Study of OCD genes, proteins, and gut microbes
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at genes, blood/brain proteins, and gut microbes in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It may help researchers understand what drives OCD and how treatments could be better tailored in the future.

This study looks at what helps or gets in the way for people living with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) as they go through a clinical study process, including visits and required tests. Your experience could help improve how future studies are run and how patients are supported.
This trial looks for “biomarkers” (measurable signs in behavior or brain patterns) in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) while doing specific tasks. It may help researchers understand what makes OCD change over time and how treatments could be guided.
This study looks at obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children and young adults to better understand and document treatment and experiences. It may help researchers learn what supports work best for young people with OCD.
This study looks at brain signals to understand why OCD treatments may not work for some people. If you have OCD and are about to start OCD therapy, you may be invited to take part.
