Gluten Sensor Device to Promote Gluten Free Diet Adherence and Quality of Life in Patients With Celiac Disease
A study testing Gluten Sensor Dose-Finding Intervention in people with Celiac Disease, run by Columbia University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict 100% gluten free diet. Little is known about the best way to promote adherence to such a strict diet and how to maximize quality of life at the same time. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A Pilot Study to Test the Feasibility and Acceptability of Using a Gluten Sensor Device to Promote Gluten Free Diet Adherence and Quality of Life in Patients With Celiac Disease
The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict 100% gluten free diet. Little is known about the best way to promote adherence to such a strict diet and how to maximize quality of life at the same time.
This pilot will look at the utility of a new innovation to promote gluten free diet adherence - a portable gluten sensor device. Participants will be 30 teenagers and adults with celiac disease recruited from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University in New York City. Before and after the intervention, participants will be asked about their adherence to a gluten free diet, quality of life, symptoms, and feelings of anxiety, and depression. This pilot data will help to inform interventions that the investigators hope to test in a larger NIH-funded trial to better understand the best ways to promote adherence and quality of life in celiac patients.
Read the detailed description
Little is known about the best ways to promote a strict gluten-free diet while maximizing quality of life in teenagers and adults with celiac disease. The aim of the proposed pilot is to assess the acceptability and feasibility of a novel intervention - a portable gluten sensor device. The sample for this pilot will be 30 teenagers and adults with biopsy confirmed celiac disease recruited from the Celiac Center at Columbia University in New York City. Thirty participants will pilot test a portable gluten sensor device with its associated iPhone app for 3 months. At baseline and three-month follow-up, participants will complete measures of gluten free diet adherence, quality of life,symptoms, anxiety, and depression. At post-only, the investigators will collect in-depth data related to the feasibility and acceptability of the gluten sensor, as well as facilitators and barriers related to how, where, and when it was used. At the completion of the proposed pilot study, the investigators hope to have preliminary data to inform development of gluten sensor interventions that the investigators hope to test in a larger NIH-funded randomized controlled trial. These findings, in combination with a larger trial, have the potential for the development of a new standard of care in the management of patients with celiac disease.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Gluten Sensor Dose-Finding InterventionOther
Also called Nima
Nima is a small portable sensor that detects gluten in a small amount of liquid and solid foods in about three minutes. Nima combines an electronic sensor with antibody-based detection in a disposable capsule. Nima displays a "smiley face" if the food or beverage is < 20 ppm or a wheat icon for > 20 ppm (low or high gluten).
Each of the 30 participants will receive a Nima along with 3 months of disposable capsules. At the baseline visit, research staff will provide participants with the Nima and capsules and review instructions on how to properly use the device with all participants.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Light use of Nima | Experimental | Ten participants will be randomized to receive 12 capsules every other month (18 capsules for the 3 months which is considered light use). Receives: Other: Gluten Sensor Dose-Finding Intervention |
| Moderate use of Nima | Experimental | Ten participants will be randomized to receive 12 capsules per month (36 capsules for the 3 months which is considered moderate use). Receives: Other: Gluten Sensor Dose-Finding Intervention |
| Heavy use of Nima | Experimental | Ten participants will be randomized to receive 24 capsules per month (72 capsules for the 3 months which is considered heavy use). Receives: Other: Gluten Sensor Dose-Finding Intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Quality of life measure
A 20-item Celiac Disease-Quality of Life (CD-QOL) survey or 17-item Celiac Disease Pediatric Quality of (CDPQOL) survey. Each of these scales ranges from a minimum of 0 (lowest quality of life) to 100 (highest quality of life).
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Depression
The 21 item Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). This depression scale ranges from 0 (fewer symptoms) to 60 (most symptoms).
Measured: 3 months
Adherence to the gluten-free diet
A 7-item validated CD adherence test (CDAT) survey. Higher scores suggest worse adherence (with scores >13 indicative of poor adherence)
Measured: 3 months
Celiac disease symptoms
Celiac Disease Symptom Diary (CDSD)
Measured: 3 months
Anxiety
21 item Beck Anxiety Inventory. This anxiety index ranges from 20 (lower anxiety) to 100 (greater anxiety).
Measured: 3 months

The current treatment for celiac disease is a strict 100% gluten free diet. Little is known about the best way to promote adherence to such a strict diet and how to maximize quality of life at the same time.
This pilot will look at the utility of a new innovation to promote gluten free diet adherence - a portable gluten sensor device. Participants will be 30 teenagers and adults with celiac disease recruited from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University in New York City. Before and after the intervention, participants will be asked about their adherence to a gluten free diet, quality of life, symptoms, and feelings of anxiety, and depression.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Gluten Sensor Dose-Finding Intervention in people with Celiac Disease, run by Columbia University 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 7 Jan 2020. 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. 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?
Quality of life measure (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03321214, which also lists 12 linked publications.
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 7 Jan 2020.
