Clinical Trials for GI Bleeding

NIDDK conducts and supports clinical trials in many diseases and conditions, including digestive diseases. The trials look to find new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease and improve quality of life.

What are clinical trials for GI bleeding?

Clinical trials—and other types of clinical studies—are part of medical research and involve people like you. When you volunteer to take part in a clinical study, you help doctors and researchers learn more about disease and improve health care for people in the future.

Researchers are studying many aspects of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, including

• new ways to find the source of GI bleeding
• improved treatments to stop GI bleeding
• strategies to prevent GI bleeding from recurring

What clinical studies for GI bleeding are looking for participants?

You can view a filtered list of clinical studies on GI bleeding 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, NIH does not review these studies and cannot ensure they are safe for you. Always talk with your health care provider before you participate in a clinical study.
