Effects of a Nutritional Solution to Improve Intestinal Permeability in Celiac Patients (Protalsafe)

April 19, 2018 updated by: Société Guaranteed Gluten Free (GGF)

Randomized, Double-blind, Controlled and Parallel Study of the Effect of a New Nutritional Solution to Improve Intestinal Permeability in Celiac Patients

Celiac disease (or gluten intolerance) is recognized as one of the most common chronic diseases: prevalence of 1 in 100 to 1/300 people in Europe and the United States. To date, the treatment consists of a total elimination of any source of gluten from the diet. This eviction generates many daily constraints that would explain that more than 50% of patients do not follow this diet correctly. Hidden sources of gluten in a number of foods also carry the burden of this difficulty in effective exclusion. The objective of the ProtAlSafe study is to develop an innovative nutritional approach in the form of a dietary supplement to improve quality of life of patients. The product is not intended to replace a strict gluten-free diet but to propose a nutritional approach in the form of a dietary supplement to improve quality of life of patients. The expected benefits for people consuming the test product are an overall improvement in quality of life and an improvement in biological markers (intestinal permeability, chronic inflammation, etc.) associated with celiac disease.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
44

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 60 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: after 12 weeks of treatment
ratio of the two sugars following ingestion
after 12 weeks of treatment

circulating concentration

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
