A Phase 4 interventional study of Dapsone and HLA-B*1301 in Allergic Cutaneous Vasculitis, Urticaria and Psoriasis, sponsored by Shandong Provincial Institute of Dermatology and Venereology. Status unknown at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-03-03.

This Study is to evaluate the utility of prospective HLA-B*1301 screening on the incidence of dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) in 3130 previously Dapsone(DDS)-naive patients. Those patients include allergic cutaneous vasculitis, urticaria, psoriasis, acne, bullous skin diseases, sterile pustulosis, leprosy, pneumocystis pneumonia and any other patients who need dapsone administration. The study has two (co-primary) objectives: i) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a lower incidence of clinically-suspected DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening) and ii) to determine if screening for HLA-B*1301 prior to DDS-containing treatment results in a significantly lower incidence of immunologically-confirmed DHS versus current standard of care (no genetic screening or patch testing). The study consists of up to a 5-day screening period, a randomised observation period (Day 1 through Week 6) and, for subjects experiencing a suspected DHS and a subset of DDS-tolerant subjects, an epicutaneous patch test (EPT) assessment period. Eligible subjects will be randomised to one of two study arms: a Current Standard of Care Arm (no prospective genetic screening: Control) and a Genetic Screening Arm (prospective genetic screening: Case). Subjects identified as HLA-B*1301 positive in the prospective Genetic Screening Arm will not receive dapsone and will be excluded from further study. Subjects who experience suspected DHS during the 6-week observation would be withdrawn from dapsone and undergo EPT patch testing 6 weeks later.
147 studies on the registry are indexed under Urticaria; 19 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 3,130 is above the median of 51 across 104 interventional studies indexed under Urticaria.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Prospective HLA-B\*1301 screen before administrated treatment included dapsone
Drug: Dapsone · Genetic: HLA-B*1301
No HLA-B\*1301 screen before administrated treatment included dapsone
Drug: Dapsone
For the HLA-B\*1301 positive subjects, dapsone will not be administrated.
The prospective genetic screening group will be tested before administrating dapsone
Incidence of clinically-suspected DHS during the 6-week observation period
The primary outcome measure will be the total number of clinically suspected Dapsone induced hypersensitivity syndrome during the 6-week observation period in both the prospective-screening group and control group, as reported by the DHS incidence (DHS patients/ total participants).
Time frame: 6 weeks
Incidence of immunologically-confirmed DHS during the 6-week observation period
The primary outcome measure will be the total number of immunologically confirmed Dapsone induced hypersensitivity syndrome during the 6-week observation period in both the prospective-screening group and control group, as reported by the DHS incidence (DHS patients/ total participants).
Time frame: 6 weeks
