The work behind the result

Prepare for the full commitment.

The gluten challenge, daily reporting, and repeated visits each shaped participant readiness.

  • The gluten challenge

    Candidates needed to understand and be willing to undertake the challenge.

    How WCR responded

    Prescreening conversations addressed understanding, willingness, and the practical ability to participate before candidates committed to the trial.

  • Demanding diaries

    Diary reporting required a consistent routine.

    How WCR responded

    Staff established daily reminders and shared responsibility for participant outreach to support timely diary completion.

  • Repeated visits and the full commitment

    Participation extended beyond individual appointments.

    How WCR responded

    The team built relationships and maintained open communication throughout the trial, giving participants a familiar point of contact as they managed the study requirements.

Outcomes in context

The full participant pathway

Twelve participants screened, eight enrolled and randomized, and all eight completed. The four screen failures aligned with the study’s expected screening experience.

Forecast and completion answered different questions

Enrollment exceeded the original forecast of six. Completion was measured among the eight enrolled and randomized participants, not among everyone who screened.
