About this study

  1. Background Cetuximab (trade name Erbitux) is a murine-human chimeric monoclonal antibody to human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). This drug has been used as a treatment for colorectal cancer and head and neck cancer. It is known that allergic reactions can occur in more than 5% of the patients, although the side effects are relatively low compared with other chemotherapeutic agents. It is known that cetuximab can induce hypersensitivity even at the first administration, unlike other anticancer drugs. In this study, we aimed to establish a model to predict patients with hypersensitivity reaction before administration of cetuximab and to provide safe chemotherapy.
  2. Recruitment method and consent procedure The study is designed for analysis patients scheduled for administration of cetuximab for the first time. Patients matching the selection and exclusion criteria with voluntary agreement to the study will be enrolled. Enrolled patients will be tested for skin prick test and serum sIgE before cetuximab administration.
Read the detailed description
  • Acquisition of agreement Agreement, explanation, and consent form for study of human derived sample those that approved by the IRB are obtained from patients who prospectively voluntarily participate in the study and provide human derived sample.
  • Observation and evaluation values ① Serum Cetuximab-specific IgE measurement (ImmunoCAP, conventional ELISA) before administration of cetuximab ② Cetuximab Skin test using before cetuximab administration ③ Clinical symptoms after cetuximab administration through chart review (vital signs, occurrence of adverse drug reaction) ④ Check patient's underlying disease and allergy history
  • Statistical analysis method Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Student t-test, Mann-Whitney test, Logistic regression test, Cox's regression test, and ROC curve will be used

What is being measured

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

    Measured: Within 4 weeks after first administration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cetuximab specific IgE

    Cetuximab specific IgE measured by ImmunoCAP assay, ELISA

    Measured: within 4 weeks after first administration

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hypersensitivity reaction after cetuximab administration (time frame: Within 4 weeks after first administration). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03485638, which also lists 7 linked publications.
