This study uses a special brain scan to measure “tau” buildup in people with an inherited form of Alzheimer’s. It may help researchers better understand disease changes and evaluate whether the scan can track them over time.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT02450006Recruiting
Intermountain INSPIRE health registry for patients and families
This study is a health registry that collects information from people seen at Intermountain Health facilities (and sometimes unaffected family members). It aims to better understand health conditions and how people do over time, and it may help improve future care.
Murray, UtahAges Any age - NCT02306200Recruiting
A study to improve heart and aorta health
This trial looks at ways to improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health, especially conditions that affect the aorta, such as aneurysms, or vascular problems that may run in families. If you have an aortic-related or other cardiovascular diagnosis (or you’re a healthy comparison participant), you may be invited to take part in this health-improvement program.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Any age - NCT02240862Recruiting
Carotid artery disease registry for symptom and risk groups
This is a registry that enrolls adults with narrowed carotid arteries (with symptoms or no symptoms). It collects health and treatment information to better understand which patients benefit from procedures and when.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT02366221Enrolling by invitation
Study of long-term outcomes after complex arm or leg injuries
This study looks at how people do long-term after complex injuries to the arm or leg, after their usual care is finished. It may help doctors understand what outcomes to expect and improve future treatment planning.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT01730092Recruiting
Study of blood and imaging biomarkers in pulmonary artery hypertension
This study tracks natural changes in “biomarkers” (measurable signals in blood) and imaging findings in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) or suspected PAH. It also includes healthy people for comparison, helping researchers understand what these signals mean over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01375530Recruiting
Volunteers needed for future medical research testing
This trial is looking for adult volunteers who agree to have blood and/or tissue samples collected and stored for later studies. It may help researchers better understand the immune system and future treatments, although it is mainly a sample-storage study rather than a specific drug treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–60 - NCT01905826Recruiting
Study of GATA2 deficiency causes and health outcomes
This natural history study looks at how GATA2 deficiency (a genetic condition) affects health over time. It may help doctors better understand complications and plan future care, and it includes genetic testing and stored samples.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT01425892Recruiting
Study of how Sjogren’s disease starts and changes over time
This study follows people with Sjogren’s disease to understand how it develops and how symptoms naturally change over time. The goal is to improve understanding and future care rather than provide a new immediate treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 16–100 - 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 - NCT01386424Recruiting
Healthy adult check-in for future infectious-disease volunteer studies
This study enrolls healthy adults to help set up future research studies about infectious diseases. If you qualify, you may be asked to join later “healthy volunteer” experiments and allow your samples to be stored for future research.
