Trial summary

While reported adverse reactions to penicillins are common, most patients with a penicillin allergy label can safely tolerate penicillins, and elective evaluation for penicillin allergy has been recommended. For low-risk patients, direct oral challenge may be an optimal approach as a delabeling strategy. Read more about this study

About this study

While reported adverse reactions to penicillins are common, most patients with a penicillin allergy label can safely tolerate penicillins, and elective evaluation for penicillin allergy has been recommended. For low-risk patients, direct oral challenge may be an optimal approach as a delabeling strategy. However, there is a vast disparity between the number of patients with a penicillin allergy label and practicing allergists in the United States, and implementing outpatient primary care-based delabeling strategies in low-risk patients may increase access to delabeling assessments. However, a recent survey of pediatricians identified perceived barriers to implementing penicillin allergy evaluations into their routine care. Significant gaps in knowledge exist regarding the feasibility of this approach involving risk stratification evaluation of reported penicillin adverse reactions and direct amoxicillin challenge procedures in low-risk patients in the pediatric primary care setting. With this, the primary aim of this study is to evaluate the number of patients for which risk-stratification and direct amoxicillin challenge are successfully completed in an outpatient pediatric primary care clinic.

What is being measured

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

  1. Subjects Who Complete Risk-stratification of Penicillin Allergy in the Pediatric Primary Care Setting

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Subjects Stratified as Low-risk With a Negative Immediate Amoxicillin Challenge in the Pediatric Primary Care Setting

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Penicillin Allergy Labeling in Subjects With Negative Amoxicillin Challenge

    Subjects who have a penicillin allergy label added back to their electronic health record at 10-14 months after amoxicillin challenge.

    Measured: 10-14 months after amoxicillin challenge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Amoxicillin in people with Penicillin Allergy and Penicillin Reaction, run by University of Texas Southwestern 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 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 14 Aug 2024. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Aug 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Subjects Who Complete Risk-stratification of Penicillin Allergy in the Pediatric Primary Care Setting (time frame: Day 1). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05010304, 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 14 Aug 2024.
