Summary

This early study tests a single oral dose of HB-2121 in 20 adults with suspected celiac disease. The dye is given four hours before a standard endoscopy to see how it interacts with the small intestine and whether it is safe. Researchers will track side effects and measure the dye's brightness in biopsy samples for up to 30 days.

Active substance

HB-2121

What this could lead to

If successful, HB-2121 could become a new diagnostic tool to help doctors identify celiac disease more easily during routine endoscopy.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 safety study with only 20 participants. It is not designed to prove the diagnostic works, only that it is safe. Many early-stage trials do not lead to approved tests.
