Question: What clinical studies for peptic ulcers are looking for participants?
Answer: You can view a filtered list of clinical studies on peptic ulcers that are federally funded, open, and recruiting at ClinicalTrials.gov. You can expand or narrow the list to include clinical studies from industry, universities, and individuals; however, the NIH does not review these studies and cannot ensure they are safe. Always talk with your health care provider before you participate in a clinical study.
