Do you want to participate in a local clinical trial for a drug to treat Celiac disease?

If you have Celiac disease, and have followed a gluten-free diet for at least a year, but still experience symptoms when exposed to gluten, you may qualify for a CLINICAL TRIAL of a medication to treat Celiac disease. I found the ad for this drug trial on Craigslist.org. The study is being administered by Omega Medical Research in Warwick, and here's what they said when I called (401-739-3573) for details.

Study participants must be between 18-75 years old, have been following a gluten-free diet for at least 12 months, and be biopsy-diagnosed.

The study requires seven visits over 22 weeks, where they'll do blood work, take your vitals, and do an EKG. You will be asked to keep a food diary. Participants will receive either a placebo, or the trial medication. Clinical trial participants will be paid $300 at the end of the study.

If you would like to participate in the study, email patty@omegamedicalresearch.com.
