NCT ID: NCT05474976 Completed - Clinical trials for Gluten-Free Diet in the Covid-19 Process

Compliance With Gluten-Free Diet and Affecting Factors in Adolescents With Celiac Disease

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Celiac is a chronic autoimmune disease that is treated with a gluten-free diet. Adolescents with celiac disease were affected differently by the restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to determine the compliance with a gluten-free diet during in adolescents with celiac disease during the Covid-19 pandemic and identify the associated factors. The sample of this study consisted of 85 adolescents in the 10-19 age group diagnosed with celiac disease. Research data were collected by online questionnaires (Google Forms) between January and April 2022. Sociodemographic and disease-related data of adolescents who were compliant and those who were non-compliant with a gluten-free diet during the COVID-19 pandemic were compared.

Celiac Disease: Nutrition Education in Primary School

ZELIAKIDE
Start date: June 30, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Celiac disease is a chronic immune-based intestinal pathology. Its prevalence is 1% and its incidence has increased in recent years. This disease usually causes gastrointestinal and/or extraintestinal symptoms, which can only be reduced by following a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet. In addition, the social life of people with celiac disease is impaired due to the impact of the gluten-free diet on daily activities. An adequate Nutrition Education program can improve the physical and social health of these people. Moreover, considering the high impact this disease has on the people close to the celiac patient, and due to the important role that general population has in the care and inclusion of persons with celiac disease, education should be directed to general population. Therefore, the purpose of ZELIAKIDE program is to promote Nutrition Education in general population. In particular, the specific aims are 1) to promote the social inclusion of people with celiac disease by raising awareness among the general population, and 2) to promote a balanced diet and an interest in science and research among children. ZELIAKIDE is an intervention aimed at children and focused on the school environment, and is based on Inquiry Based Learning (IBL) methodology. Inquiry-based Teaching-Learning Sequence (TLS) has been created to internalize and integrate competences related to celiac disease, gluten, gluten-free diet, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. In addition, this TLS aims to develop scientific competence through activities that promote science and the research process. Although nutrition education programs for children have proven to be effective, it has been observed that children's interest in science has decreased. The investigators therefore aim to implement a nutrition education programme based on previous experiences that promotes science skills and stimulates children's interest in science.

NCT ID: NCT05309330 Completed - Celiac Disease Clinical Trials

Virtual Celiac Symptoms Study in Adults and Teenagers

Start date: August 16, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this study is to better understand the symptoms and impacts of celiac disease (CeD). Participants use a smart phone online app to answer daily questionnaires about symptoms and life with CeD for 12 weeks. There are no blood draws, gluten challenges, medications, or doctor visits required.

NCT ID: NCT05227079 Completed - Clinical trials for Helicobacter Pylori Infection

Assessing the Histological Quality of Biopsy Samples Obtained With Multibite Forceps

Start date: May 1, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Biopsies are routinely taken during endoscopy and colonoscopy in order to facilitate histological analysis of various disease processes. The current practice of obtaining biopsies involves taking a maximum of two biopsies at a single time (ie. with a single pass). When investigating certain diseases, such as celiac disease, there is a need to obtain several biopsies (sometimes greater than 6) and the current practice of taking one to two biopsies at a time can lengthen endoscopy time. This study investigates a new approved multiple bite forceps that has the ability to retrieve six biopsies during a single pass which could reduce endoscopy time and improve diagnostic yield. This study will assess the histological quality of multiple biopsies when taken with the multiple bite forceps compared to the standard double bite forceps. This multiple bite forcep is approved for clinical use in Canada.

NCT ID: NCT05186038 Completed - Celiac Disease Clinical Trials

Mass Screening for the Early Detection of Patients With Celiac Disease.

Start date: December 18, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The use of a home rapid test for the detection of both gluten immunogenic peptides (GIP) in urine and immunoglobulin A (IgA) anti tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibodies in blood may contribute to the early detection of volunteers who suffer celiac disease (CD), a highly under-diagnosed disorder. Patients with positive results could inform their doctors in order to accelerate the diagnosis, contribute to symptoms control and improve their quality of life. This observational, cross-sectional study with no interventions applied in subjects consists on a single group of volunteers between 2 and 18 years old. They will be given an informed consent which must be signed by them or their parents/legal guardians, a Celiac Symptoms Index (CSI) questionnaire and the sample collection material required on the testing day. Urine samples will be collected and analysed in situ or alternatively they will be stored and analyzed after at the laboratory. Blood samples will be collected and analyzed in situ the testing day. The main outcome is to determine the prevalence of CD through mass screening within the pediatric and adolescent population in order to provide an early diagnosis and avoid long-term consequences which are suffered by untreated patients. As an international innovation, misdiagnosis (false negatives) because of an insufficient gluten intake are expected to be detected, thus the use of GIP detection in urine will confirm gluten ingestion at the diagnosis. Volunteers with a confirmed diagnosis of CD could be monitored by their doctors to corroborate whether a gluten-free diet improves their quality of life.

