Trial summary

Beta-lactam antibiotics include penicillin and cephalosporins and are among the most prescribed antibiotics. This category of drugs is the most involved in immediate allergic manifestations with 2% reactions in treated subjects and a fatal outcome in 1/50000 treatments. Read more about this study

About this study

Beta-lactam antibiotics include penicillin and cephalosporins and are among the most prescribed antibiotics. This category of drugs is the most involved in immediate allergic manifestations with 2% reactions in treated subjects and a fatal outcome in 1/50000 treatments. Reactions are IgE-mediated and have a considerable but unknown genetic origin, revealed by studies in groups of different ethnical origins in the same geographical region. There are also some families with a high frequency of allergic reactions without identified Mendelian inheritance.

The purpose of this study is to identify predictive risk factors associated to immediate allergic reactions against beta-lactam antibiotics with a pangenomic approach.

A secondary purpose is to identify rare predictive factors with homozygosity mapping and exome sequencing in various families with high risk of allergy to beta-lactam antibiotics.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysis of genetic polymorphisms predictive of risk of beta-lactam immediate allergy

    Common (>10%) or rare (1-10%) genetic polymorphisms in patients with beta-lactam immediate allergy

    Measured: day 0

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Analysis of allelic homozygosity linked to allergen response, in more than 2 allergic individuals of the same family

    Allelic homozygosity in one or more regions of genome with one or more genes involved in allergen response, in more than 2 individuals affected by beta-lactam allergy in the same family

    Measured: day 0

  2. Severity of allergic reaction

    evaluated during clinical examination

    Measured: day 0

  3. Reactivity to skin test

    Measured: day 0

  4. Serum concentration of specific IgE

    Measured: day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Beta-Lactams Allergy and Hypersensitivity, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, 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 3 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2017. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Analysis of genetic polymorphisms predictive of risk of beta-lactam immediate allergy (time frame: day 0). 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 3 Feb 2017.
