Study Notes
Coeliac Disease (CD)
- CD is a chronic immune-mediated systemic disease triggered by gluten and related prolamins in genetically susceptible individuals.
- The only effective treatment available is a strict lifelong gluten-free diet (GFD), which can be difficult to adhere to and may lead to nutritional deficiencies.
- Non-adherence to a GFD is estimated to be as high as 50%, particularly among adolescents and young adults.
Definition and Prevalence
- CD is a multifactorial illness triggered by a genetically predisposed environment in relation to gluten ingestion.
- The cumulative risk of CD up to the age of 15 is augmented by more than 10-fold when at least one HLA risk allele is present.
- 95-97% of coeliac patients possess DQ2, and the rest exhibit DQ8.
- The prevalence of CD in the general population ranges between 0.1 and 1% in countries such as Spain, France, Italy, and Finland.
Pathophysiology and Clinical Manifestations
- CD is a complex immune-mediated enteropathy that can occur in genetically predisposed people of all ages after ingesting gluten.
- Gluten intake leads to an immune response in the small bowel of CD patients, resulting in small intestinal inflammation.
- The clinical presentation of CD has evolved over the past few decades, with a trend towards an increased symptomatic prevalence and the observation of non-classical or subclinical phenotypes.
Current Management Guidelines
- The only current treatment for CD is a strict gluten-free diet, which can be a source of anxiety and depression.
- Life-long adherence to a gluten-free diet is necessary, and regular contact with a dietitian can provide ongoing support and improve quality of life.
- Even small amounts of gluten (20mg per day) can cause an immune response and further damage to the intestine.
Pharmacological Interventions
- There is a need for non-dietary treatments for CD, as the current gluten-free diet is not always effective or easy to follow.
- Novel approaches to gluten intolerance include preventing the immune response to gluten, rather than breaking down the gluten itself.
- Biologics, such as monoclonal antibodies, and local anti-cytokine therapy are potential avenues for treating CD.
- Therapies that target multiple pathways within the immune response may be required to treat CD.
Enzyme Supplements
- Enzyme supplements, such as prolyl endopeptidases (PEPs), can break down gluten into smaller, non-immunogenic peptides.
- The inhibitory effect of PPIs on common PEPs is a concern, and dosage frequency and form are important factors to consider.
Immunosuppressive Agents
- Immunosuppressive agents, such as azathioprine or methotrexate, may be used in patients with refractory CD, but they can have significant side effects.
Novel Therapeutic Approaches
- ALV003, a 6-mer peptide, has been shown to degrade gluten and reduce the immune response to gluten.
- Larazotide acetate, a mucolytic enzyme, is currently being investigated in phase II trials.
- Atvaercept, a mixed IL-2/IL-15 antagonist, has been shown to improve histological and serological duodenal lesions in a phase 1 trial.
Glutenase Enzymes
- Glutenase enzymes can be used to break down gluten into smaller, non-immunogenic peptides.
- The currently evaluated dosage of glutenase enzymes varies from 0.4 to 50 AU per gram of gluten ingested.
- Synthetic work is ongoing to optimize the therapeutic effect of glutenase enzymes.### Clinical Trials and Enzyme Formulations
- Clinical trials have shown that enzyme formulations can decrease GI symptoms after gluten intake when administered together with a meal containing 11g of gluten.
- Additional data is required, especially on the possible preferential administration of this drug in newly diagnosed celiac patients before adhering to a gluten-free diet.
Limitations of Gluten-Free Diet
- Celiac disease (CD) is primarily treated by a strict gluten-free diet (GFD), which is not completely effective and difficult to maintain.
- A recent prospective study showed that 88% of CD patients do not adhere strictly to a GFD.
- This leads to higher rates of disease persistence, relapse, and complications associated with poor response to a GFD.
Alternative Therapeutic Strategies
- Rational non-diet responsive strategies for CD management include the adjunctive use of specific drugs acting against gluten, parallel to an incomplete compliance to a GFD.
- Pancreatic proteases and glutenases enzymes have been tested for gluten breakdown and could be included in formulations to improve gluten hydrolysis in the gastrointestinal tract.
Vaccine Development
- Molecules like ZED1227, a small molecular mass inhibitor of transglutaminase-2, can block the amplification step of the gluten immune response.
- Alternative therapeutic strategies include immune modulation, such as Treg induction or local secretory IgA induction, to dampen the local intestinal immune response.
