NCT ID NCT06807463
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests an injectable drug called TEV-53408 in 50 adults with celiac disease who follow a gluten-free diet. Participants will be exposed to small amounts of gluten to see if the drug can prevent intestinal damage. The trial is placebo-controlled and lasts about 86 weeks, focusing on safety and how well the drug protects the gut lining.
