Penicillin Allergy Testing in STD Clinics
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Demonstration project to implement penicillin allergy testing in STD outpatients using a questionnaire and pen allergy testing
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
N/A |
Detailed Description
all subjects receive risk questionnaire For subjects without high risk responses, randomized to direct oral challenge or PCN skin testing followed by oral challenge
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Skin Testing Arm These subjects with reported PCN allergy and reported low risk responses will receive skin testing followed by oral challenge |
Drug: Penicillin Major Determinant (PrePen) Skin Testing
Skin testing followed by oral challenge with amoxicillin 250 mg single dose
Other Names:
Drug: Direct Oral challenge
Direct oral challenge with test dose of amoxicillin 25mg followed by amoxicillin 250mg single dose
|
Active Comparator: Direct Oral Challenge These subjects with reported PCN allergy and low risk responses will bypass skin testing and have direct oral challenge with amoxicillin |
Drug: Direct Oral challenge
Direct oral challenge with test dose of amoxicillin 25mg followed by amoxicillin 250mg single dose
|
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Sensitivity in predicting true allergy as assessed by a questionnaire [Immediately after intervention]
PCN allergy questionnaire developed in consultation with experts and will be scored.
- Safety of direct oral challenge as assessed by a composite score to be designed [Immediately after intervention]
In subjects with low PCN allergy risk, direct oral challenge will be evaluated for safety using a composite score from a number of assessments to be designed.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Patient Acceptability of PCN Testing/Oral Challenge as assessed by a questionnaire [Immediately after intervention]
Brief Questionnaire to subjects on acceptability of PCN allergy testing in the STD clinic setting.
- Change in provider assessment of feasibility of PCN Testing/Oral Challenge as assessed by a questionnaire [Baseline and at the end of study, up to 18 months]
Provider assessment of feasibility of providing PCN testing in the STD clinic setting.
