Evaluating the Efficacy and Tolerability of ZED1227 in Subjects With Non-responsive Celiac Disease

A Phase II, Double-blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Tolerability of ZED1227 in Celiac Disease Subjects Experiencing Symptoms Despite Gluten-free Diet

Evaluating the Efficacy and Tolerability of ZED1227 in Subjects With Non-responsive Celiac Disease (NCT07298343) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Celiac Disease, sponsored by Dr. Falk Pharma GmbH. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

A study to discover if ZED1227 can improve continued celiac disease symptoms despite a gluten-free diet

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Celiac Disease and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

A target enrollment of 356 participants makes this a sizable late-stage trial. Studies in this range typically have enough power to detect clinically meaningful differences from a comparator and to characterize less-common side effects.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Signed willing to sign a consent form - Men or women between 18 and 80 years of age, inclusively - Documented initial biopsy-proven diagnosis of celiac disease or, in case of missing histological documentation, TG2-IgA \> 10 x upper limit of normal (ULN) at diagnosis at least 12 months prior to V0 - Adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) for at least 12 months prior to V0 - Human leukocyte antigen DQ (HLA-DQ) typing compatible with celiac disease Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Presence of hypo- or hyperthyroidism. A patient with a well-controlled thyroid disorder during the previous 3 months can be included - Patients diagnosed to have confirmed refractory celiac disease type I (RCDI) or II (RCDII), with the exception that patients with a diagnosis of RCDI can be considered for inclusion if they do not have clear signs of T cell monoclonality or atypical T cells (e.g., as revealed by CD3/CD8 immunohistochemistry) and if they do not present with very severe symptoms and/or parameters of significant malabsorption and if they have not received prior treatment with immunosuppressants such as budesonide or azathioprine, - Severe complications of celiac disease - Concomitant diseases of the intestinal tract in addition to celiac disease, such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, other forms of inflammatory bowel disease, severe irritable bowel syndrome, microscopic colitis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), exocrine pancreatic insufficiency; any other active diseases of the intestinal tract (e.g., active, untreated peptic ulcer, esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease) that might, in the investigator's opinion, interfere with assessment of symptoms of abdominal pain, diarrhoea, or other components of celiac disease - History or presence of dermatitis herpetiformis Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
