About this study

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the equivalency of the skin test reactivity to penicilloate prepared by our new method of penicilloate preparation versus our old method of penicilloate preparation. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the significance of the different diastereoisomers of penicilloate on skin test reactivity.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the equivalency of the skin test reactivity to penicilloate prepared by our new method of penicilloate preparation versus our old method of penicilloate preparation. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate the significance of the different diastereoisomers of penicilloate on skin test reactivity.

Five (5) adult subjects without a history of penicillin allergy and fifteen (15) adult subjects with a history of penicillin allergy and previous positive penicillin skin test to the minor determinant (penicilloate) and/or major determinant (penicilloyl) will be enrolled into the study. Each subject will be skin tested with our current penicillin skin test which includes penicilloate conducted in the Division of Allergic Diseases will be compared the skin test of our penicilloate prepared by our newer method along with the different diastereoisomers of penicilloic acid on the same day and time. The adult subjects without a history of penicillin allergy will serve as our control.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • penicillin skin testOther

    Prick skin tests will be performed on the volar surface of the forearm with each penicilloate and control reagents. The skin test sites will be examined at 15 minutes. A positive test result is defined as a wheal of 3x3 mm or greater with a surrounding zone of erythema. Patients with negative prick test results to penicillin will undergo intradermal testing.

    Intradermal skin tests will be performed on the volar surface of the forearm. The test reagents will be injected intradermally to produce an initial wheal of 2x2 mm. The skin test sites will be examined at 15 minutes. A positive intradermal test is defined as a wheal of 3x3 mm or greater with a surrounding zone of erythema. In order to ensure patient safety, we will consider using an end point titration technique.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing penicillin skin test in people with Penicillin Allergy, run by Mayo Clinic.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the equivalency of the skin test reactivity to penicilloate prepared by our new method of penicilloate preparation versus our old method of penicilloate preparation. (time frame: immediate). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jan 2016.
