No-biopsy Approach in Celiac Disease: Cut-off Points for IgA Anti-tissue Transglutaminase Assays
The main objective of this multicenter and observational study is to define the optimal threshold of different commercially available IgA anti-transglutaminase (tTG-IgA) antibody assays for celiac disease diagnosis (CD) avoiding the need for an intestinal biopsy. The main questions to be answered are: Is the anti-tTG-IgA titer cut-off above 10 …
A Biospecimen Collection Study to Identify the Targets of Disease-Reactive T Cells in Patients with Autoimmune Disease
The most clinically meaningful way to discover new targets of T cells in autoimmune diseases is to study the tissues of patients with active autoimmune disease mediated organ inflammation. These tissues contain both cytotoxic and helper T cells that are driving their disease, and these T cells are being guided …
Validation of a New Innovative Method for Specific Marker Detection in Celiac Disease
Celiac disease (CD) is a common auto-immune disorder induced by gluten ingestion in genetically susceptible individuals (HLA-DQ2/DQ8). Gluten induces small-bowel villous atrophy and a specific immune response characterized by the production of CD-autoantibodies against transglutaminase 2 (anti-TG2) and endomysium (EMA). In symptomatic patients with positive-serum antibodies and villous atrophy, the …
A Pilot Study in Endoscopic Therapy on Quality of Life and Pain in Chronic Pancreatitis
This study is a prospective study designed to assess the effect of pancreatic endotherapy on quality of life, pain levels, pancreatic exocrine function, and endocrine function.
Pathogenic Study of Adult Immune Enteropathies
The study focuses the mechanisms underlying the loss of intestinal homeostasis in celiac disease, refractory celiac disease and other immune diseases such as monogenic enteropathy, inflammatory bowel diseases or drug induced intestinal diseases. Mechanisms of transformation of lymphocytes leading to onset of lymphomatous complications of immune enteropathies will be investigated. …
Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis (EUS-CPN) for Chronic Pancreatitis
Physicians need a tracking system for specific treatment modalities, and data to determine the impact of endoscopic ultrasound pain management for patients with chronic pancreatitis.
Celiac Disease Genomic Environmental Microbiome and Metabolomic Study
Celiac disease (CD) is a complex disease caused by eating gluten, a protein contained in wheat, rye, and barley. It is well known that many factors contribute to the development of CD, including the genes that you have and the foods that you eat. In the CDGEMM study, we will …
Persistent Villous Atrophy in Celiac Disease Patients Following an Intentionally Strict Gluten-free Diet
Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated disease characterized by small intestinal inflammation from gluten ingestion, a group of proteins present in various cereals, including wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and kamut. CD is the most common chronic gastrointestinal disease and one of the most common autoimmune disorders, estimated to affect 0.4-1.7% …
FGF19 in Obstructive Cholestasis: "Unveil the Signal"
Rationale: Bile salts are potent signalling molecules influencing various metabolic and functional processes. Bile salts exert these functions by activating nuclear (e.g. FXR ) and plasma cell membrane-bound receptors (e.g. TGR5) which are expressed in several tissues (e.g. liver, small intestine, colon, kidney and gallbladder). Bile salts regulate their own …
Microbiota and Pancreatic Cancer Cachexia
This monocentric study aims at evaluating the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation from newly diagnosed cachectic and non-cachectic pancreatic cancer patients, and healthy volunteers on several cachexia-related parameters of germ-free mice.
