Skin testing for biologic drug allergies
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial checks if people can safely receive certain biologic drugs without allergic reactions, using skin tests to see how the body reacts. It may help find out if you are allergic to a biologic medicine you have taken before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a tiny device placed directly into skin lymphoma spots to help identify which “candidate” drugs could work. It’s mainly aimed at people with measurable skin involvement from T-cell lymphoma, after they stop certain treatments for a set time.
This trial studies whether a simple blood test can predict how well your immune system will respond to immunotherapy (such as Keytruda or Opdivo). You may qualify if you have lung cancer (NSCLC) or advanced melanoma and are about to start this type of treatment for the first time.
This study looks for clues in your skin and blood that could predict how well you'll respond to treatments for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or lupus. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapy for you.
This study checks how your immune system behaves (through an immune testing process) to see if it can predict how well advanced melanoma will respond to checkpoint inhibitor treatment. It may help doctors choose the right treatment sooner, without guessing.
This study looks at how your body reacts to immunotherapy drugs (like PD-1 or CTLA-4 blockers) when given for the first time. It aims to predict side effects and help make treatment safer.
