Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - 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.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–50 - NCT00789009Recruiting
Monitoring people with known or suspected HIV infection

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06472765Enrolling by invitation
Study of the Vaginal Ecosystem in Healthy Women

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–89 - NCT05026749RecruitingPhase 3
Azithromycin for severe RSV breathing failure in young children
This trial tests whether azithromycin (an antibiotic) can improve outcomes for babies and young children in the ICU who have RSV causing serious breathing problems. It mainly looks at children who start strong breathing support soon after RSV symptoms begin.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 3 days–2 years - NCT04855773Recruiting
Mobile text-message support to help people stay on PrEP
This trial tests whether phone-based (iPhone/Android) text-message support can improve how consistently people use PrEP, an HIV prevention medicine. It may help you stay on track with refills and clinic visits, especially if you’re at higher risk of stopping PrEP.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 15 years+ - NCT07322146Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Shorter antibiotics for children with common infections
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 2 months–17 years - NCT01940757RecruitingPhase 1
Testing hookworm infection for adults who have never had it
This early-phase study tests whether deliberately infecting you with hookworm larvae placed on the skin is safe and how your body responds. It may help researchers understand treatments for hookworm-related conditions, but it involves being intentionally infected.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–45 - NCT06397794Recruiting
Pregnancy and parenting with Lyme disease study
This study explores the experiences of people who had Lyme disease during pregnancy or had ongoing Lyme symptoms throughout their pregnancy. By sharing your story in a recorded interview, you can help doctors and researchers better support parents with Lyme disease.

Smoking quit coaching plus lung scans for people with HIV
This study tests a behavior-change program to help people with HIV quit smoking, along with routine low-dose lung CT scans to find warning signs early. It’s a feasibility study, meaning the main goal is to see if the approach is practical and acceptable, and if people can follow through.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 45–80 - NCT07387367RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs for adenovirus after stem cell transplant
This trial tests a new drug, brincidofovir (BCV), against an existing drug, cidofovir (CDV), for treating adenovirus infection in people who recently had a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see which works better with fewer side effects.
