Blood test could end guesswork in amoxicillin allergy diagnosis

NCT ID NCT06409884

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing a new blood test called the T-cell activation test to see if it can more accurately diagnose amoxicillin allergy. Researchers will compare results from 300 people with suspected allergy and those without. If the test works well, it could replace less reliable skin tests and help people avoid unnecessary antibiotic avoidance.
