Be the Future of Food Allergy Research: Join the FARE Patient Registry

The FARE Patient Registry marks its first-year anniversary today. We’re celebrating this milestone by encouraging food allergy patients (or their legal representatives) to join the registry’s clinical trial.

The registry is a platform that connects people living with food allergy to researchers looking for solutions. Participants answer survey questions about their experiences with diagnosed food allergy. The registry collects and organizes these patient experiences in a privacy-protected online database. Investigators can then search the de-identified (anonymous) data to find hidden patterns and make new discoveries, while enrolled patients can gain new perspectives on food allergy by viewing the anonymous data shared by registry members.

In only one year’s time, the FARE Patient Registry is already the largest repository of patient-provided food allergy data. Nearly 5,000 patients, ranging in age from infants to senior citizens, have already enrolled in the registry’s demographic study. Future plans to expand the registry include receiving de-identified clinical data from the 30 food allergy centers in the FARE Clinical Network, sharing registry data among FARE Clinical Network research programs, and using the registry to connect patients and researchers for clinical trials.

Any person living anywhere with a diagnosed or well-documented medical history of food allergy can be part of the FARE Patient Registry. The registry’s study includes 190 food allergens and can accommodate any language compatible with Google Translate. As more individuals enroll in the registry study, the data becomes more useful to researchers, helping to characterize the extent of the food allergy problem, including allergies to specific foods, and to define different forms and subtypes of this complex disorder.
