Soy Allergy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Potential Allergenicity of New Soybean Varieties
Food allergy is on the rise within the pediatric population. Having a food allergy can cause
medical, nutritional and psychological issues in those who suffer with it. Although making
the appropriate diagnosis of food allergy is very important, properly diagnosing food allergy
has been a challenge. Skin prick testing and food-specific immunoglobulin-e (IgE) testing of
the blood can give positive results that are false. Currently, Oral Food Challenges are the
best way to diagnose a food allergy. Unfortunately, Oral Food Challenges are time consuming
and may not be readily available to suspected food allergy sufferers. This study is designed
to examine the effectiveness of an allergy-detecting blood test called ImmunoCAP manufactured
by the company, ThermoFisher.
Soybean is one of the eight allergy-inducing foods that are responsible for 90% of all food
allergies. A part of the study is to allow the study Sponsor to use some of the blood sample
collected from you to test if genetically-changed soy has more or less allergy producing
factors. This is important to the Sponsor to test the safety of their genetically modified
soy.
