New screening study targets hidden diabetes and celiac disease in High-Risk communities
NCT ID NCT06908057
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is screening 115 underserved children and adults who are at risk for type 1 diabetes or celiac disease. Researchers will use blood tests to find early signs of these conditions, aiming to improve how we detect them. The goal is to catch these diseases sooner, especially in communities that often lack access to care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better, earlier screening for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease in underserved communities.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational screening study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly improve health outcomes, and the screening methods tested may not prove more effective than current ones.

Who is studied
The targeted study population is categorized as vulnerable. Cognitively Impaired Adults: Cognitively impaired adults will be evaluated case to case. For example, a high functioning person with Trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome) could be a possible participant, since they are at high risk of diabetes. Children: above the age of two with a sibling, parent, or other first or second-degree relatives with T1D or children with another other autoimmune diseases will be able to participate. Participation involves minimal risk (not greater than that encountered for clinical purposes) with the prospect of individual benefit. Pregnant Women: Participation involves minimal risk (not greater than that encountered for clinical purposes) with the prospect of individual benefit.
