UNC Food Allergy Registry

The Food Allergy Initiative (FAI) Registry is looking for individuals with one or more food allergies. Patients who have food allergies often search for new treatments or help in research.To make it easy for allergy patients to hear about new research studies, our team has created a call-list for patients, called a registry. Signing up for our Food Allergy Registry does not require you to take part in future studies or affect the care you receive at UNC allergy clinics. It only means you will be informed of future research opportunities; you are welcome to decline at that time.

Medical Device Removing Excess Tissue in Digestive System in Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes on Insulin Therapy

This is a clinical research study opportunity for people with Type 2 Diabetes using long-acting insulin. In this study, we want to learn more about an innovative approach for improving diabetes outcomes using Fractyl Health's Revita System for removing excess tissue from the small intestine. This minimally invasive procedure is believed to improve blood sugar control and overall metabolic health by altering the body's hormonal response to food intake in a similar way to that achieved with bypass surgery. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us!

IgA Nephropathy Microbiome Study

The purpose of this study is to compare diet (record of the foods you eat), gut microbiome (stool sample), and cells (blood sample) in adults with IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) and compare with adults with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and adults with no history of medical problems. The information we learn by doing this study may help us understand how we might be able to target the microbiome to better understand the disease process and potentially help us develop new therapies in the future.
