Tryptophan to help celiac symptoms improve
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether tryptophan (a natural amino acid) can improve symptoms in people with celiac disease who still have symptoms despite following a gluten-free diet. It may help by supporting an internal body signal pathway researchers believe is impaired in some people with celiac disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have celiac disease confirmed by a past biopsy and blood test (anti-tTG IgA)
- You still have significant celiac-related symptoms after more than 1 year on a gluten-free diet
- You have not taken antibiotics or probiotics in the last 8 weeks

This study tests an experimental medication for adults with celiac disease to see if it can protect against gluten exposure. You will need to follow a gluten-free diet and undergo a short, planned gluten challenge.
This trial tests a new medicine, ZED1227, for people with celiac disease who still have symptoms despite eating gluten-free. The goal is to see if it helps reduce those symptoms.
This study tests a new medicine called HB-2121 used as a diagnostic tool during an upper endoscopy to help improve detection of celiac disease. It's designed for people who are already scheduled for this procedure and may help doctors see the gut damage caused by celiac more clearly.
This study tests whether omega-3 fatty acids (a type of fish oil supplement) can reduce inflammation and improve gut health in people newly diagnosed with celiac disease. Participants will follow a gluten-free diet while taking the supplement to see if it helps their body heal.
This trial compares different forms of gluten to see which one causes the strongest immune reaction in people with celiac disease. It may help doctors choose the best way to test gluten sensitivity in the future.
This study helps people newly diagnosed with celiac disease learn to use a gluten-detection device and get education to better manage their diet and health.
