Can a simple blood test during checkups catch diabetes and celiac disease early?
NCT ID NCT04477928
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether it's practical to screen thousands of children for type 1 diabetes and celiac disease during their regular doctor visits. Researchers will enroll up to 33,000 children from birth to age 6 and follow them for about 5 years. The goal is to see if parents agree to the screening, if samples can be collected easily, and if early detection leads to better monitoring or prevention.
