Testing penicillin allergy with one vs. two oral doses
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial compares a single dose versus two doses of a penicillin-like drug to see if people who think they are allergic to penicillin can safely be told they are not allergic. It is for people with a low-risk penicillin allergy who want to find out if they can use these antibiotics in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You think you are allergic to penicillin or a similar antibiotic like amoxicillin.
- Your allergy is considered low-risk (a simple questionnaire will check this).
- You have not had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) in the last year.
- You are not pregnant.
- You can stop taking certain allergy medicines (like Benadryl or Zyrtec) for 3 days before the test.

This trial tests a way to safely remove 'penicillin allergy' from your medical records if you have a low-risk history. The goal is to make allergy testing more efficient and free up healthcare resources.
This study tests if people with a low-risk penicillin allergy can safely have the allergy label removed through a simple risk assessment and testing, without needing a full drug challenge. It aims to help more people get the right antibiotics when needed.
This study compares two ways of evaluating penicillin allergies: one where a nurse works with an allergist, and another where only an allergist does the evaluation. If you have a penicillin allergy on record, this trial may help find out which approach works better.
This trial is testing a new way to diagnose allergies to amoxicillin, a common antibiotic. It may help people who think they might be allergic to amoxicillin find out for sure.
This trial studies a direct oral challenge (giving a small dose of the medicine by mouth) to safely confirm whether children truly have a mild, delayed allergy to certain antibiotics like amoxicillin. It aims to help remove inaccurate allergy labels so kids can use these common antibiotics if needed.
This study tests better ways to diagnose allergies to common cephalosporin antibiotics, like Keflex and Rocephin. By participating, you may learn if you are truly allergic to these medicines and if they are safe for you to take in the future.
