Single-cell Immune Response to Controlled Gluten Ingestion in Pediatric Celiac Disease

Studying kids' immune response to gluten in celiac disease trial.

Phase N/A

Celiac disease is a condition where the body's immune system reacts badly to gluten, a protein found in wheat and other grains. This study is about how kids with celiac disease respond when given small amounts of gluten. Kids aged 8-14 years, who have been on a strict gluten-free diet for at least 18 months, can join. They will be split into three groups: one gets a placebo (a pill with no gluten), another gets 50 mg of gluten, and the last gets 5 g. They take this once daily for three days. Blood, stool, and urine samples will be collected before and after the gluten intake to see how their immune systems react. The study uses special tools like RNA sequencing (a way to see which genes are active) to look at immune cells. This helps researchers understand if even tiny amounts of gluten can cause a reaction.

  • The study lasts for about 8 days with two visits for sample collection.
  • Participants must be on a gluten-free diet and have no severe reactions to gluten.
  • No direct treatment is involved, but the study helps in understanding immune responses.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
