About this study

Official title: Randomized Double-Masked Gluten Challenge to Evaluate Markers of Autoimmunity in Patients With Type-1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease After Oral Gluten Challenge

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the immune response causing celiac disease is related to the autoimmune response causing type-1 diabetes.

Read the detailed description

Participants meeting eligibility criteria will have blood collected before and after a three-day oral gluten challenge. This blood will be tested for biomarkers associated with islet autoimmunity and gluten-specific cellular immunity.

Being tested
Gluten Challenge, Sham Challenge
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1, Celiac Disease

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Gluten ChallengeDietary supplement

    Three-day gluten containing dietary challenge.

  • Sham ChallengeDietary supplement

    Three-day sham (gluten free) dietary challenge

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Markers of Autoimmunity

    Blood samples for markers of autoimmunity will be taken before and day 3 post challenge.

    Measured: Baseline and day 3 post challenge

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Gastrointestinal Symptoms

    Gastrointestinal symptoms are recorded in a standardized diary at baseline and for 6 days inclusive of challenge.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Gluten Challenge in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Celiac Disease, run by Joslin Diabetes Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in Markers of Autoimmunity (time frame: Baseline and day 3 post challenge). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Apr 2017.
