Cephalosporin Allergy clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

A cephalosporin allergy is when the body's immune system reacts to a cephalosporin antibiotic. UCSF is studying how skin tests, blood tests, and controlled exposures identify true reactions. Researchers record timing, symptoms, and test results to report accurate diagnoses.

  • Optimizing the Diagnostic Approach to Cephalosporin Allergy Testing

    open to eligible people ages 18-70

    Cephalosporin antibiotics are commonly used but can result in allergic reactions and anaphylaxis. There is no clear diagnostic approach for cephalosporin-allergic patients, and guidance for the use of other antibiotics in allergic patients is based on side chain chemical similarity and limited skin testing evidence. This project includes a clinical trial and mechanistic studies to optimize the approach to cephalosporin allergy and advance future diagnostics.
