Novel Biomarkers of Non-IgE Immediate Hypersensitivity Drug Reactions

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate biomarkers of non-IgE-mediated immediate hypersensitivity reactions during infusion of intravenous vancomycin. The main question it aims to answer is: • Identifying novel biomarkers in blood that occur during infusion reaction Participants will: * Have allergy skin testing for vancomycin * Receive an infusion of vancomycin

Post-market Safety Study of LUMISIGHT

This study is a prospective, multi-center, observational post-market safety study evaluating the incidence of anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity reactions associated with LUMISIGHT (pegulicianine) administration in adults with breast cancer undergoing lumpectomy surgery. Participants are indicated to receive LUMISIGHT as part of their breast cancer care. There is no investigational drug associated with this study. LUMISIGHT has a risk of serious hypersensitivity reaction, and this study seeks to further evaluate that risk.

Conventional Prophylactic Oral Dexamethasone vs Short-course IV Dexamethasone in Paclitaxel Hypersensitivity

This study is a single center, prospective, randomized, open-label study aimed at determining the most effective means of preventing hypersensitivity reactions in gynecologic oncology patients receiving paclitaxel infusions. The study will therefore provide clinicians with the best ways of preventing paclitaxel hypersensitivity reactions in their patients during treatment. Subjects will be randomized using the block randomization method into one of these three commonly used treatment methods:(1) Conventional method: oral dexamethasone (20 mg), taking 12 hours and 6 hours prior to paclitaxel infusion and intravenous administration of histamine-1 (H1), and a histamine-2 (H2)receptor antagonists administered 30 minutes prior to paclitaxel infusion. (2) Short-course method: intravenous dexamethasone (20 mg), administered concurrently with H1 and H2 antagonists, 30 minutes prior to paclitaxel infusion. (3) Combined method: oral dexamethasone (20 mg), taking 12 hours prior to treatment in addition to intravenous dexamethasone (20 mg), H1 and H2 receptor antagonists administered 30 minutes prior to paclitaxel infusion. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) would be used to determine if there is any significant difference between the different strategies that are used to pre-medicate patients prior to paclitaxel infusion. P-values of less than 0.05 will be considered statistically significant.

Evaluation of Hypersensitivity Reactions to Silk Fibroin Versus 2-octyl Cyanoacrylate Mesh in Shoulder Surgery

The purpose of this study is to document the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings after open shoulder surgery, to identify differences in clinic utilization for complications related to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings and to collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) related to patient comfort and satisfaction for silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings.
