Trial summary

Children are often reported to have antibiotics allergies, with approximately 10% of the US population labeled as allergic to an antibiotic. Recent studies have demonstrated that a large majority of children with a penicillin allergy label do not have a true IgE-mediated allergy. Read more about this study

About this study

Children are often reported to have antibiotics allergies, with approximately 10% of the US population labeled as allergic to an antibiotic. Recent studies have demonstrated that a large majority of children with a penicillin allergy label do not have a true IgE-mediated allergy. Appropriately delabeling antibiotic allergies has been shown to improve patient care outcomes and lower health care costs. However, efforts to implement these assessments in practice are lacking, particularly in the hospital setting. Therefore, there is a need for hospital-based risk assessment and delabeling strategies for hospitalized children. The investigator's objective is to determine the feasibility of implementing a hospital-based approach to penicillin allergy risk stratification and evaluation of patients at low-risk for true allergy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Penicillin Allergy, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 30 Jun 2021. 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 United States. 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?

Feasibility of Intervention Measure (time frame: Within 2 weeks of hospital discharge). 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 NCT04441021, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Jun 2021.
