Blood spot test for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to check for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease using a tiny drop of blood from a finger prick, instead of a regular blood draw. The goal is to make diagnosis easier and less scary for children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 2 and 13 years old
- Your child either has type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, or neither (children without these conditions also needed)
- You agree to let your child join the study by signing a consent form

This study checks children with celiac disease for early signs of type 1 diabetes. It may help identify risk early so that complications can be prevented.
This study looks at blood cell counts and clotting function in children with type 1 diabetes. It aims to find any changes that might be related to diabetes, which could help with better monitoring and care.
This trial is looking for children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes to study how to detect the condition earlier. It focuses on kids who have already reached the stage where symptoms appear, to improve understanding of the disease.
This study checks for specific blood markers (“islet autoantibodies”) to find children who may be at risk for developing type 1 diabetes later, before symptoms start. It’s mainly for children who have no known diabetes yet.
This study screens children aged 2 to 10 for early signs of type 1 diabetes using a simple blood test. Finding these signs early may help prevent or delay the disease.
This study measures “circulating biomarkers” (blood-based signals) in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and in some people without diabetes who test positive for certain diabetes antibodies. The goal is to understand what these blood signals can tell us about diabetes development and progression.
