Trial summary

Background: Multiple drug hypersensitivity syndrome (MDH) is defined as confirmed drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) to at least 2 chemically and pharmacologically unrelated drugs. Reports of MDH are scarce and poorly specified and studies which diagnose MDH on the basis of positive allergy tests are lacking. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patient consulting in our allergy unit for a suspicion of drug hypersensitivity and who underwent diagnostic drug allergy testing

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who consulted at our allergy clinic (University Hospital of Montpellier, France)
  • Between September 1996 and February 2018 with a clinical history suggestive of DHR
  • Who completed a tailored drug allergy work-up, (including a drug allergy questionnaire, skin tests (STs) and drug provocation tests (DPTs)) and were diagnosed with MDH.

Who cannot join

  • the DHR was due to a single component contained in 2 different drug formulations
  • in composed drugs;
  • there was possible cross-reactivity between the responsible drugs; (iv) the patient had positive but non standardized nor validated (i.e. possibly irritant)
  • these STs were followed by a negative DPT;
  • DPTs with placebo were positive; (vii) doubtful tests were repeated and eventually considered negative;
  • a single DHR was associated with one or more non-drug related contact allergies;
  • DPTs elicited subjective manifestations (i.e., isolated pruritus, headache, isolated abdominal pain);
  • non-specific histamine release was suspected (e.g., chronic spontaneous - desensitization, rather than a diagnostic work-up was preferred in order to meet the urgent therapeutic needs of individual patients (HIV infected patients, cardiac patients).

About this study

Official title: Multiple Drug Hypersensitivity Syndrome in a Large Database

Background: Multiple drug hypersensitivity syndrome (MDH) is defined as confirmed drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) to at least 2 chemically and pharmacologically unrelated drugs. Reports of MDH are scarce and poorly specified and studies which diagnose MDH on the basis of positive allergy tests are lacking.

Objective: To evaluate retrospectively the frequency and characteristics of MDH patients in a large database.

Methods: All the patients who consulted and were tested in our Allergy Unit between September 1996 and February 2018, with confirmed MDH will be included. Clinical history and allergy work-up results will be extracted from our Drug Allergy and Hypersensitivity Database (DAHD). The frequency of MDH will be calculated, MDH patients will be described, the most frequent associations of DHRs will be identified and analysed.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure retrospectively the frequency of MDH patients in our database.

    The frequency of MDH patients (percentage) in the allergic group of patients will be calculated as the number of MDH patients divided by the number of monoallergic patients (frequency of MDH patients in allergic population)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. To measure retrospectively the frequency of MDH patients in our database

    The frequency of MDH in common population will be calculated by will be calculated as the number of MDH patients divided by the number of patients that underwent diagnostic drug allergy testing within the same time frame (frequency of MDH patients in the whole population

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To describe the MDH population, identify the most frequent associations of DHR

    In this MDH patients population we will : Count the number of female and male patient according to their sex (No unit)

    Measured: 1 day

  2. To describe the MDH population, identify the most frequent associations of DHR

    In this MDH patients population we will : Most frequent associations of DHR (No unit)

    Measured: 1 day

  3. To describe the MDH population, identify the most frequent associations of DHR

    In this MDH patients population we will : Count and classify the different form of DHR according to their severity with the Ring and Messsmer and Regiscar study group scoring. (No unit) (ex: number of patient with grade III anaphylaxis or number of patient with DRESS syndrome )

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Drug Allergy, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 8 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 19 Nov 2019. 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 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?

To measure retrospectively the frequency of MDH patients in our database. (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Nov 2019.
