Today we’re going to look at the ongoing studies and clinical trials specific to celiac disease in adults.

The following list has been curated by evaluating the current Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials for celiac disease in adults conducted in the United States. Please note that the dates provided are approximate and may be subject to change. This list primarily includes studies that have been updated within the past 12 months.

This series is intended to provide a preview of what new innovations are to come on a given topic, and how might the results of those studies ultimately impact clinical guidelines on the topic(s). 

So now let’s jump into the list of Celiac Disease Clinical Trials!
