Run by University of Bari · NCT07862101 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how likely kids with celiac disease are to develop type 1 diabetes by gathering and analyzing health information from patients at the University of Bari.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children aged 1–18 with biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and no prior diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
✕Probably not a fit
Children already diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or with other autoimmune endocrinopathies may not receive a direct benefit from participation.

What this trial studies
This observational study uses population-based data to explore the risk and timing of type 1 diabetes in pediatric patients with biopsy-confirmed celiac disease. It aims to identify how genetic and clinical factors relate to the co-occurrence of these autoimmune conditions. The investigation leverages existing clinical information to characterize the relationship between celiac disease and the development of type 1 diabetes, without an intervention. Results could inform screening strategies and follow-up planning for at-risk children. The study is centered at the University of Bari, focusing on pediatric patients seen in Bari, Italy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could help doctors identify which children with celiac disease are at higher risk for developing type 1 diabetes and tailor monitoring accordingly.
How similar studies have gone: Previous international work has shown overlaps in autoimmune risk, supporting the value of population-based screening approaches, though this specific combination in pediatric celiac patients is observational and exploratory.
