Auto-antibody Dosage From Blood Spots for Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes and Celiace Disease

Testing blood spots for auto-antibodies helps diagnose Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease.

Recruiting
2-13 years
All
Phase N/A

Type 1 diabetes is when the body can't make insulin, a hormone that helps sugar enter cells for energy. Celiac disease is when eating gluten (a protein found in wheat) harms the small intestine. Both diseases can have serious effects if not caught early. This study checks for special proteins called autoantibodies in children’s blood. These proteins can show if someone might develop these diseases before they get really sick.

In this study, they will use two ways to find autoantibodies: from a small blood spot on a card and from a blood test (serum). They want to see if these two ways give the same results. This could make it easier and faster to test people, especially kids.

  • Participants are children aged 2-13 years.
  • Parents must give their consent for their child to join.
  • No known risks, and no children will be excluded once consent is given.

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.
