Study of bronchiectasis and why infections keep coming back
This study follows children (age 5+) and adults with bronchiectasis or ongoing/repeated lung infections to learn what makes infections more likely. It mainly looks at non–cystic fibrosis causes, but may include some related conditions to compare differences.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT00001532Recruiting
How Genes Affect Lung Disease Development
This research study examines how genetic factors contribute to various lung diseases, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Researchers want to understand why some people develop lung disease and how genetics plays a role, which may help improve treatment in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT00081523Recruiting
Understanding How Sickle Cell Disease Develops Over Time
This research study follows people with sickle cell disease to learn how the condition affects their health over many years. By studying patients regularly, researchers hope to better understand the disease and improve care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–90 - NCT03372733RecruitingPhase 2
Omega-7 oil effects on blood fats and fullness
This study tests whether an omega-7 (palmitoleic acid–rich) oil changes your blood fat levels and how full you feel. It includes healthy adults and may help explain nutrition-based ways to support heart health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT02543996Recruiting
Providing blood or tissue samples to study disease
This study collects and stores biological samples (like blood and cord blood) to help researchers understand what causes disease. You may be asked to provide samples during pregnancy, delivery, or from an affected person, depending on eligibility.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT03538639Recruiting
Study blood and tissue samples for vascular disease discovery
This study collects blood (and sometimes tissue samples) from people who may have vascular (blood vessel) problems and from certain pregnant participants. Researchers use the samples to better understand vascular disease and to help guide future research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT00001529Recruiting

What taking part in a heart diseases 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.
