Alpha-gal Pork Challenge

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is investigating the hypothesis that alpha-gal is responsible for the gastrointestinal symptoms that occur in some alpha-gal syndrome subjects following the consumption of mammalian meat. This will be tested by comparing symptoms and immune responses in subjects with alpha-gal syndrome following consumption of "wild-type" pork (which contains alpha-gal) versus consumption of a novel pork product which has been genetically modified to lack alpha-gal (GalSafe pork from Revivicor Inc.).
