Safety and Tolerability Study of AT1001 in Celiac Disease Subjects

 

Purpose:  There are no therapeutic products on the market for celiac disease today. Current treatment is limited to gluten free foods and a gluten-free diet.  The main purpose of this study is to test how safe, efficacious and tolerable the study drug AT1001 is in subjects with diagnosed celiac disease.

 

A second purpose is to study how your body responds to the drug when you injest gluten. This response is determined by testing your urine, and by capturing your daily and weekly gastrointestinal symptoms associated with celiac disease.

Can a Very High Result From a Screening Test for Celiac Disease Be Used to Diagnose Celiac Disease?

 

Purpose:  This study is to see if a high response to the TTG screening best for celiac disease is as accurate as the current method of diagnosing celiac disease which entails a general anesthetic and upper endoscopy to obtain biopsies of the small intestine. If the screening blood test is highly accurate, then some patients that are being evaluated for celiac disease may not require an upper GI endoscopy and can be treated more quickly. If they respond to the therapy then they will be deemed to have celiac disease.
