    Summary · context
    In this dose-ranging, placebo-controlled study, 86 patients with celiac disease controlled through diet were randomly assigned to larazotide acetate (0.25, 1, 4, or 8 mg) or placebo three times per day with or without gluten challenge (2.4 g/day) for 14 days.
  2. 02HumanRandomized controlled trialEfficacy outcome

    In patients with celiac disease, larazotide appeared to limit gluten-induced worsening of gastrointestinal symptom severity on the GSRS at some lower doses but not at the higher dose, versus placebo.

    In plain wordsIn patients with celiac disease, some lower larazotide doses appeared to limit gluten-induced gut symptom worsening, but the higher dose did not, compared with placebo.
