This is a prospective clinical study enrolling eligible subjects scheduled to receive oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy after signing informed consent forms.
Subjects are randomly assigned to two groups. Group 1 (skin test group) receives an intradermal injection of 0.02 mL oxaliplatin solution (0.01-5.00 mg/mL) before cycles 6-10 (oxaliplatin-naive patients) or cycles 2-6 (patients with recurrence after adjuvant oxaliplatin chemotherapy), with a simultaneous self-negative control (0.02 mL 0.9% normal saline). A total of 1650 person-times will be included. Group 2 (negative control group) includes 50 subjects who receive 0.02 mL 0.9% normal saline intradermally before cycle 6 or 2.
Assessments include:
The negative control group is exclusively used for exploratory biomarker correlation analysis to assess the impact of skin test procedures, and is excluded from primary (sensitivity, specificity) and secondary (predictive values, likelihood ratios, Kappa coefficient) endpoint analyses. Limitations of this exploratory analysis are explicitly stated.
Biomarker correlation analysis uses first skin test baseline data from 50 subjects per group (total 100 randomized cases). Variable block stratified randomization is performed, stratified by oxaliplatin-naive status and presence of comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension, renal insufficiency).
1,055 studies on the registry are indexed under Hypersensitivity; 149 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 380 is above the median of 73 across 691 interventional studies indexed under Hypersensitivity.

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.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
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.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
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.
