Understanding how rheumatic diseases develop over time
This research study follows people with known or suspected rheumatic diseases (like arthritis, lupus, or similar conditions) to learn how these conditions change and progress naturally. By tracking your health over time, researchers hope to better understand these diseases and improve treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01561157Recruiting
Long-term study of inherited porphyria conditions
This study follows people with diagnosed porphyria over time to learn more about the condition using past and new lab (biochemical) and genetic (DNA) test results. It may help researchers better understand how porphyrias work and support future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 1 minute+ - NCT00017914Recruiting
Understanding muscle inflammation: adult and juvenile myositis study
This research study helps doctors better understand myositis—a group of rare diseases that cause muscle inflammation and weakness. Researchers collect blood samples, medical history, and sometimes muscle biopsies to learn more about what causes these conditions and how to treat them better.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 2–100 - NCT00477100Recruiting
Breast cancer tissue and data registry for research
This trial helps create a research “tissue registry” by collecting breast cancer tissue samples and medical information. It may help doctors better understand inflammatory or invasive breast cancer and improve future studies.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT01503190Recruiting
Study of how breast cancer affects the immune system
This study looks at how the immune system changes in people with breast cancer, using patient tissue samples. It may help researchers understand immune responses in young women and guide future cancer treatments.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT00437879Recruiting
Ultrasound and MRI scans to track breast cancer response early
This study uses ultrasound and/or MRI scans to see how breast cancer responds early while you start “neoadjuvant” treatment (chemotherapy, with or without radiation before surgery). It may help doctors spot response sooner and better understand which imaging changes match treatment benefit.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT01630421Recruiting
Study genes behind aplasia cutis congenita (ACC)
This study looks at the genes and body effects behind aplasia cutis congenita (ACC). It is mainly for people who have ACC, and it may include unaffected family members only if they are part of a research family group.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges Any age - 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 - NCT00001456Recruiting
Understanding Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome: Research Study
This research study investigates Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS), a rare genetic condition affecting blood clotting and skin color. Researchers are looking for people with HPS or their family caregivers to participate in clinical evaluations and questionnaires to better understand the condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–115 years - NCT02050113Recruiting
Custom endograft repair for complex aortic aneurysms
This trial tests custom-made and doctor-modified grafts to treat complex bulges in the aorta (the body’s main artery) or the part going into the pelvis. It may help people who cannot use standard approved devices or who need treatment urgently because waiting is unsafe.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT01011712Recruiting
Study immune causes of severe viral infections
This study looks at why some people have severe or unusual viral infections, even when they do not have a known immune problem. It collects blood and tissue samples to better understand possible inherited immune issues and may help future diagnosis and treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT01848028Recruiting
German registry collecting data on new systemic psoriasis treatments
This study is a psoriasis registry that records real-world information about people starting a systemic (whole-body) treatment for the first time. It helps doctors understand how these treatments work in everyday care and may improve future treatment decisions.
HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT01510067Recruiting
Study of skin lupus types and how severe they are
This study looks at adults with cutaneous lupus (skin lupus) and/or systemic lupus (a whole-body autoimmune condition) to understand how common it is and how severe the skin symptoms become. It may help researchers better describe different skin lupus forms and their impact.
