A cursory look at the literature [1] shows five confirmed recent cases of PEG allergy. PEG is used all over the place: taken internally in several OTC laxatives, applied externally in cosmetics and personal lubricant, vaporized and inhaled in electronic cigarettes, and as a solvent in many industrial processes. If PEG allergies were a serious concern, it would have risen about the noise floor a long time ago since it causes an acute reaction. It's definitely not worth stopping clinical trials for five total confirmed cases in the medical literature, especially if those trials target a global emergency like COVID. For comparison: you'd get at least five confirmed cases of peanut allergies just by spraying down a single decent sized elementary school with peanut dust.
