Based on the results obtained from the CeliacShieldTM trial (NCT03585478) by ImmunogenX, Inc. and conducted at the Mayo Clinic, the work has been selected as a Lecture Presentation at the 2022 Digestive Disease Week® (DDW) Conference, the foremost gastroenterological event in the world, being held at the San Diego Convention Center, San Diego, CA on May 21-24. The presentation entitled:
“CeliacShield™ Gluten Challenge Study – Latiglutenase Protects the Mucosa and Attenuates Symptoms of Celiac Disease”

As a further testament to the substantial impact of the CeliacShield trial, our work was also selected as a Poster of Distinction entitled:
“Gluten in Urine Measurements Validate Latiglutenase Mechanism of Action in CeliacShield™ Gluten Challenge Study”
This work was co-authored by Jennifer Sealey-Voyksner PhD (CSO) and Jack Syage PhD (CEO) of ImmunogenX. The poster will be presented in the session “Celiac Disease and Gluten Related Disorders”on May 21, 2022 from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm PDT.
The CeliacShield study, funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH)* to ImmunogenX, measured several outcomes including histology, symptoms, serology, and gluten in urine, which consistently met or exceeded expectations for clinical and statistical significance.
Dr. Jack Syage, CEO remarks “Our team was very pleased to undertake this clinical study and are gratified to see such positive results. Latiglutenase continues to be well tolerated and the results look promising for offering significant benefit to people suffering from celiac disease.”
