Check Eligibility →Description
This is a multisite, randomized, double-blind, controlled cross-over trial with detailed characterization of participants with varying clinical sub-phenotypes of Alpha-gal Syndrome (AGS) who are then evaluated by oral food challenges with alpha-gal Knock Out (KO) pork versus Wild Type (WT) pork. Each participant will serve as their own control and ingest both alpha-gal-KO and WT pork on different days, with a minimum of an 8-day washout period between oral food challenges. The primary objective is to determine whether the odds of positive challenges among participants with suspected alpha-gal syndrome are lower with alpha-gal Knock Out (KO) pork as compared to Wild Type (WT) pork during Double Blind Food Challenge (DBFC)

DBFC with 150g of Alpha-gal Knock Out (KO) pork
