Trial summary

This study will assess the effect of gluten on gut barrier function. Investigators at the Mayo Clinic have developed a new gut permeability test using rhamnose (sugar \& water solution), and are hoping to prove its effectiveness in a clinical setting. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 2 to 17 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Study population: The study population will consist of three groups of children, aged 2-17 years. The first group will be children with siblings that have celiac disease, the second group will be children with non-celiac gluten sensitivity and the third group will be healthy children.

High Risk group:

  • Sibling with a confirmed diagnosis of celiac disease
  • No history Celiac disease or any other bowel disease

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity group:

  • Self-diagnosis of gluten sensitivity
  • No history of celiac disease or other bowel disease

Healthy group:

  • Absence of celiac disease or any other bowel disease
  • No sensitivity to gluten

About this study

Official title: The Role of Gut Permeability in Developing Celiac Disease and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity

This study will assess the effect of gluten on gut barrier function. Investigators at the Mayo Clinic have developed a new gut permeability test using rhamnose (sugar \& water solution), and are hoping to prove its effectiveness in a clinical setting.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study is to assess effect of gluten on the gut barrier function in patients at high risk for celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) patients. This study will assess the gut permeability in three groups of patients 1) children who are at high risk for developing celiac disease (CD) (siblings of patients with celiac disease), 2) Children who are self-diagnosed with NCGS and 3) control group of patients matched for age and gender. Patients will undergo celiac serologic and genetic testing, after which the rhamnose test will be performed to assess the presence of increased gut permeability.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Celiac Disease, run by Mayo Clinic 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?

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 15 Aug 2018. 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?

Gut Permeability (time frame: Baseline). 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 15 Aug 2018.
