Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim is to demonstrate how fast and to what extent AN-PEP can degrade gluten in vivo in the stomach and how much gluten enters the small intestine. A second question is whether the caloric density of a meal can influence the efficacy of AN-PEP breakdown.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this trial, the effect of AN-PEP enzyme on gastrointestinal breakdown of gluten will be investigated in healthy subjects. In addition, it will be assessed if meal calories can affect the efficacy of AN-PEP. Subjects receive intragastrically, either AN-PEP or placebo, with either a high or a low caloric meal in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over fashion. Gastrointestinal fluid will be sampled to measure breakdown of gluten.
