Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

Some people have a severe allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis, after a COVID-19 vaccine. This study checks whether those people can safely receive another dose. Researchers also run allergy tests to find out which vaccine ingredients, such as PEG2000 or PS80, might cause the reactions. The goal is to help doctors decide who can continue vaccination and who should not.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca, or Janssen
What this could lead to
If the approach works, doctors could offer a clear path for people with a history of severe vaccine reactions to complete COVID-19 vaccination safely.
What could go wrong
This is a small study of 117 people, and results may not apply to everyone. Some participants could have another allergic reaction during testing or revaccination.
