Trial summary

Background: ß-lactam (BL) antibiotics represent the main cause of allergic reactions to drugs, inducing both immediate and non-immediate reactions. The diagnosis is well established, usually based upon skin tests and drug provocation tests, but cumbersome. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Designing Predictive Models for Betalactam Allergy Using the Drug Allergy and Hypersensitivity Database®

Background: ß-lactam (BL) antibiotics represent the main cause of allergic reactions to drugs, inducing both immediate and non-immediate reactions. The diagnosis is well established, usually based upon skin tests and drug provocation tests, but cumbersome.

Objectives: To design predictive models for the diagnosis of BL allergy, based on the clinical history of patients with suspicions of allergic reactions to BL.

Methods: The study included a retrospective phase in which records of patients consulting and explored for a suspicion of BL allergy (in the Allergy Unit of the University Hospital of Montpellier between September 1996 and September 2012) where used to construct predictive models; a prospective phase, in which we performed an external validation of the chosen models, in patients with suspicion of BL allergy recruited from 3 allergy centres (Montpellier, Nîmes, Narbonne), between March and November 2013. Data related to clinical history and allergy work-up results were retrieved and analysed. Logistic regression and decision tree method were used to design two models to predict the diagnosis of allergy to BL.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Drug Hypersensitivity, run by University Hospital, Montpellier.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 10 Mar 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?

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?

Provocation test (time frame: 18 months). 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 10 Mar 2017.
