Study drug-free lung irritation using endotoxin in healthy adults
This trial tests how putting a small amount of endotoxin into a specific part of the lung affects the body. It’s designed for healthy, nonsmoking adults, and may help researchers understand lung and immune responses.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–45 - NCT02639299Recruiting
Screening healthy adults for malaria vaccines and drug studies
This study screens healthy adults to see who can join future malaria vaccine or investigational malaria drug studies, including a controlled malaria exposure. It may help researchers test safer vaccines/drugs, but participation requires good health and strict medical eligibility.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–50 - NCT02390765Recruiting
Study of growth, weight, and behavior in children
This study looks at how children’s growth and weight relate to thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help researchers understand what patterns affect health and development so they can guide better support for families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–100 - 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 - NCT02450851Recruiting
Find answers for undiagnosed medical conditions using genetic testing
This study helps look for causes of health problems when no one has been able to give a diagnosis. It tests and shares medical and genetic information (with privacy protections) so researchers can better match findings to possible causes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 month–100 years - NCT02595957Recruiting
Study about how people understand genetic test results
This trial studies what people and families think and understand about genetic test results, especially when results suggest a higher risk for disease. It may also include interviews and follow-up, and in some cases additional family testing if it fits the study’s goals.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–105 years - NCT02413450Enrolling by invitation
Using patient DNA cells to study inherited heart rhythm risks
This study uses your blood or genetic information to make “iPS cells,” lab-grown cells that can help researchers study inherited heart rhythm problems like LQTS, Brugada syndrome, CPVT, or early repolarization syndrome. It may help improve understanding of why these rhythms happen and guide future treatments.
