Virtual Celiac Symptoms Study in Adults and Teenagers

March 8, 2023 updated by: Takeda

Assessment of Symptom Patterns in Celiac Disease: A Prospective Longitudinal Survey

The goal of this study is to better understand the symptoms and impacts of celiac disease (CeD). Participants use a smart phone online app to answer daily questionnaires about symptoms and life with CeD for 12 weeks. There are no blood draws, gluten challenges, medications, or doctor visits required.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Each Gastrointestinal Symptom and Tiredness Assessed by the Celiac Disease Symptom Diary (CDSD)
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
The CDSD is a celiac specific symptom assessment tool administered daily. The symptoms measured will include diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea/vomiting, number of bowel movements and tiredness. Presence and count of each symptom will be reported for the overall sample as well as separately for adults (age greater than or equal to [>=] 18) and adolescents (age >=12 less than [<] 18).
Up to 12 weeks
Number of Participants With Presence of Non-gastrointestinal (GI) Symptoms
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
Non-GI symptoms include: Headache, Brain fog (feeling confused or disorganized, or finding it hard to put thoughts into words), Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) or other rash (suspected to be related to gluten exposure), Joint/body pain (suspected to be related to gluten exposure), Irritability (feeling easily upset or frustrated), Mouth sores/canker sores, and others. Presence/count of each symptom will be assessed overall and separately for adults (age >=18) and adolescents (age >=12 and <18).
Up to 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Presence/Absence of Known and Suspected Gluten Exposure
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
This will be assessed overall and separately for adults (age >=18) and adolescents (age >=12 and <18).
Up to 12 weeks
Quality of Life (QoL) as Measured by the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) Version 2 (v2)
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
QoL will be measured using SF-12v2. SF-12 is a 12-item self-report that assesses the impact of health on an individual's everyday life. Average SF-12 scores will be reported for the overall sample as well as separately for adults (age >=18) and adolescents (age >=12 and <18).
Up to 12 weeks
Number of Participants With Healthcare Resource Utilization (HCRU)
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
Participants reporting the number of hospitalizations, emergency room (ER) visits, and outpatient/urgent care visits they had in the previous week. HCRU will be reported for the overall sample as well as separately for adults (age >=18) and adolescents (age >=12 and <18).
Up to 12 weeks
Work Productivity Assessed by the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire
Time Frame: Up to 12 weeks
WPAI measures the effect of general health and symptom severity on work/schoolwork productivity and regular activities during the past seven days. Average WPAI scores will be reported for the overall sample as well as separately for adults (age >=18) and adolescents (age >=12 and <18).
Up to 12 weeks
