counsel patients regarding the possibility of persistent skin disease.
4.4 Diagnostic Evaluation
ofHypersensitivity Reactions
The rst question to address in the diagnostic evaluation of mAbs hypersensitivity reaction, like any drug hypersensitivity reaction, is whether the benet of continuing the mAbs outweighs the risk of harm of testing. If a safe and equally ef­cacious alternative treatment is available, the best solution would be to switch out of the culprit mAb. To date, there is a lack of data on the extent of cross reactivity between mAbs of the same class. Extrapolating from other drugs, one could logically speculate some degree of cross reactiv­ity in mAbs that share similar chemical structures or similar target specicity.
However, if both patient and clinician are keen to pursue diagnostic evaluation of a mAbs hyper-

limited to the skin, e.g. urticaria, angioedema, ushing, pruritus
2 Moderate reactions: symptoms and

sensitivity reaction, then the goal of such evalua­tions is threefold: to determine its main mechanism of action, the severity of the index reaction, and the culprit drug.
The Brown classication system (Brown
2004) has been utilised in grading the severity of
hypersensitivity reactions (see Table2).
Drug causality may be deduced from a detailed clinical history from the patient and/or observers as well as scrutiny of his/her drug chart. In some cases, it is straightforward with only one mAbs administered. In cases where multiple mAbs are given in succession, skin tests may be helpful to identify the culprit agent. However, there are sev­eral limitations to skin tests (Brown etal. 2017) namely:
1. Immediate reading of skin prick and intrader-
mal tests are useful only in type I IgE­mediated reactions.
2. To date, mAbs skin tests are not fully vali-
dated and their sensitivity, specicity, nega­tive and positive predictive values are extrapolated from small cohort studies.
3. Data on non-irritating concentration for skin
tests have not been determined for all mAbs.
4. As small aliquots of mAbs are not available,
the entire dose/vial may need to be used, mak­ing testing prohibitively expensive.

A positive skin test at non-irritating concen­trations of mAbs (see Table3) strongly suggests type I IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reactions (Picard and Galvão 2017). As re-exposure carries the risk of anaphylaxis, it should only be carried out via the process of desensitisation.
For non-IgE-mediated reactions, the method of re-exposure should be based on the severity of the index hypersensitivity reactions (Fouda and Bavbek 2020). Patients with mild (Brown’s class I) reactions may attempt a challenge test with the culprit mAbs. Re-exposure for severe (Brown’s class III) non-IgE-mediated reactions should only be performed via the desensitisation proto­col. In patients with moderate severity reactions, the decision to challenge vs desensitise could be made on a case-by-case basis, considering the risk of provoking a recurrent reaction and its impact on the patient.
4.5 Desensitisation
The best reported desensitisation protocol for mAbs is the 12 steps protocol developed at Brigham and Women’s Hospital (see Table 4) (Brennan etal. 2009; Castells etal. 2008; Isabwe et al. 2017). It should only be performed by

4.6 Challenge
Depending on the symptoms, H1 and H2 antihis­tamines, inhaled beta agonists, intravenous u­ids, montelukast, and corticosteroids could be used. Intramuscular adrenaline should be avail­able on site and used if indicated, although this happens rarely (Brennan etal. 2009).

A short-acting benzodiazepam such as lorazepam can be prescribed to alleviate anxiety associated with desensitisation.
5 Conclusion
The use of mAbs has increased exponentially, covering a myriad of indications. This is likely to continue to grow in the future. While these drugs have given hope to many patients with previously intractable diseases, like all medications, they come with potential adverse reactions which is important for medical practitioners to be aware of and familiar with. While more varied types of mAbs are being discovered with a variety of modes of action, they share certain common characteristics and knowledge of rst principles can help to predict and prepare for potential adverse reactions for improved patient outcomes.
