GlobalData tracks drug-specific phase transition and likelihood of approval scores, in addition to indication benchmarks based off 18 years of historical drug development data. Attributes of the drug, company and its clinical trials play a fundamental role in drug-specific PTSR and likelihood of approval.
Type I Hypersensitivity overview
Type 1 hypersensitivity is a type of allergic reaction that occurs when an individual is exposed to a specific antigen, called an allergen, for the second or subsequent time. This reaction is mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which bind to mast cells and basophils in the tissues and blood. When the allergen cross-links the IgE antibodies on these cells, they release various inflammatory mediators, such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins, that cause vasodilation, smooth muscle contraction, and increased vascular permeability. The symptoms of type 1 hypersensitivity can range from mild (such as sneezing, itching, and hives) to severe (such as bronchoconstriction, hypotension, and anaphylactic shock). The most common allergens that trigger type 1 hypersensitivity are proteins from plants, animals, insects, foods, drugs, and vaccines. The diagnosis of type 1 hypersensitivity is based on clinical history, skin tests, and measurement of serum IgE levels. The treatment of type 1 hypersensitivity includes avoidance of the allergen, administration of antihistamines, corticosteroids, epinephrine, and immunotherapy.
