Clinical Trials for Celiac Disease Patients

Home / Celiac Disease Research / Clinical Trials

Researchers around the world are working to develop new treatments for celiac disease beyond the gluten-free diet. As a person affected by celiac disease, you can play a crucial role in advancing research by participating in a clinical trial or study.

If you are interested in participating in a clinical trial studying celiac disease, a treatment for celiac disease, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) use the information below to determine if there is a trial that is right for you.

toward breakthroughs, treatments, and even a cure.

Open trials we’re recruiting for:

DAISY Study

*Intended for a US audience*
Tired of dealing with celiac? We are seeking volunteers living with celiac disease to join the DAISY clinical research study to help us further develop our knowledge of celiac disease and discover a potential new medication option. 

By joining the DAISY Study, you may receive:

  • study-required investigational medication at no cost
  • study-related care at no cost
  • reimbursement for study-related travel expenses. 

Health insurance is not required to take part.

GLUTECH

Have you been recently diagnosed with celiac disease? You could help researchers learn if gluten detection technology improves intestinal healing and quality of life.

Eligibility

  • 18–75 years old
  • Biopsy-diagnosed celiac disease
  • Less than 4 months on a gluten-free diet
  • Willing to come to one of four sites:
    • Boston
    • Chicago
    • Nashville
    • New York City

Additional criteria apply.

Potential Benefits

Participants will receive an iPad at the beginning of the trial and can also earn up to an additional $565 for participation. Those who do not get randomized to the gluten detection technology group will be provided with samples of the technology at the end of the study if desired.

Beyond Celiac is working to help raise awareness for this trial as part of our commitment to accelerating research. For more information about the GLUTECH study and to see if you qualify, visit this link. More information about the trial is also available at ClinicalTrials.gov.
