Providing blood or tissue samples to study disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study collects and stores biological samples (like blood and cord blood) to help researchers understand what causes disease. You may be asked to provide samples during pregnancy, delivery, or from an affected person, depending on eligibility.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 1 month old
- Be willing and able to give informed consent (agree to participate)
- If you’re pregnant: you can join if you have known or suspected pregnancy-related illness, or if you become pregnant during the study
- If you’re an unaffected relative of an affected person: you may join only for cord blood or tissue collection at delivery
- If you have cognitive impairment: you can join if you are affected, or if you are a related family member of an affected person

This study collects blood (and sometimes tissue samples) from people who may have vascular (blood vessel) problems and from certain pregnant participants. Researchers use the samples to better understand vascular disease and to help guide future research.
This study collects tissue or blood samples from adults (and some healthy volunteers) to help researchers learn more and plan future studies. If you qualify, your samples may be used to test new ideas related to your health or for exploratory research.
This study collects blood and other samples from healthy volunteers, children, and people with infectious diseases to help advance research. If you join, you may donate blood, urine, or skin samples that will be stored and used in future studies.
This study creates a storage bank of biological samples like blood, stool, and tissue. Researchers will use these samples to learn how the body interacts with the natural microbes that live in and on us, which may help improve treatments for many diseases.
This study collects tissue samples from patients with cancer or blood disorders, and from their matching family members who might donate stem cells for transplant. The samples help researchers understand these diseases and develop better treatments.
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.
