Overview
Immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions are acute adverse reactions that occur within one hour of drug administration and can result in life-threatening symptoms such as urticaria, angioedema, and anaphylaxis. Current diagnostic methods have high false-negative and false-positive rates, and standardized testing for non-IgE-mediated reactions (e.g., MRGPRX2) is lacking. This creates significant gaps in patient safety and clinical decision-making. The study aims to establish a registry of patients with immediate drug hypersensitivity reactions to analyze clinical characteristics and investigate the underlying mechanisms of IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated reactions. Blood samples will be collected prospectively, using residual serum from routine clinical tests where available, to minimize additional blood draws. Mechanistic analyses will focus on IgE-mediated and non-IgE-mediated pathways, including MRGPRX2 expression in mast cells and basophils, and measurement of active β-tryptase as a biomarker for anaphylaxis. In addition, a retrospective review will be conducted of medical records from the last 10 years to identify causative drugs and classify the underlying mechanisms of hypersensitivity. Based on this, specific target drugs will be selected for further prospective analysis. Data and biospecimens from participants in an existing allergy registry, who consent to secondary use, will also be included in the study. Through the integration of clinical data and multi-layered biomarker analysis, the study aims to improve understanding of immediate drug hypersensitivity mechanisms and develop predictive models. Ultimately, this research will contribute to the establishment of personalized diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies for drug allergies.
