Testing to safely remove penicillin allergy labels
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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 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 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.
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 tests a tool to help doctors safely remove a beta-lactam antibiotic allergy (like penicillin) from your medical record. If you are in the hospital and have such an allergy listed, this tool may help you get the right treatment.
This trial checks whether people with blood cancers who think they are allergic to penicillin or related antibiotics can safely take these medicines again. It aims to remove incorrect allergy labels to improve treatment options.
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.
