Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to characterize changes in gluten-specific T cells and pathology in the small intestine with specific focus on biomarkers likely to change with therapeutic celiac disease (CeD) treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Be a non-smoker who has not used tobacco- or nicotine-containing products (example, nicotine patch) for at least 6 months before Day 1 gluten administration.
  • Have well-controlled biopsy-proven CeD, compliant with a gluten-free diet (GFD) for greater than or equal to (>=) 6 months preceding screening, with resolution of CeD symptoms, normalization of CeD serology, and in the judgment of the investigator, have inactive or minimally-active disease.
  • Be HLA-DQ2.5 and/or HLA-DQ8 positive, assessed at screening. If participants have already been genotyped, results from previous testing may be used in lieu of genotyping at screening.
  • Be willing to delay a planned procedure involving the use of powerful electromagnetic fields (example, magnetic resonance imaging), until the PillCam SB 3 capsule is excreted.
  • Not undergo VCE or optical coherence tomography (OCT) if has an implanted electromedical device or a swallowing disorder.
  • Not undergo OCT if has a contraindication to the device or procedure as per reference information.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Had major surgery and/or donated or lost 1 unit of blood (approximately 500 milliliter [mL]) within 8 weeks before the first dose of gluten.
  • Are unable to refrain from or anticipate the use of any unapproved medication, including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal remedies, beginning approximately 7 days before administration of the initial dose of gluten and continuing throughout the trial until the follow-up visit.
  • Consume excessive amounts of coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, or other caffeinated beverages per day. An excessive amount is defined as greater than 6 servings (1 serving is approximately equivalent to 120 mg of caffeine).
  • Have positive IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (tTG), IgA anti-deamidated gliadin peptide (DGP), and IgG DGP serologies at Screening.
  • Have inflammatory gastrointestinal disorders or autoimmune diseases other than CeD or autoimmune thyroid disease.
  • Have known or suspected gastrointestinal obstructions, strictures, or fistulas based on the clinical picture or pre-procedure testing and profile of the PillCam SB 3 capsule.
  • Endoscopy and intestinal biopsy are contraindicated.