- Treatments based on supporting epithelial barrier integrity and decreasing gut inflammation are also being explored.
Gluten Neutralization
- Gluten neutralization is an alternative therapeutic strategy that involves the "enzymatic break down" of gluten peptides in the gut that are resistant to gastric and pancreatic digestion.
- Several research groups are developing mixtures of proteolytic enzymes to destroy deamidation potential and/or T-cell stimulating epitopes in the gut.
Clinical Trials and Evidence-Based Medicine
- Novel targets for drug discovery in celiac disease include enzyme therapy, amylase/trypsin inhibitor, and FasL inhibitor, among others.
- Clinical trials are ongoing to evaluate the efficacy and safety of these novel therapies.
Novel Nondietary Therapies for Celiac Disease
- Patients with celiac disease must maintain a stringent lifetime gluten-free diet, but additional treatment options are needed.
- Recently, the focus has shifted towards immunological, regulatory, and epithelial targets, which may yield more specific and less toxic treatments.
- Several novel therapies have shown promise in clinical trials, including vilazodone, larazotide acetate, and anti-IL-15 antibodies.
Outcome Measures in Coeliac Disease Trials
- Patients with coeliac disease suffer from ongoing symptoms and slow and incomplete mucosal healing during a gluten-free diet.
- Alternative treatments are needed, and a large number of potential targets for treatments have been identified.
- Outcome measures in CD therapeutic trials have been summarized by a recent study and expert-based recommendations, including patient perspectives.
Future Directions in Celiac Disease
- In 2016, a study demonstrated that colorectal T lymphocytes can be selectively eliminated using the humanized monoclonal antibody anti-CD3 visilizumab, inducing remission in 45% of patients with operative anemia who failed to respond to a gluten-free diet.
- Another promising therapeutic approach is to reduce the specific inflammatory response to gluten-derived peptides.
- Silencing genes that encode HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 using small inhibitory RNA may be a viable approach.
- Monoclonal antibodies that inhibit the traffic of mucosal T cells exposed to gluten-derived peptides, such as natalizumab, may be helpful in treating refractory celiac disease.
- Other drugs being explored include vedolizumab, rebrocholimab, and cilengitide.
Patient Education and Adherence
- Not all celiac patients find dietary compliance to be simple to achieve due to complexities such as identifying gluten-containing components in food packaging, dining out, and socializing.
- Dietitians receive favorable overall assessments for providing dietary advice to patients.
- Celiac disease is a systemic disorder triggered by gluten ingestion in genetically susceptible individuals and is more frequent than formerly believed.
- The only successful therapy for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet, which excludes wheat, rye, and barley.
Importance of Education and Counseling
- Physicians should properly educate and counsel patients to ensure compliance with medications and prevent drug-nutrient interactions, adverse reactions, and side effects.
- Patients' education and counseling are crucial when prescribing medications to improve adherence and prevent long-term use of certain drugs.
- Pharmacotherapy for celiac disease involves the use of systemic or topical medicinal substances to prevent, ameliorate, or cure part of the disease or its symptoms as an adjunct to a gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral supplementation.
Strategies for Improving Adherence
- New therapeutic targets have been identified, including the characterisation of Th1 and Th17 driven IFN- and IL-17A-driven inflammation.
- Targeting Zonulin receptor (ZOT-R) has a compelling biological rationale and has led to a recent large phase IIa trial with a micronutrient conjugated, ZOT-R-inactivating monoclonal antibody.
- Technologies designed to assist safe gluten consumption, including advice, smartphone applications, monitoring devices, shared care packages, meal plans, and dietary aids, can help educate patients and improve GFD adherence.
- A strict, lifelong gluten-free diet is the cornerstone of managing celiac disease, but it is difficult to adhere to, with around 50% of patients having dietary transgressions during the preceding 6-12 months.
Conclusion and Future Perspectives
- The recent development of innovative drugs is expanding therapeutic opportunities for patients with celiac disease.
- The need to supplement GFD for persistent CD has resulted in the design of pharmacotherapy strategies differently from those devised for CD prevention.
- Treatment with anti-Zonulin is a genuine new strategy that targets the increased intestinal permeability of gluten-sensitive patients.
- The new induction of gluten-tolerance by gluten-oral delivery is a novel approach that may be considered for subjects who do not want preventive treatments but look for protection and eventual cure.
