Comparing nurse-led and allergist-led penicillin allergy testing
Part of Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 a new way to check if you are allergic to the antibiotic teicoplanin using your own blood serum. It aims to help doctors know for sure if you had a severe allergic reaction during a past surgery.
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 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.
