N1 - Funding Information: One difficulty in these and associated trials is determining risk because the positive predictive value of many available indices are poor, although negative prediction is very good. 76,257,258 These predictive indices are based on the crudest markers, which is a recurring theme because the respiratory community has failed to utilise modern omics technology to establish predictive biomarkers, although some progress has been achieved recently. 259 The first major initiative in this regard is targeted prevention of allergic sensitisation in high-risk infants by immune tolerance induction using prophylactic allergen-specific sublingual immunotherapy, with the aim of reducing ensuing asthma development by ages 5–6 years. This trial was downgraded to pilot status after recruitment of only 50 children, enabling subsequent collection of safety data only. 260 However, a conceptually identical trial 261 funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which aimed to prevent allergen-specific sensitisation to food allergen by oral administration of tolerogenic doses of allergen, has successfully achieved its primary endpoints. Additionally, a smaller sublingual tolerance induction trial 262 in the UK funded by the Medical Research Council that targeted prevention of sensitisation to aeroallergens has achieved partial success. This approach clearly shows promise and should be systematically followed up. Encouragingly, several such studies are at the planning stage.
