About this study

Official title: Oral Beta-lactam Drug Reintroduction Protocol, Without Previous Skin Tests, in Children Under 16 Years of Age With a Clinical History That is Not Suggestive of Immunoglobulin E (IgE)-Mediated Anaphylaxis or Toxidermia to Beta-lactams.

The purpose of this study is to establish the rationale for the practice of performing an oral reintroduction test without previous skin tests in children at low risk of IgE-mediated reaction or drug-induced toxidermia, and to confirm the criteria for a drug reintroduction test could be performed without previous skin tests, without subsequent risk of reaction for the child. The primary endpoint will be the risk of a severe IgE-mediated or delayed hypersensitivity reaction in children who received beta-lactam drug reintroduction protocol prior to skin testing.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. low risk of 2% IgE-mediated or severe delayed hypersensitivity reactions following an oral beta-lactam drug reintroduction

    Demonstrate a low risk of 2% IgE-mediated or severe delayed hypersensitivity reactions following an oral beta-lactam drug reintroduction, without previous skin tests, in children selected by a questionnaire as being at low risk of IgE-mediated or delayed

    Measured: At the end of the study, after 2 years.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Risk evaluation

    Evaluate a risk of IgE-mediated or delayed non-severe hypersensitivity reactions.

    Measured: At the end of the study, after 2 years.

  2. explain the occurrence of a reaction of IgE-mediated or delayed hypersensitivity

    If an IgE-mediated or delayed hypersensitivity reaction (s), severe or not, occurs during the oral beta-lactam drug reintroductions, analyze all the information collected in the inclusion questionnaire (s) of the patient (s) concerned, in order to find the element (s) most likely to explain the occurrence of a reaction of IgE-mediated or delayed hypersensitivity despite initial selection of patients at low risk of reaction.

    Measured: At the end of the study, after 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hypersensitivity and Beta Lactam Adverse Reaction, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

low risk of 2% IgE-mediated or severe delayed hypersensitivity reactions following an oral beta-lactam drug reintroduction (time frame: At the end of the study, after 2 years.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jun 2026.