NCT ID: NCT05172895 Completed - Celiac Disease Clinical Trials

Characteristics of Anemia in Celiac Disease

Start date: January 1, 2001
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Celiac Disease (CD) is an autoimmune disease involving the mucosa of the small intestine, triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. CD represents a global health problem. The clinical presentation of CD is characterized by a broad spectrum of both intestinal and extraintestinal manifestations, involving one or more organs. Anemia is one of the most common extraintestinal clinical manifestations of CD, present in more than half of adult patients at the time of diagnosis. Anemia in CD has a multifactorial pathogenesis: a) lack of absorption (or, sometimes, loss, as in the case of iron), of some micronutrients, such as iron, folate, vitamin B12, copper and zinc, b) coexistence of a chronic inflammatory state, as in the case of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), c) refractory CD, d) medullary aplasia. The main purpose of this multicentre research is to evaluate, retrospectively, analyzing the clinical and laboratory data of CD patients, the presence, prevalence, severity, and morphological characteristics of anemia, trying to define, when possible, the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms, paying particular attention to the characteristics of menstrual cycles, the iron, folate and vitamin B12 metabolism, any chronic inflammatory state, and thyroid hormones. It will be also recorded, in a subgroup of the selected CD patients, any therapeutic responses (i.e., improvement/regression) of anemia after at least one year of GFD.

NCT ID: NCT05052164 Completed - Quality of Life Clinical Trials

Improvement Of Physical And Physiological Parameters In Menopausal Or Post-Menopausal Celiac Women

Start date: September 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Celiac disease (CD) is an immunological disorder that mainly affects the small intestine, generating an inflammatory process in response to the presence of gluten (a protein). Autoimmune diseases are part of a group of diseases that are difficult to diagnose without a specific protocol or consensus to detect them due to the number of symptoms and diseases with which it has a relationship. The incidence of CD in Spain -according to data from the rest of the European Economic Community, since there is no study on incidence in Spain- is assumed to be approximately 1 per 100 live births. It is more frequent in women, with a 2:1 ratio. The only treatment consists of a STRICT GLUTEN-FREE DIET FOR LIFE. This results in the disappearance of symptoms, normalization of serology and recovery of intestinal villi. Failure to follow the diet can lead to important complications which, especially in adulthood, can manifest themselves in the form of osteopenia, osteoporosis and a high risk of neoplasms in the digestive tract, mainly. The main objective is to achieve a physical and physiological improvement in menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women. The specific objectives will be to know the influence of a dietary-nutritional program combined with physical exercise in menopausal or post-menopausal celiac women on: - Physical condition (strength, endurance, functional autonomy...). - Body composition. - Psychological aspects. - Physiological parameters (heart rate, maximum oxygen consumption, blood analysis...).

SCREENING OF CELIAC DISEASE IN SCHOLAR CHILDREN IN ITALY

Start date: May 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The main aim of the study is to currently define the prevalence of celiac disease (CD) in children aged 5-10 years in 2 Italian cities (Ancona and Verona). The screening protocol is based on a 1st line genetic test (searche of HLA DQ2/DQ8 genotypes) followed by a serological diagnosis (IgA TTG and IgG DGP).

NCT ID: NCT04788797 Completed - Celiac Disease Clinical Trials

AN-PEP on Gluten Exposure in Celiacs

Start date: March 17, 2021
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The AN-PEP, an Aspergillus niger derived endopeptidase, has been developed aiming to produce a complete luminal detoxification of gluten. If AN-PEP is able to produce a complete luminal digestion of gluten in the context of the real life of celiac disease (CeD) patients is unknown. Hypothetically, AN-PEP effect could be detected by the reduction in the excretion of GIP in stool and urine. The objective of this study is to establish the effect of the daily administration of AN-PEP compared to placebo on GIP excretion in an interventional, prospective, randomized, comparative, double-blind study in conditions mimicking the real-life of CeD treated patients. The study consists in a four-week GFD stabilization period followed by a four-week study period with patients randomized to receive active AN-PEP or placebo in a blindly manner.

NCT ID: NCT04643704 Completed - Celiac Disease Clinical Trials

Quality of Life and Eating Disorders in Children With FPIES, Food Allergy or Celiac Disease

QUALIM
Start date: January 5, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Food allergies are associated with a decrease in quality of life. Patients with FPIES often have more food avoidance than necessary. The greater the number of avoided foods, the greater the risk of eating disorders. To date, no study about quality of life or assessment of eating difficulties has been performed in a French-speaking pediatric population with FPIES or celiac disease
