Improving celiac disease diagnosis
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at better ways to diagnose celiac disease, a condition where eating gluten damages your small intestine. If you've recently had an endoscopy and a celiac blood test, your information could help improve how doctors diagnose this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have had an upper endoscopy with a biopsy of your small intestine.
- You must have had a celiac blood test (tTG-IgA) within 3 months before or 1 month after your biopsy.
- You must not already be diagnosed with celiac disease.
- You must not be following a gluten-free diet at the time of testing.
- You must not have an IgA deficiency (a type of immune system issue).

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 uses ultrasound and blood tests to check how active celiac disease is, which may help doctors monitor the condition without needing invasive procedures.
This study looks at whether a simple blood test (tTG-IgA) can diagnose celiac disease without needing a biopsy. It includes children and adults who eat gluten and have certain blood test results.
This study collects information from people being checked for celiac disease to better understand the condition and improve diagnosis and treatment.
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 research study examines tissue samples from your small bowel (the part of your digestive system after your stomach) to better understand celiac disease and related conditions. By studying these samples in detail, researchers hope to improve how doctors diagnose and treat small-bowel diseases.
