Gluten challenge in celiac disease: finding the best gluten type
Part of Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with celiac disease (confirmed by a blood test and a biopsy showing damage to the small intestine).
- You have been strictly eating gluten-free for at least the past 12 months.
- Your blood tests for celiac disease should be normal at the start of the study.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding (and if you are fertile, you must use effective birth control).
- You do not have other serious inflammatory conditions, wheat allergy, or a severe infection, and you are not taking immune-suppressing medications.

This study looks at how the immune system of children with celiac disease responds to a small amount of gluten. It may help researchers understand the disease better and find new ways to monitor it.
This study looks at how the gut lining “tissues” are affected during gluten eating versus avoiding gluten in people with celiac disease. It may help researchers understand what drives healing and tissue damage in celiac disease.
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 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 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.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose celiac disease by looking at your blood test and biopsy results together. It may help create a more personalized diagnosis for people being evaluated for celiac disease.
