Description
Coeliac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by eating gluten, found in wheat, rye, and barley, in genetically predisposed individuals. When gluten is not fully digested, it triggers an immune response that leads to damage in the intestine and can result in symptoms and complications like nutritional deficiencies, skin rashes, and a higher risk of other autoimmune diseases.
The only current treatment is a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet, which is very challenging and can still result in accidental gluten consumption and ongoing symptoms.
What to expect
Momentum is running a clinical research study testing a new investigational treatment that aims to prevent immune cells from reacting to gluten in people with Coeliac Disease.
The study involves three doses which consist of at least one dose of the study medication and a placebo and several gluten challenges.
The study lasts up to 31 weeks with 6 weeks of initial screening, followed by the study treatment on 3 occasions over 24 weeks, and 1 month of follow-up after the treatment ends.
