Volunteers with Leukemia Needed

NHLBI researchers need volunteers with CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) for a new investigational treatment study. Researchers are adding pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy agent) to standard treatment. If you have received treatment for CLL and progressed or have high-risk genetic changes, such as deletion 17p, TP53 mutation, NOTCH1 mutation or complex cytogenics, you may be interested in participating.

NIDDK Study Seeks 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.
