Bethesda, MarylandAges Any age - NCT03000244Recruiting
Long-term follow-up after stem cell or gene therapy
This study checks how people do long-term after stem cell transplant, cellular therapy, or gene therapy. It may help doctors track longer-term health effects and recovery and improve future care.

Bethesda, MarylandAges 30–120 - NCT01212055Recruiting
Apheresis for certain immune system gene problems

What taking part in a cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
