New biologic FB102 takes on celiac disease in Mid-Stage trial
NCT ID NCT06982963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new biologic drug called FB102 in 100 adults with celiac disease who already follow a strict gluten-free diet. Participants will receive either FB102 or a placebo and then undergo a controlled gluten challenge to see if the drug can reduce intestinal damage and symptoms. The goal is to find a better way to manage accidental gluten exposure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- FB102 (a biologic drug given by infusion or injection)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment to help people with celiac disease better manage their condition even when accidentally exposed to gluten.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not show benefit or could cause side effects.
