Featured Studies

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research at the NIH Clinical Center is looking for volunteers who need to have their wisdom teeth removed. Researchers will evaluate people who need to have their wisdom teeth removed. The removed wisdom teeth will be studied and used for further research.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center seek adults with or without gum disease (periodontal disease) to join a research study. Doctors want to learn how a person's immune system affects the health of the mouth. Compensation will be offered.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are testing NX-2127, an oral drug that degrades a protein in cancer cells called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), instead of inhibiting or blocking it like other drugs. NX-2127 may also stimulate your immune T-cells to attack the cancer.

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek healthy volunteers for a research study that is collecting bone marrow samples from healthy adults. Samples will be used for clinical research in the Hematology Branch and are indispensable for many research projects, including studies of normal and abnormal blood cells in the human body, blood diseases, the role of the immune system in marrow failure; and the genetic risk factors for aplastic anemia.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Omega-7 fatty acids are found in the oil extracted from certain fish and nuts like macadamia. Palmitoleic acid is one of the most common omega-7 fatty acids. Many studies suggest that this oil is good for heart health. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) want to find out more about these potential benefits.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek healthy volunteers to provide blood samples for research studies of blood vessels and immune diseases that cause clotting. In this study, investigators want to understand the basis of these diseases to facilitate the development of better treatments.

Research Study 000444-H investigating how well the following vaccines work in patients with CLL/SLL malignancies: SHINGRIX and influenza vaccine. If you are currently receiving treatment for your CLL/SLL (e.g. ibrutinib, acalabrutinib or venetoclax), you may be able to participate.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health are investigating the role of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technologies as a monitoring tool for measuring oxygen levels, blood flow, and the make-up of skin and muscle in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). In this study, researchers will compare NIRS measurements in people with and without SCD.

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a research study to determine the viability and safety of early initiation of oral therapy with cyclosporine and eltrombopag in patients with severe aplastic anemia (SAA).
