Arms & Interventions

Placebo

Placebo Comparator

Excipients for ALV003 absent the experimental compounds

Intervention: ALV003 placebo (Biological)

ALV003

Experimental

ALV003 is an orally administered mixture of two recombinant proteases (cysteine endoprotease B-isoform 2 and prolyl endopeptidase) engineered to degrade gluten into non-immunogenic fragments, by targeting the glutamine and proline residues common in gluten.

Intervention: ALV003 (Biological)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Efficacy: Intestinal mucosal morphology

Time Frame: 6 weeks

Intestinal mucosal morphology - change from baseline to week 6

Safety: Tolerability of ALV003

Time Frame: 6 weeks

Safety will be evaluated by collection of adverse events, blood chemistry and blood cell counts

Secondary Outcomes

  • Efficacy: Change in intestinal intraepithelial lymphocyte numbers/phenotype(6 weeks)
  • Efficacy: Change in serological markers of celiac disease(6 weeks)
