Better skin testing for iodine contrast dye allergies
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether doing a skin test with a full-strength (undiluted) version of contrast dye makes the test more accurate for people who have had allergic reactions to these dyes. It may help doctors figure out which contrast agent is truly causing your allergy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had an allergic-type reaction to an iodine-based contrast agent (used in imaging tests).
- Your doctor did a skin test to confirm your allergy to the contrast dye.
- You have not objected to the use of your medical data for research
- You were seen in the allergy department between June 2020 and July 2023.

This trial tests a personalized way to calculate contrast dye for CT scans, based on your sex and body measurements. It may improve safety and image quality.
This study tests a digital device that reads the results of skin prick tests for allergies, which might be faster and more accurate than the usual eye-based reading. It could help people with allergies get clearer answers about what triggers their symptoms.
This study looks at whether people who had a first allergic reaction to contrast dye (used in imaging tests like CT scans) remain sensitive to it over time. It may help doctors understand if future allergic reactions are likely.
This trial tests whether a 1-hour premedication plan can safely prevent allergic reactions to CT dye in adults who need an emergency scan. It may help you get faster, safer care if you have a known contrast allergy and are in a life-threatening situation.
This trial tests whether using a lower amount of iodine dye during a chest CT scan can still produce good images. It may help doctors see chest structures clearly while using less iodine for the scan.
This study is building a tool to predict which patients might have leakage of the contrast dye used in scans. It could help prevent complications during imaging procedures.
