HLA-B*5801 Screening to Prevent Allopurinol-induced Severe Cutaneous Adverse Reaction

Not Applicable
Conditions
Kidney Failure, Chronic
Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
Interventions
Genetic: HLA-B*5801 test
Registration Number
NCT03046914
Lead Sponsor
Seoul National University Hospital
Brief Summary

Allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) is a rare but fatal condition. Previous reports have reported that HLA-B\*5801 is an important genetic risk factor significantly associated with the development of allopurinol-induced SCAR. However, there has been no prospective study to prove the clinical efficacy of a HLA-B\*5801 screening before administration of allopurinol in predicting allopurinol-induced SCAR. The purpose of this prospective study is to test our hypothesis that a pre-screening of HLA-B\*5801 will significantly reduce the risk of allopurinol-induced SCAR development compared to the historical control.
