About this trial

The overall goal of the RENEW-IN intervention is to assess the impact of a BL allergy delabeling intervention on antibiotic use and clinical outcomes in patients with a hematologic malignancy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

all patients with a hematologic malignancy (including Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma) admitted to an inpatient oncology service

reported history of a beta-lactam (BL) allergy (i.e., penicillin, cephalosporin, and/or carbapenem)

Disqualifiers

patients with a history of severe cutaneous adverse reaction

patients with a history of Stevens-Johnson syndrome

patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis

patients with a history of drug-induced exfoliative dermatitis

Trial design

    The RENEW-IN intervention includes a detailed assessment of the participant's beta-lactam allergy history and determination of a risk-level for allergy-delabeling.

  • EMR Review

    Other intervention

    Electronic medical record review for comparative analysis
