Dermatitis herpetiformis not helped by gluten-free diet
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial studies two groups of people with dermatitis herpetiformis. One group has a rash that still appears even after following a strict gluten-free diet for at least 3 years. The other group responds well to the diet. The study will compare them to learn more and find better ways to help.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have dermatitis herpetiformis (a skin condition linked to gluten).
- You must be following a strict gluten-free diet for at least 3 years.
- Your rash must still be present (not controlled) despite the diet.
- You cannot take part if you are not strictly avoiding gluten.

This study looks at why celiac disease (and a related skin condition called dermatitis herpetiformis) can look different from person to person. It may help researchers understand these “phenotypes” (different patterns) so future care can be better targeted.
This trial studies whether a dietary approach can help people with mild-to-moderate psoriasis. It may be especially focused on people who do not have signs of wheat/gluten-related immune reactions.
This study looks at whether a gluten-free diet can improve symptoms in people who fit certain back-pain patterns and certain wheat/gluten-related gut conditions. It also uses food testing (including wheat challenges) to sort out which people truly respond to wheat.
This study looks at how your immune system responds when you eat gluten, including for people with celiac disease. You may be asked to follow a gluten-free diet first and then safely reintroduce gluten so researchers can measure immune changes.
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 looks at why some adults with celiac disease still have damage to their small intestine even after strictly avoiding gluten. It aims to understand persistent villous atrophy and could help improve long-term care for people like you.
