I’ve written about the importance of clinical trials in celiac disease research before. Clinical trials are absolutely necessary for the future of celiac disease research and the future of pharmaceutical developments. Several pharmaceutical companies are in late-stage clinical trials that are in need of people with celiac disease to participate. We all need your help.
Please see if you’re eligible for any of the following clinical trials near you!
