Seeking Adults and Children With MDS or MDS/MPN
Dr. El Jurdi and her team at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are seeking adults and children aged 12 and older with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm (MDS/MPN) for a clinical research study. This clinical research study is evaluating the safety and effectiveness of an investigational drug, pacritinib. Parental consent is required for minors.
Hormone Replacement Therapy in Adolescents with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
Are you or someone you know affected by Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI)? POI happens when the ovaries stop working properly in young females, causing lower estrogen levels.
Oral Microbial and Immunological Characterization of Patients with Immune Dysfunction
Gum disease (periodontal disease) is being studied at the NIH Clinical Center. Researchers want to learn how a person's immune system affects the health of the mouth. If you have gum disease and want to learn how you can participate contact us.
Is Your Child Struggling To Sleep Through the Night? It Could Be Sleep Apnea, and NIH Researchers Are Working on New Ways To Help
The NIH Clinical Center is studying an investigational wearable device, not approved by the FDA, that children wear during sleep to measure oxygen levels and collect important information about their health. Your child's participation could help advance pediatric sleep research while receiving a no-cost research evaluation. Compensation provided.
A Biorepository of Multiple Allergic Diseases (MADREP) With Longitudinal Follow-Up
Are allergies holding you back from living life to the fullest? Dr. Paneez Khoury and her team at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases seek volunteers aged three and older (parental consent required for minors) with allergies or sinus disease. You don't need a confirmed diagnosis; Individuals with a history of or suspected allergic disease are also welcome.
Role of GABAergic Transmission in Auditory Processing in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Researchers are studying the brain's response to language and sound. This study uses a repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), an investigational form of brain stimulation, to measure how different parts of the brain communicate in teens with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Findings from this study may aid in the development of possible future treatments.
Evaluating the Genetics and Immunology of Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and Cervical Adenitis (PFAPA) Syndrome and Other Tonsil Disorders
Do you or your child experience recurring fever with mouth sores (canker sores), sore throat, or swollen neck glands? These could be symptoms of PFAPA, the most common periodic fever syndrome in children.
Dr. Manthiram and her team at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seek volunteers who are one month and older (parental consent required for minors) to participate in a research study to better understand PFAPA. Compensation provided. Participants can join from home anywhere in the USA or internationally.
Role of Genetic Factors in the Development of Lung Disease
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and over time limits the ability of individuals to breathe. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are studying the infection, disease progression, and abnormal genes responsible for cystic fibrosis to better understand the disease process and its effects on breathing.
Recruitment and Apheresis Collection of Peripheral Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells, Mononuclear Cells and Granulocytes
Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are investigating new techniques needed to develop gene therapy or other treatment for certain inherited immune system diseases. If you have an inherited disease that is affecting your blood or bone marrow cell that generate blood cells, you may be eligible to participate in this research study. Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination and blood and urine tests.
