About Crohn’s Disease Clinical Trials
Crohn’s Disease is a form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) impacting over 500,000 Americans. It causes inflammation in the digestive tract and symptoms such as abdominal pain, malnutrition, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss. Although it primarily affects intestinal walls, it can involve any part of the digestive system.
Hightower Clinical conducted multiple clinical trials on Crohn’s Disease, evaluating the safety and efficacy of investigational drugs across patients with varying severity levels. Additionally, compared study drugs with those already available in the market. This groundbreaking research aimed to improve treatment outcomes and enhance the quality of life.
