Trial summary

The main objective of this study is to validate the utility of IgE anti-cetuximab in the treatment strategy to identify patients at risk for a severe allergic reaction to cetuximab (grade 3 or 4 of the classification of NCI) and thus reduce the incidence of severe reactions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Validate the utility of an IgE anti-cetuximab test in the treatment strategy

    We hypothesize that a positive specific IgE assay predicts the occurrence of an allergic reaction during the first dose of cetuximab. Thus, in population areas where the prevalence of specific IgE positive plasma is higher, the use of alternative therapies in patients with a positive test would reduce the incidence of anaphylactic reactions to cetuximab.

    If the use of specific IgE anti-cetuximab in the treatment strategy is effective, there will be reduction in the incidence of anaphylaxis to cetuximab in the participating centers.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colon Cancer and Head and Neck Cancer, run by Centre Francois Baclesse at 10 sites in France.

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 6 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Validate the utility of an IgE anti-cetuximab test in the treatment strategy (time frame: 3 years). 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 8 Mar 2013.
