Adults with Asthma Needed

NHLBI researchers seek adults with asthma to participate in a study to learn more about what causes persistent symptoms in some patients with asthma. To learn how to participate, call the Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 1-866-444-2214 (TTY 1-866-411-1010). Read more online at https://go.usa.gov/xnkTt. Refer to study 13-H-0059.

Patients with Kidney Cancer Needed

NHLBI researchers seek individuals with kidney cancer for a new treatment study using gene therapy. Gene therapy is a process of modifying a person’s immune system to create tumor-fighting cells to recognize and kill their cancer. Only renal cell carcinoma patients who test positive for HLA-A 11:01 will be eligible to participate. Study-related procedures, tests and medications are provided at no cost. For more information, call the Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment, 1-866-444-2214 (TTY 1-866-411-1010). Read more online at https://go.usa.gov/xnfkz. Refer to study 18-H-0012.

Study Needs Overweight Men

NIDDK researchers are seeking overweight/obese men, 18-50 years old, to participate in a study looking at a potential link between consumption of processed foods and the development of metabolic syndrome. Participants will be required to remain in the hospital for 1 month on 2 separate occasions and eat only the meals provided by NIH during that time. Compensation is provided.

Healthy Volunteers Needed

NIAID researchers are seeking healthy volunteers, 18-50, to participate in a respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) challenge study at the Clinical Center. RSV is the most common cause of respiratory and lung infection in infants and older adults. Researchers will use what they learn to test new antivirals and vaccines in the future. Compensation is provided. For more information, call 1-866-444-2214 (TTY 1-866-411-1010). Read more at https://go.usa.gov/xnpZD.

HIV Vaccine Study Needs Subjects

Vaccine Research Center researchers seek persons 18-60 years old who are living with HIV for a research study. The study evaluates an investigational product targeting the HIV virus to determine if it is safe and can generate an immune response. Compensation is provided. For more information, call 1-866-444-1132 (TTY 1-866-411-1010) or email vaccines@nih.gov. Se habla español.
