About this study

Official title: Drug Hypersensitivity Reactions To Cephalosporins

Background :

Although the hypersensitivity reactions to cephalosporins have been recently a more focused subject, studies on the cephalosporin as an allergen are significantly less frequent that those regarding penicillins. Most of the available data regards cephalosporin sensitization in patients previously allergic to penicillin. Like penicillins, cephalosporins represent one of the most prescribed classes of antibiotics. The diagnosis of cephalosporin hypersensitivity is based mainly on clinical history, skin tests (ST) and drug provocation tests (DPT). This succession of tests, performed in specialized services, allows to eliminate responsibility for the drug in many cases (80-85%). The drug allergy work-up also allows to identify profiles of allergy to cephalosporins, with different patterns of cross-reactivity.

Objective: To analyse the characteristics of patients studied in our Unit for suspicion of cephalosporin hypersensitivity.

Methods: This retrospective study will comprise all the patients who attended the allergy service of the UH of Montpellier from 1997 till 2018 with a clinical history evocative of cephalosporin drug hypersensitivity reaction (DHR), who underwent a drug allergy work up and who gave their consent to be included in the study . The Patients are selected from the Drug Allergy \& Hypersensitivity Database (DAHD).

What is being measured

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

  1. Identify clinical variables associated with allergy to cephalosporins

    Identify clinical variables associated with allergy to cephalosporins

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Determine the risk variables associated with allergy to cephalosporins

    Determine the risk variables associated with allergy to cephalosporins

    Measured: 1 day

  2. To calculate the negative predictive value of cephalosporin DTP

    In the subgroup of patients for whom we have data on readministration of a negatively tested cephalosporin following drug allergy work-up, we will calculate the negative predictive value of cephalosporin DPT.

    Measured: 1 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Drug Hypersensitivity, 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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2020. 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?

Identify clinical variables associated with allergy to cephalosporins (time frame: 1 day). 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 9 Jun 2020.
