Teriflunomide vs. Placebo During Gluten Challenge in Celiac Disease
April 16, 2021 updated by: Knut E. A. Lundin, Oslo University Hospital
A Phase IIa, Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Study on the Efficacy and Tolerability of a 14-day Treatment With Teriflunomide vs. Placebo in Subjects With Coeliac Disease Undergoing a 3-day Gluten Challenge
The investigators will see if the drug teriflunomide (which is in use in other immune disorder (multiple sclerosis)) can inhibit the immune activation in celiac disease patients during a 3 day gluten challenge.
This will be measured in a blood sample.

Detailed Description
This is a controlled, double-blind, randomised, singlecentre, placebo-controlled, phase IIa proof-of-concept study on effects of the drug on activation and efflux of gluten specific T cells using HLA-DQ:gluten tetramers.
The study will be conducted with two treatment groups in the form of a 2:1 parallel group comparison and will serve to compare oral treatment with 14 mg/d teriflunomide vs. placebo in subjects with well-controlled coeliac disease undergoing gluten challenge.
The screening period will be up to 8 weeks, followed by a 7-day run-in treatment period with a loading dose of teriflunomide followed by a 6 day therapeutic maintenance dose, an initial 4-week treatment-free follow-up period and a 6 month closing follow-up.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient aged 18-80
- Willingness to comply with the study procedures and having signed informed, written consent

- Positive serology (IgA-TG2 below upper level of normal) at screening visit
- Pregnancy or breast-feeding
- Not willing to comply with proper pregnancy control (in females)
- Concomitant medication that interferes with immune activation (e.g. steroids, calcineurin inhibitors, biological treatment for inflammatory bowel disease or other immune disorders, further list is given below)
- Any other medical condition that in the opinion of the principal investigator makes the individual unsuitable for participation
