Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT07222670RecruitingPhase 2
Study of INNA-051 to prevent viral respiratory illness in healthy adults
This trial tests whether INNA-051 can help prevent respiratory infections caused by viruses in healthy adults aged 18 to 45. It may be an option if you are at higher risk of catching such infections due to your living or work situation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–45 - 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 - 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 years+ - NCT00001778Recruiting

This research study evaluates people with HTLV infection, a virus that can cause a nerve disorder called HAM/TSP. Researchers want to better understand who gets this condition and why, which may help develop future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00001352Recruiting
Understanding Why Some People Get Fungal Infections
This study looks at genetic reasons why some people are susceptible to a serious fungal infection called cryptococcosis. Researchers will collect blood samples and perform genetic testing to understand the immune system differences that make certain individuals more vulnerable to this infection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - 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 - 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 - NCT00404560Recruiting
Blood tests to study infection risk and immune problems
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have—or might have—an increased risk of infections. It also enrolls their healthy blood relatives so researchers can compare immune features; results may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and why.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT00018044Recruiting
Understanding Immune Defects in Mycobacterial Infections
This research study aims to better understand why some people develop unusual bacterial infections (mycobacterial infections) that don't respond well to standard treatments. Researchers will examine your immune system and may study family members to identify genetic factors that increase infection risk.
Bethesda, MarylandAges Up to 100 years - NCT07704333RecruitingPhase 1
PET scan test for mold infections
This study is testing a new imaging agent to see if it can help detect invasive mold infections in the body. It will involve healthy volunteers and people with certain types of fungal infections.

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 - NCT06043596Recruiting

Studying infections and immune responses in mitochondrial disease
This study looks at what happens in the body when someone with mitochondrial disease gets a sudden (acute) infection, and how the immune system and metabolism respond. Results may help doctors better recognize and manage infections in people with mitochondrial disease.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 months–115 years - NCT06908096RecruitingPhase 1
EBV nanoparticle vaccine study for healthy adults
This study tests two experimental vaccines against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the germ that causes mono. You may be able to join if you are a healthy adult aged 18–29 and haven't had an EBV vaccine before. The trial will check if the vaccines are safe and trigger an immune response.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–29 - NCT05592626RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
T cell activator STAR0602 for advanced solid tumors
This study tests an experimental drug called STAR0602 that aims to boost your immune system's T cells to fight advanced solid tumors. It's for patients whose cancer has not responded to standard treatments or for whom such treatments are not suitable.
