Recruiting studies
- NCT07158008Recruiting
Weight loss surgery for people with obesity and heartburn
This study compares two weight-loss surgeries for people who have both obesity and severe heartburn or GERD. One surgery combines part of the stomach removal with an anti-reflux wrap, while the other reroutes the stomach to help with weight loss and reflux.
KrakowAges 18–65 - NCT07252115Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for hiatal hernia and stubborn GERD
This trial compares two surgical approaches (a 'partial wrap' and a 'full wrap' of the stomach around the esophagus) to fix a hiatal hernia and treat severe, hard-to-control reflux (GERD). It may be a good option if your reflux hasn't improved with medication and you have a hiatal hernia.
BeijingAges 18–85 - NCT07268820RecruitingPhase 4
Nighttime heartburn treatment for erosive GERD
This trial tests a treatment for nighttime heartburn caused by GERD, a condition where stomach acid damages the esophagus. It is for adults who have had nighttime heartburn for more than 3 months and have been diagnosed with erosive GERD.
AnsanAges 19 years+ - NCT00260585Recruiting
Esophageal risk and tissue registry study
This study collects information and, if you already need blood tests or procedures, may take extra small tissue samples (biopsies) to better understand esophageal-related conditions. It may help researchers learn about risk and future management for people with certain esophagus or reflux-related diagnoses.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07421011RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing two forms of a drug for healthy volunteers
This study tests two different versions of a drug called Trimedat to see if they work the same way in the body. It is for healthy volunteers to understand how the drug is absorbed and if it is safe.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–45 - NCT07506746Recruiting
Study on esophagus movement
This study tracks patients with reflux, swallowing problems, or other esophageal symptoms to understand how the esophagus moves. It may help if you have heartburn, regurgitation, or related issues like cough or chest pain.
Milan, LombardyAges 18 years+ - NCT07556289RecruitingPhase 2
Minimally invasive reflux surgery for Asian patients with severe heartburn
This trial tests a newer, less invasive surgical procedure called TIF (Transoral Incisional Fundoplication) for patients with severe acid reflux and regurgitation that hasn't improved with high-dose medications. The procedure is done through the mouth rather than the abdomen, and researchers will follow patients for 5 years to see if it works and is safe in Asian populations.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT04960566Enrolling by invitation
Behavior therapy for reflux symptoms tied to stress responses
This study tests a behavioral approach for people with GERD whose reflux symptoms keep coming back even after they tried an acid-blocking medicine (a PPI). It aims to help by targeting stress-related body responses that may worsen symptoms.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for gerd?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 56 recruiting gerd studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a gerd trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a gerd trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
