NCT04655495

Brief Summary

15 patients with refractory celiac disease (RCD) and 15 patients with CD responsive to the GFD between the ages of 21 and 60 will be enrolled. The aim of the research will be: 1) to characterize the intestinal, blood and duodenal microbiota, then to evaluate both the taxonomy of the identified bacteria and their relative abundance 2) to analyse the profile of miRNAs from biopsy and fibroblasts isolated in the first duodenal portion, highlighting any basal deregulation and, for fibroblasts, after treatment with the 33-mer immunogenic peptide 3) quantify and know the composition of the fecal microbiota in celiac patients with persistent symptoms and in refractory celiac patients before (T0) and after (T28) treatment with a low-FODMAP diet. The aim of the study is to observe a diversification of the microbiota pattern of refractory patients vs. normoresponsive celiac patients and to observe a deregulation in the expression of miRNAs, both basally on biopsies and after treatment with the immunogenic peptide in primary fibroblast cultures.

You may qualify if:

  • patients on a proper gluten-free diet (assessing adherence to the gluten-free diet using the Celiac Dietary Adherence Test (CDAT)
  • celiac subjects diagnosed through a positive serological test of anti-endomysium antibodies (EMA) and tissue transglutaminase antibodies (TTG) evaluated through a histological abnormality in duodenal biopsies in accordance with Marsh's modified classification
