Studying leftover virus after covid recovery
This study looks for signs of leftover SARS-CoV-2 virus in people who have fully recovered from COVID-19, including those with ongoing neurological symptoms (like brain fog, fatigue, or nerve pain). It aims to understand why some people have long-lasting symptoms after infection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - NCT06607003RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a malaria infection in healthy adults
This study gives healthy adults who have never had malaria a controlled infection with the parasite that causes malaria, to see if it is safe and if mosquitoes can pick up the parasite from them. It may help develop new ways to prevent malaria.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–54 - NCT07149428Recruiting
Deep study of smell loss causes using brain scans
This study uses brain imaging and electrical recordings to understand the brain's role in smell loss from any cause—like COVID, sinus problems, or chemotherapy. You may be eligible if you have any degree of smell loss lasting under a year.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06920628RecruitingPhase 1
Brain scan study for long COVID neurological symptoms
This study uses a special PET scan to look at brain inflammation in people with neurological symptoms after COVID-19. It aims to understand how inflammation might be linked to ongoing problems like brain fog or memory issues.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT07704333RecruitingPhase 1
Imaging test for invasive mold infections
This study tests a new imaging agent that may help doctors see mold infections in the body. It involves healthy volunteers and people with mold infections, and aims to improve how these infections are detected and monitored.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00018044Recruiting
Study of mycobacterial infections and immune system
This study looks at how the body fights mycobacterial infections (a type of bacteria) and aims to find immune problems that make some people more prone to these infections. It may help us understand why some people get sick and could lead to better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Up to 100 years - NCT00029445Recruiting
Blood and Cell Collection Study for HIV Research
This research study collects blood cells from adults with HIV and their family members to understand why some people's immune systems control HIV better than others. Researchers will use your cells to study HIV immunity and develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00557726Recruiting
Evaluation and care for inflammatory or infectious illnesses
This trial helps doctors evaluate possible infection or inflammation and decide on the best management plan. You may be able to receive specialized care at the NIH if the study team thinks your situation fits.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–100 - NCT00006518Recruiting
Tissue samples from people with viral infections or cancer
This study collects tissue and blood samples from people who have or have been exposed to certain viruses (HIV, KSHV, HPV, EBV, or HTLV-1) or who have developed cancer or precancerous skin lesions. The samples help researchers understand how these viruses may lead to cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00001645Recruiting
Evaluation and treatment of parasitic infections
This study evaluates and treats patients who may have a parasitic infection (an infection caused by parasites—tiny organisms that live in or on the body). Researchers will monitor your condition and provide care to help you get better.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 years+ - NCT00344188Recruiting
Study of Leishmania infections
This trial studies people with Leishmania infections (a parasitic disease often from sand fly bites). Researchers aim to better understand and treat the infection, and you may benefit from expert care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–100 - NCT00789009Recruiting
Monitoring people with known or suspected HIV infection
This study tests how well researchers can track HIV-related health and immune changes over time by collecting blood and other samples. It may help you and your care team by creating detailed monitoring, even if your HIV diagnosis is new or still being evaluated.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01212003Recruiting
Study of how tuberculosis develops over time
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB), whether they have inactive “latent” TB or active TB. It helps researchers better understand TB’s natural course and may improve future testing and care by allowing collection and storage of samples.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT05645107RecruitingPhase 3
XEMBIFY plus usual care to prevent infections
This Phase 3 study tests whether XEMBIFY (an immune protein therapy) plus standard medical treatment can better prevent serious or repeated infections. It is for people with certain cancers of blood/immune systems who are already having trouble with infections.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01306084Recruiting
Study of viral infections in healthy and immune-compromised people
This trial studies how viruses affect the body, and how the immune system responds, in both healthy people and people with weakened immunity. It may include people who currently have a suspected or recent viral infection, close contacts, people around the time of a viral vaccine, and healthy adults used for comparison.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–120 years - NCT06479837Recruiting
Study using tonsil tissue to understand infections
This study uses tonsil tissue that is removed during a routine tonsillectomy to grow tiny 'organoids' in the lab. Researchers will study how germs interact with human cells, which could lead to better treatments for infections.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT01780168Recruiting
Study of metabolism, infection, and immunity in mitochondrial disease
This study looks at how metabolism, infections, and the immune system work together in people with mitochondrial disease. It aims to learn more about the condition and may help guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–115 years - NCT01386437Recruiting
Study immune problems and fungal infections
This study looks at how immune system problems relate to fungal infections, using medical records and lab tests on blood and tissue. It may help researchers understand the cause of these infections—especially for people with inherited immune conditions—and improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT07215871Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Second H10N7 flu challenge for prior participants
This study tests whether people who have already been exposed to a lab-made H10N7 flu virus can be safely exposed again. It checks how their immune system responds and how long they shed the virus, in a controlled, isolated setting.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–55 - NCT00006150Recruiting
Understanding Hyper-IgE Syndrome: Natural History and Genetics
This study follows people with or suspected Hyper-IgE syndrome (a rare immune disorder causing repeated infections and skin problems) to understand how the condition develops, how best to manage it, and which genes are involved. Researchers also welcome healthy relatives of patients to help identify genetic patterns.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–120 years - NCT07706686RecruitingPhase 1
Dengue challenge study in people with prior infection
This study tests how the body responds to a mild, lab-made dengue virus in people who have had dengue before. It looks at how the immune system reacts to a second infection, which may help improve future vaccines and treatments.
