NCT ID: NCT05894746 Recruiting - Diabetes Clinical Trials

Gfree - For Improved Blood Sugar and Reduced Inflammation.

Start date: May 4, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to reduce inflammation and improve glycemic control in healthy volunteers, parents, as well as children, adolescents and adults with or without diabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: • does a reduction wheat gluten improve glycemic control and/or inflammatory biomarkers • does a reduction in certain amino acids (which is most common in wheat gluten) improve glycemic control and/or inflammatory biomarkers • can we identify individuals with an inflammatory response, which leads to poor glycemic control. Participants will eat gluten-free products as well as similar products containing gluten. They will also eat gluten together with probiotics to see if an effect of gluten can be reduced. Researchers will compare everyone with themselves (cross-over design) and if possible individuals with and without diabetes.

NCT ID: NCT05803408 Recruiting - Celiac Disease Clinical Trials

RCT: Effect of Late vs Early Introduction of Gluten-free Oats on Patients With Newly Diagnosed Celiac Disease.

Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The investigators are conducting a pilot study to investigate the impact of late compared to early introduction of gluten-free oats on gut symptoms, nutrition status, celiac activity and quality of life in patients with a recent diagnosis of celiac disease. Pilot study means that it will recruit a low number of participants to see if it is possible to perform the study, and to estimate how many participants will be needed for the large study. The study will collect information through questionnaires that assess gut symptoms, quality of life, mood changes and dietary patterns. Moreover, the study will collect data on tests done during clinic visits to check the status of patients' celiac markers and nutritional status (such as vitamins and minerals). Physical exam will also take place, and include measurement of weight, BMI and body composition in a 3D scanner. The dietitian will analyze patients' diet at each visit during the study period. Given the lack of evidence on timing of introduction of gluten-free oats for patients with a recent celiac diagnosis, and the potential risks of limiting oats in a gluten-free diet, the results will hopefully lead to better understanding of whether one strategy has a benefit over the other.

NCT ID: NCT05786183 Recruiting - Coeliac Disease Clinical Trials

Rapid Technique for the Detection of Intestinal Anti-transglutaminase Antibodies

Start date: February 15, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Intestinal Celiac Disease (CD)-antibodies have been described as the best marker to reveal progression toward villous atrophy and could become the diagnostic marker to make prompt diagnosis in the wide clinical spectrum of CD reducing the delay in diagnosis and treatment. The introduction of either anti-endomysial antibodies (EMA) assay or rapid anti-Transglutaminase 2 (TG2) test on supernatant of mechanically lysed biopsy samples in the clinical practice would improve the diagnosis of CD, especially in clinically challenging scenarios. The availability of an accurate test for identifying intestinal CD-antibodies that do not need the culture of intestinal biopsy is less expensive, less time consuming and easier to perform would facilitate the implementation of such technology outside research laboratories, and enable the diagnosis of CD at the end of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (GIE).

Zinc Deficiency Treatment in Celiac Disease: Supplementation Versus Diet

Start date: December 8, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Micronutrient deficiencies are common amongst celiac disease (CeD) patients due to consumption of a restrictive and nutritionally unbalanced gluten-free diet (GFD) in addition to slow intestinal villi healing. Preliminary data of 221 patients attending our Celiac Disease Clinic at McMaster University show that 64% of patients on a GFD have nutrient deficiencies with zinc (Zn) deficiency affecting 48% of treated CeD patients. Dietary supplements are prescribed to treat Zn deficiency and it is unclear whether Zn levels can be restored with optimizing Zn in diet. This project will evaluate the the feasibility of dietary therapy to treat Zn deficiency in CeD in comparison to supplementation. Additional objectives of this pilot study, are to assess the efficacy of Zn optimized GFD compared to Zn supplements in 1) normalizing plasma Zn levels and 2) improving CeD gastrointestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms at 3 and 6 month. Subjects will be recruited from McMaster Celiac clinic. This randomized controlled trial aims to recruit 50 CeD participants with two treatment groups; zinc optimized diet (guided by dietitian to achieve target of 11 mg/day for females and 14 mg /day for males) or zinc oral supplementation (25 mg zinc gluconate tablet/day; 7 mg elemental Zn) with a total study a total study period of 6 months and 4 visits. To be included in the study the investigators require celiac diagnosed patients confirmed through CeD serology and duodenal biopsies adhering to a GFD > 6 months and plasma Zn ≤9.3 µmol/L. Questionnaires will be used to assess presentation of symptoms, dietary adherence, quality of life, depression and anxiety. The trial would be considered to be feasible if the enrolment fraction (i.e., number of enrolled patients /number of eligible patients) is 60% or above.

ICT Tools for the Diagnosis of Autoimmune Diseases

ITAMA_CAP
Start date: June 1, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The ITAMA project, which ended in 03/2022, came from the need to increase/anticipate the number of diagnosed cases of celiac disease (CD). The project involved the preliminary development of 'software tools' (Graphical User Interface (GUI), DATABASE, Decision Support System (DSS)) used to support the physicians to optimize CD diagnosis. Subsequently, through a screening of about 20,000 subjects of school age in Malta and about 1,000 subjects in Sicily, it was shown that, in compliance with international guidelines, it is possible to anticipate CD diagnosis and make it easy with the aid of a tool based on the search for specific antibodies in the blood, collecting a single drop of blood - with a test performed directly "in the points where care is provided" (eg schools, outpatient clinics) that is with a Point-of-Care-Test (PoCT). This system proved to be effective, and the method was minimally invasive (at least in some pediatric cases it was possible to avoid the endoscopic examination). The ITAMA project has made it possible to bring out a submerged part of the "CD iceberg", a condition that in a large percentage of cases remains undiagnosed and transfer the know-how to commercial companies in the medical sector. ITAMA project results allowed to verify and validate, on a large sample of subjects subjected to screening, that: 1. Diagnosis can be anticipated and facilitated by combined use of a rapid test (PoCT), medical history (supported by software) and traditional serological tests. 2. The diagnosis can be optimized by the support of Information Technology (IT) tools based on Artificial Intelligence (AI). 3. Non-invasive methods, if correctly applied, allow CD diagnosis avoiding invasive diagnostic techniques. 4. The reported procedures grant considerable savings for the National Health System (NHS). Starting from the results of ITAMA, this capitalization project aims to extend the previous experience in a larger population with heterogeneous characteristics (both adults and children). The goal of the new project is to use the combination of PoCT + tools software, to increase/anticipate CD diagnosis and, therefore, bring the number of diagnosed subjects closer to the number of expected cases, in Sicily and Malta. The inevitable implication of this would be the improvement in the quality of life of patients (reduction of symptoms, fewer medical visits and instrumental examinations performed, reduction of lost working days, improvement of social relations) and a significant reduction in costs for the NHS.
