About this clinical trial

DONQ52 is a new experimental drug that is expected to suppress the gluten specific T-cell activity and reduce your illness/symptoms of coeliac disease when gluten is accidentally ingested by binding with the complex of coeliac human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and gluten peptide.

The main goals of this study are to find out:

  • How safe DONQ52 is
  • How quickly DONQ52 is absorbed and removed by your body (this is called pharmacokinetics). This will be measured by changes in the amount of DONQ52 in your blood.
  • How DONQ52 reacts in the body compared to placebo in people who have Coeliac Disease in response to a gluten challenge.
