Free screening program for diabetes and heart risks
This study looks at how well and how cost-effective a combined health screening is for diabetes and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risks. You may be invited to attend screening around your 67th birthday.
ViborgAges 67–67 - NCT03372317Recruiting
Tau brain PET imaging study for adults ages 55–90
This study uses a brain scan called PET to look at tau (a brain protein) and how it relates to thinking and memory. It may help researchers understand early brain changes, though it’s mainly for healthy people living near Columbia who have had an amyloid PET scan before.
New York, New YorkAges 55–90 - NCT03288220Recruiting
Brain stimulation trial to improve arm movement
This trial studies whether a specific kind of non-painful brain stimulation (TMS) can improve arm and hand movement. It tests this in healthy volunteers and in people recovering from stroke.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT03011541Recruiting
Stem cell treatment for damaged retina or optic nerve
This study looks at stem-cell treatment to help vision in adults whose retina or optic nerve damage is not expected to improve on its own. You may be a candidate if your eye exam shows documented, stable or slowly changing damage and you can safely complete follow-up eye visits.
Westport, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT02497261Enrolling by invitation
Study factors that predict peanut allergy at age five
This study looks at which early test results and symptoms help predict whether a child will still have a peanut allergy by age 5. It may help families and doctors better understand who is at higher risk and plan next steps.
Ages 4–10 - NCT01306019RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for children with severe immune deficiency (XSCID)
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy approach to help children with X-linked SCID (a serious inherited immune disorder) make better immune cells. It’s for people who don’t have a fully matched sibling donor and need long-term follow-up after treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–50 - NCT01496625Recruiting
Biobank study for retinal diseases and comparison samples
This study collects and stores blood and eye-related medical information to help researchers better understand retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Your samples may also be used to compare people with retinal disease to people without it.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT02014246Recruiting
Gene study for movement disorders and dementia
This study looks at genes that may be linked to movement disorders (like Parkinson's disease) and dementias (like Alzheimer's). You'd give a blood or saliva sample to help researchers understand how these conditions run in families.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01324206Recruiting
MRI research methods study for adults interested in aging
This study develops new MRI (body imaging) research methods to help aging research. You may qualify if you’re an adult who can consent and follow study steps, and your participation supports exploratory (not diagnostic) aging-related research.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT01866371Recruiting
High-detail eye scans for children and adults
This study tests a high-resolution imaging method that takes very detailed pictures of the retina (the light-sensing layer at the back of the eye). You might benefit by getting your eye health checked in a structured imaging study—if you’re able to comfortably complete the scan.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 7 years+ - NCT01453127Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
