View our Clinical Trials Infographic to learn how clinical trials tie into to drug development process.

There is no medication that treats celiac disease. To avoid the health problems that it can cause, you'll need to go completely gluten-free.

“Nexvax2 has been designed to re-educate the body's immune system to help protect celiac disease patients from the side effects associated with inadvertent exposure to gluten,” said Dr. Anderson. “Today, the only solution for patients with celiac disease is adherence to a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet.
