Serum Interleukin -21 Level in Patients With Severe Adverse Cutaneous Drug Reaction.

May 23, 2017 updated by: MAHanna, Assiut University

Serum Interleukin -21 Level in Patients With Severe Adverse Cutaneous Drug Reaction and Correlation With Disease Severity.

Adverse cutaneous drug reactions are undesirable and typically unanticipated reactions independent of the intended therapeutic purpose of a medication. It may be either immunologic (eg, drug allergy) or non-immunologic. Adverse cutaneous drug reaction produce a wide range of clinical manifestations such as pruritus, maculopapular eruptions, urticaria, angioedema, phototoxic and photo allergic reactions, fixed drug reactions, erythema multiforme,vesiculobullous reactions (eg, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis) and serum sickness .They must be considered in the differential diagnosis of sudden symmetric eruption

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Erythema multiforme is an acute immune mediated disorder It is a type IV hypersensitivity reaction leading to dermal vasculitis. Erythema multiforme major usually as a result of medications such as sulphonamides, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and penicillin and there is skin and mucosal involvement.

Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) are considered a spectrum of acute life-threatening mucocutaneous reactions that differ only in severity. Both diseases are characterized by mucous membrane and skin involvement, are often caused by medications and are collectively known as epidermal necrolysis or scalded skin syndrome.Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is classified as an epidermal loss <10% of the body surface area.Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (TEN) is indicated by >30% body surface area erosion. The range of epidermal loss between 10% and 30% is called Stevens-Johnson syndrome-Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis (SJS-TEN) overlap. Severity of illness score [Score of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis(TEN) ] has been devised to predict prognosis in patients with Epidermal Necrolysis.This scoring system addresses 7 prognostic factors: age, malignancy, heart rate,Body Surface Area involved, serum urea, serum glucose and serum bicarbonate levels.

Interleukin-21 regulates both innate and adaptive immune responses and it is not only has key roles in antitumour and antiviral responses that promote the development of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory disorders. It is recently discovered member of the type 1 cytokine family which is produced by activated clusters of differentiation 4+ T cells ,Natural killer cells and follicular helper T cells.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
30

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Experimental: study group
measure serum interleukin 21 level in patients with severe adverse drug reaction who show change in serum interleukin 21 before and after therapy the following investigation will be done at the begning of the study to patients: Complete Blood Picture Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Random blood sugar Liver function tests Kidney function tests
Diagnostic test: serum interleukin 21
it is cytokine used as a marker to detect it's level in patients with adverse drug reactions
Diagnostic test: Complete Blood Picture
It is a blood sample will taken from patients to detect any abnormalities in blood component at the start of the study
Diagnostic test: Liver function test
It is a blood sample will taken from patients to detect any associated liver disease at the start of the study
Diagnostic test: Random Blood Sugar
measure blood sugar in patients included in the study at the start of the study
Diagnostic test: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate
blood sample will be taken from patients to detect any abnormalities in erythrocyte sedimentation rate at the start of the study
Diagnostic test: Kidney function tests
blood sample will be taken from patients to detect any kidney disease before the start of the study
Placebo Comparator: control group
compare serum interleukin 21 level in patients with severe adverse drug reaction and healthy control subjects
Diagnostic test: serum interleukin 21
it is cytokine used as a marker to detect it's level in patients with adverse drug reactions
