  • Vh:Cd ≥ 1.5 on screening biopsy.

 Exclusion Criteria:

  • Positive for only HLA-DQ8.
  • History of clinically confirmed immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated reaction and/or anaphylaxis to wheat (i.e., "wheat allergy"), barley or rye.
  • Uncontrolled CD and/or active signs/symptoms of CD, in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Untreated or active gastrointestinal disease such as peptic ulcer disease, esophagitis (Los Angeles Classification ≥ Grade C), irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, or microscopic colitis. 
  • Immunocompromised individuals, including those receiving immunosuppressive doses of corticosteroids (more than 20 mg of prednisone given daily or on alternative days for 2 weeks or more within 6 months prior Dose 1, any dose of corticosteroids within 30 days of Day 1, or high dose inhaled corticosteroids [> 960 µg/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent]) or other immunosuppressive agents.
  • Presence or history of celiac-associated thyroid disease or Type 1 diabetes, regardless of current treatment.
