Improving diagnosis of beta-lactam antibiotic allergy
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose beta-lactam allergies (a common type of antibiotic allergy). It will validate a risk assessment tool and investigate the underlying causes. If you have a suspected beta-lactam allergy, this study could help you learn your true allergy status.

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.
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 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 study tests if an antibiotic allergy evaluation can help improve treatment for people with blood cancers. It aims to safely remove inaccurate penicillin allergy labels, potentially allowing use of better antibiotics.
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 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.
