Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Subjects possess the genes encoding HLA DQ8 (either DQA1*03 or DQB1*0302).
2. Uncontrolled complications of coeliac disease which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would impact immune response or pose an increased risk to the subject.
3. Systemic biological agents less than 6 months prior to Day 1.
4. Receipt of systemic immunomodulatory agents or experimental drugs less than 30 days prior to Day 1.
5. Any of the following laboratory abnormalities at Screening:

* ALT, AST or alkaline phosphatase (ALP) > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
* Calculated creatinine clearance < 80 mL/min
* Haemoglobin (Hb) outside of the normal range
* Platelet count <125 x 109/L
* Serum potassium outside of the normal range
* White blood cell (WBC) count outside of the normal range
* Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) outside of the normal range
* Any other clinically significant abnormal lab values, as determined by the Clinical Investigator.
6. Subjects who smoke or who have smoked at all in the past 3 months.
7. Positive pregnancy test at Screening or Baseline.
8. History of any medically significant condition considered by the Investigator to adversely affect participation in the trial.
9. Non-compliance with a gluten free diet or flare in coeliac disease symptoms from Screening to Baseline.
10. Clinically relevant abnormality on ECGs.

Summary
Brief summary
The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety of weekly injections of Nexvax2 given for three weeks to patients with coeliac disease who have been on a gluten-free diet.

The second purpose of this study is to compare the immune response over the three week study period in coeliac disease patients given Nexvax2 compared to those given saline.
