New drug aims to tame gluten reaction in celiac disease
NCT ID NCT05574010
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested an experimental drug called KAN-101 in people with celiac disease. The goal was to see if it could safely reduce the immune response to gluten. The trial included 128 participants and was split into phases to check safety and how the body processes the drug. However, the study was terminated early, so final conclusions are limited.
