Learn more and see if you or a family member may be eligible to participate. Adults currently being evaluated for celiac disease, those with a first-degree relative with celiac disease, or those who have received inconclusive test results may qualify for the clinical trial.

All participants who complete the study will receive up to $400 in gift cards as appreciation for their time.

Exciting news and a call for clinical trial volunteers!

Stanford researchers have developed an investigational drug called HB-2121, designed to detect celiac disease without requiring gluten consumption. In the long run, it may also become an important tool for monitoring disease and evaluating new treatments.

I'm co-hosting a live webinar with Stanford physician scientists Nielsen Fernandez-Becker, MD, PhD, and Nasim Khavari, MD, MPH, about the new study on Monday, September 29, at 9am PDT.

If you are interested but not sure you can make it, register and you’ll receive the recording afterward.

The study is looking for volunteers (both people with celiac disease and healthy individuals without the condition) and includes $400 compensation. The study requires in-person clinic visits to Stanford and will offer hotel accommodations for the night before and after dosing for out-of-area participants.

This is the first human trial for this drug agent. I'm looking forward to seeing where this exciting research leads.

Camper Kendall Samuelson and her family created a Little Caesar’s fundraiser “to help keep Camp Celiac going for years to come!”

There are a variety of options, including a gluten-free pepperoni pizza kit that is made in a dedicated facility and shipped frozen to your home.

They’ve already sold 36 kits and are nearly halfway to their goal!

You can buy a kit between now and March 31, when the fundraiser will conclude.

Easy, delicious, and profitable – our products are a hit with groups of all ages!
