Active clinical trials for "Celiac Disease"

A safety study of KAN-101 in patients with celiac disease. The study has two parts: Part A - first in human study in which patients receive a single dose of KAN-101 Part B - patients will receive three doses of either KAN-101 or placebo

The goal of this study is to learn whether or not the drug PTG-100 can reduce or prevent inflammatory injury to the small intestine that occurs when people with celiac disease eat food products containing gluten. This is a clinical research study to determine the safety and efficacy of PTG-100 in preventing gluten-induced inflammatory injury to the small intestine in patients with celiac disease. 30 patients will receive either placebo (fake drug) or PTG-100 (real drug) in capsule form twice daily for 42 days. They will also receive a gluten challenge twice daily in the form of a cookie or equivalent. An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and exam including small bowel mucosa biopsy will be performed at the start of the treatment period and again at the end. Blood samples will be routinely taken to evaluate safety and the drug's mechanism of action throughout the study, and symptoms will be recorded using the celiac symptoms index (CSI) survey.

A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2B study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Larazotide Acetate in the treatment of patients with celiac disease who have persistent symptoms despite being on a gluten-free diet.

A phase 2a study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ALV003 to treat celiac disease.

This exploratory study has been designed to determine the effect of the probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis vs. placebo orally administered over a period of 3 weeks on clinical features, Quality of Life parameters (QoL), intestinal permeability and inflammatory markers of patients having positive serological evidences of Celiac Disease.

Oral supplementation with enzymes that can cut gluten has been suggested as a potential treatment modality for coeliac disease. In the present study the investigators wish to determine if co-administration of such an enzyme, a prolyl endoprotease derived from the food grade organism Aspergillis niger (AN-PEP), is capable of detoxifying 8 grams of gluten in a commercial food product.

The purpose of this study is to see if it makes sense to test people for celiac disease who have a first or second degree relative (parent, sibling, child, grandparent, aunt or uncle) with celiac disease. The investigators will check to see what differences there are in the health and quality of life between those who know they have celiac disease and start the gluten free diet and those who do not.

The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict 100% gluten free diet. Little is known about the best way to promote adherence to such a strict diet and how to maximize quality of life at the same time. This pilot will look at the utility of a new innovation to promote gluten free diet adherence - a portable gluten sensor device. Participants will be 30 teenagers and adults with celiac disease recruited from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University in New York City. Before and after the intervention, participants will be asked about their adherence to a gluten free diet, quality of life, symptoms, and feelings of anxiety, and depression. This pilot data will help to inform interventions that the investigators hope to test in a larger NIH-funded trial to better understand the best ways to promote adherence and quality of life in celiac patients.

The aim of the present study is to detect Celiac Disease among suspected patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus who admitted to Assiut University Children's Hospital during one year duration

Celiac disease is a condition in which the small intestine is damaged by gluten, the storage protein of wheat and similar proteins in barley and rye. The disease can cause different symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain and weight loss. The majority of patients respond to a gluten-free diet. However some patients (5-30%) have persistent symptoms and are considered to be poor responders to the diet. Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine accounts for some of the refractory patients. This study seeks to determine if antibiotic therapy with rifaximin relieves the symptoms of patients who are poorly responsive to a gluten-free diet and whether this impacts their breath test results.
