New Therapeutic for Reflux Disease Fund
Your donation to this fund will help support a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy of a drug which inhibits pepsin as a promising new treatment for laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR). Together we can make a significant difference to the thousands of people suffering from reflux disease.
