Study saliva and related diseases to learn health patterns
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at diseases that involve the salivary (saliva) glands, and may also include people with active hepatitis, oral cancer, or healthy adults. Researchers collect blood, urine, saliva, and sometimes tissue to better understand what’s happening and how these conditions relate to saliva and oral health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 4 years (or be a relative of someone with a salivary gland condition)
- You have a salivary gland disease or are worried you might have one, or fit another listed group (hepatitis, oral cancer treatment, or healthy volunteer)
- If you can participate as a healthy volunteer (18+), you must be willing to give samples (blood, urine, saliva, or tissue)
- You must be able to give consent (or have parent/guardian consent if a child)
- You should not have a serious other illness that would make study procedures hard to complete

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.
This study compares saliva, dental plaque, and stool samples from people with Sjogren's syndrome and healthy controls to understand how the mouth and gut bacteria differ. Participation is simple and involves providing samples during a dental visit and at home.
This study follows people who may have Sjögren’s disease to better understand how to diagnose it. If you have symptoms like dry eyes or dry mouth, this could help researchers confirm the diagnosis and learn what tests best explain it.
This study tests an experimental treatment made from a person's own blood cells, called HuMoSCs, to see if it can help reduce dryness and other symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome. It is for people who have symptoms of the condition but have not yet been officially diagnosed.
This study collects multiple types of samples (like blood, stool, saliva, and swabs) from healthy people. The goal is to optimize lab tests for future research, which may help doctors and scientists run more accurate immune-related measurements.
This study asks healthy adults to provide blood, bone marrow (if needed), skin, saliva, and stool samples. Scientists use these samples to compare patterns related to myeloid (bone-marrow) blood cancers, which may help future research and tests.
