Trial summary

Allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) is a rare but fatal condition. Previous reports have reported that HLA-B*5801 is an important genetic risk factor significantly associated with the development of allopurinol-induced SCAR. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study to Prove the Usefulness of HLA-B*5801 Screening Test for the Prevention of Allopurinol-induced Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reaction in Patient With Chronic Kidney Disease

Allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) is a rare but fatal condition. Previous reports have reported that HLA-B*5801 is an important genetic risk factor significantly associated with the development of allopurinol-induced SCAR. However, there has been no prospective study to prove the clinical efficacy of a HLA-B*5801 screening before administration of allopurinol in predicting allopurinol-induced SCAR. The purpose of this prospective study is to test our hypothesis that a pre-screening of HLA-B*5801 will significantly reduce the risk of allopurinol-induced SCAR development compared to the historical control.

What is being measured

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

  1. An occurrence of allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction

    # Clinical presentations

    • Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), SJS/Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) overlap and TEN were diagnosed according to the range of detached surface area (< 10 %, 10-30 %, and > 30 %, respectively).
    • Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) was diagnosed with the following criteria; Hospitalization, Reaction suspected to be drug-related Acute rash, Fever >38°C*, Enlarged lymph nodes at a minimum of 2 sites*, Involvement of at least 1 internal organ*, Blood count abnormalities*, Lymphocytes above or below normal limits, Eosinophils above the laboratory limits, Platelets below the laboratory limits [Three out of four asterisked (*) criteria are required for making the diagnosis.]

    Measured: Before 3 months after initiation of allopurinol

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HLA-B*5801 test in people with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Kidney Failure, Chronic, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 8 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

An occurrence of allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction (time frame: Before 3 months after initiation of allopurinol). 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 Feb 2017.
