About this trial

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:

1. Skin test results evaluated 15-30 minutes post-injection; a positive result is defined as a wheal ≥5 mm with surrounding erythema 2. Maximum diameter of skin test rash measured 15-30 minutes post-injection 3. Biomarker detection at three time points: pre-initial skin test, 1 hour post-skin test, and 1 hour post-first medication (carboxypeptidase A3, 9α,11β-PGF2, cysteinyl leukotrienes LTC4/LTD4/LTE4, IL-4/5/1β/6/8, TNF-α, MCP-1, mast cell chymase, total tryptase, ΔTryptase, ΔIL-6 peak); pre-skin test assessments include basophil activation rate, total IgE, LDH, lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils 4. Occurrence, onset time, severity (graded per NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0), and classification of oxaliplatin infusion-related hypersensitivity reactions Follow-up continues until cycle 10 (cycle 6 for oxaliplatin re-exposed patients) or the first occurrence of: hypersensitivity reaction, disease progression requiring new anti-tumor therapy, intolerable toxicity, consent withdrawal, loss to follow-up, death, or other protocol-specified termination conditions.

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).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Aged 18 years or older.

Patients scheduled to receive oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy during the study.

Treatment-naive patients to oxaliplatin are eligible. Patients who may resume oxaliplatin treatment after prior adjuvant oxaliplatin chemotherapy can be enrolled as assessed by investigators.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of 0 to 2. Estimated survival time of no less than 3 months.

Disqualifiers

Received systemic steroid therapy exceeding 10 mg prednisone equivalent daily or other immunosuppressants within 21 days prior to enrollment; topical steroids applied to skin test area within 7 days before enrollment; anti-IL-6 monoclonal antibodies such as tocilizumab within 3 months prior to enrollment; anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies such as omalizumab within 6 months prior to enrollment.

Any unresolved toxicity from previous treatment not recovered to Grade 0 or 1 per NCI CTCAE Version 6.0 before enrollment, excluding alopecia and clinically insignificant asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities.

Known hypersensitivity to oxaliplatin or other platinum agents, ingredients and excipients of combined chemotherapeutic drugs.

Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy prior to initial medication.
