What an incredible morning in Antwerp! 🇧🇪 PROSPECTOR-2 Investigator Meeting brought together a global team united by one mission — transforming testing for penicillin allergy. The work continues! #PROSPECTOR#PenicillinDelabeling#AntibioticStewardship
Excited to have hosted a PROSPECTOR-2 Investigator Meeting in Antwerp today! 🌍 Investigators from countries across Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada & Europe came together. Grateful for this incredible team. #DrugAllergy#PenicillinAllergy#ClinicalTrials#PROSPECTOR
Big few weeks with #PENFAST making it to Hollywood 🎥… but this might be even better 👇
The @ProspectorTrial#PROSPECTOR1 Trial led by @Austin_Health and @TheDohertyInst is now published in @NEJMEvidence 🔥

✅ First double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in #drugallergy
✅ Pilot feasibility RCT (n=120)
✅ Single-dose vs 5-day amoxicillin challenge in delayed/unknown #penicillinallergy
It was feasible and safe — and showed a 6.7% increase in immune-mediated reactions in the (multi-dose) arm.
Nice Editorial:

We’re getting closer to answering the question…
Is one dose ever enough? 👀
#PROSPECTOR2 now recruiting (doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2024-094712)
📍 Conducted across multiple centers, the PROSPECTOR trial strengthens the case for standardized protocols in penicillin allergy evaluation. Let’s harmonize care. #AllergyGuidelines#PROSPECTORTrial
🔍 Did you know? PROSPECTOR helps us move beyond assumptions. What is the role of prolonged penicillin drug challenge? #DrugAllergy#EvidenceBasedMedicine
👩⚕️ Clinicians: Should we consider prolonged penicillin challenge for patients with unclear histories? PROSPECTOR will answer this important clinical question #ClinicalImmunology#AllergyToolkit
📊 Multicentre data from PROSPECTOR to follow. Is prolonged penicillin challenge a valuable tool? Improved safety, better outcomes, and fewer false labels. #DrugHypersensitivity#PROSPECTORTrial
💊 1 in 10 patients report penicillin allergy — but most aren't truly allergic. The PROSPECTOR study focuses on the role of extended penicillin evaluation. #AntibioticStewardship#AllergyResearch
🚨 PROSPECTOR trial! What is the role of prolonged penicillin allergy evaluation? Time to rethink how we label drug allergies. #DrugAllergy#Penicillin#PROSPECTORTrial

🚨 New Trial Alert
We’re excited to share the launch of the PROSPECTOR Trial, exploring the safety and diagnostic value of prolonged penicillin challenge in patients with suspected drug allergy.
