Aims Efficacy results
Primary efficacy outcome:
LAMA ratio • There was no significant difference between larazotide acetate treated groups and placebo group.
• The 1 mg larazotide acetate treatment group had the changes in LAMA ratio. However, this was not statistically significant.
Secondary efficacy outcomes:
Gastrointestinal severity symptoms According to changes in total GSRS and CeD-GSRS score from baseline:
• The 1 mg larazotide acetate treatment group had significantly limited gluten induced symptoms versus placebo.
• The mean total GSRS and CeD-GSRS scores increased by 0.3–0.4 unit during gluten challenge in the placebo group. However, the 1 mg treatment group remained close to baseline.
• The changes in total GSRS score in the 1 mg treatment group were significantly lower than in the placebo group. The biggest difference (0.5 units) between these two was on the diarrhea subdomain of the GSRS.
• The scores in the abdominal pain and indigestion subdomains of GSRS were significantly lower in the 1 mg larazotide acetate treatment group versus the placebo group.
• The reduction of total GSRS scores in other treatment groups was not significant versus the placebo group.
Anti-tTG antibodies • The mean of anti-tTG antibodies levels in the placebo group became 19 U/ml after 6 weeks of gluten challenges. However, the mean levels of antibodies in all treatment groups remained less than 10 U/ml (the cutoff for positive). This was significantly lower than the placebo group.
Quality of life • The placebo group had lower PGWBI scores compared with treatment groups (the difference was not significant).
