Phase 1 clinical studies reveal safety, tolerability of therapeutic vaccine in celiac disease patients

ImmusanT, Inc., a clinical-stage company developing Nexvax2, a therapeutic vaccine intended to protect against the effects of gluten exposure while maintaining a gluten-free diet in HLA-DQ2.5+ patients with celiac disease, today announced the publication of positive data from two Phase 1 clinical trials of Nexvax2 in celiac disease.

Study finds no link between gluten intake and heart disease risk in people without celiac disease

A study of more than 100,000 men and women revealed that dietary gluten is not associated with heart disease risk in people without celiac disease. The findings also suggest that limiting whole grains as part of a low-gluten diet may increase the risk of heart disease in people who do not have celiac disease.
