Changes in Intestinal Permeability 4 Hours After Gluten Challenge

Study Purpose

This study evaluates why people with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity develop rapid onset symptoms within hours of gluten exposure. Half of subjects will be given gluten and half will not.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03288831
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

When a person with celiac disease is exposed to gluten, their immune system attacks their bowel and causes abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea. This process takes 24-72 hours to occur. Some people without celiac disease develop similar symptoms when they eat gluten or wheat. Doctors and scientists do not know what causes this sensitivity to gluten. People with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity report symptoms within hours of being exposed to gluten. This study evaluates why this occurs by looking at changes in blood, urine, stool, and the bowel after being given gluten.
