NIH researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases are looking for healthy volunteers 18-29 living in the D.C., Maryland and Virginia areas to enroll in an investigational Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) vaccine clinical trial. If you are eligible, consider joining to help research into stopping the spread of EBV —the most common cause of infectious mononucleosis (mono) and associated with some cancers. For more information, contact the NIH Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY users dial 7-1-1), ccopr@nih.gov or visit https://go.usa.gov/xsYK5. Refer to study #21-I-0005.
The CLEAN-MED diet intervention study of the gut microbiome is a new study investigating how changes in our diet can affect our intestinal microorganisms and changes in the environment in the intestine. Healthy volunteers, 18-60 years old, are needed for this study. Participants will keep detailed food logs and provide stool, urine and blood samples throughout the study. Options include a nine-week or a yearlong study. Contact the NIH Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY users dial 7-1-1), ccopr@nih.gov or visit https://go.usa.gov/xJmwY.

Image alt text: Photo of man grabbing his abdomen with an outline of the liver National Cancer Institute researchers are conducting an imaging study on patients with Hepatocellular liver cancer (HCC). Consider joining this research study if your doctors have determined that you may have HCC based on previous standard imaging. Contact 240-858-7406 (TTY users dial 7-1-1), HCCreferrals@mail.nih.gov or visit https://go.usa.gov/xuh92. Refer to study #000080-C.
Do you drink Alcohol? Are you between the ages of 21 and 60? The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism invites volunteers, 21 - 60 years of age, to participate in a study researching if a gene and smoking affect drinking. Volunteers should be healthy and drug-free, and not seeking treatment for alcohol-related problems. Research participation includes three outpatient visits which consist of alcohol consumption, brain scans (MRI), blood draws and filling out questionnaires. There is no cost to participate and compensation up to $480 may be provided. To learn more, contact the NIH Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY users dial 7-1-1), ccopr@nih.gov or https://go.usa.gov/xp3zV. Refer to study #17-AA-0171.
Researchers at NIH seek healthy volunteers for an outpatient research study. The study aims to develop improved MRI techniques for studying brain function. The study will also look at new methods for monitoring blood flow to brain regions to understand normal and abnormal brain behaviors. Compensation will be provided. For more information, contact the Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY users dial 7-1-1), ccopr@nih.gov or visit https://go.usa.gov/xe7a2. Refer to study 00-N-0082.
Do you or someone you know have sickle cell disease? Researchers at the NIH Clinical Center are conducting a study to evaluate blood clotting in people with sickle cell disease and trait and need healthy African American volunteers. There is no cost for participation and compensation is provided. Contact the NIH Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY users dial 7-1-1), ccopr@nih.gov or read more online at https://go.usa.gov/xfvab. Refer to study #20-H-0068.
Researchers at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are now recruiting patients with sickle cell disease to participate in an observational study evaluating the impact of treatments intended to cure the disease. To learn more, contact the NIH Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY users dial 7-1-1), ccopr@nih.gov or visit https://go.usa.gov/xtSaK. Refer to study # 000479-H.
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute researchers need volunteers with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) for a vaccine study. Researchers are studying 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. Want to participate? Contact the NIH Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at 866-444-2214 (TTY user dial 7-1-1), ccopr@nih.gov or visit bit.ly/3SyrL1A. Refer to study number 000444-H.
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute invites volunteers ages 18-80 of African descent with or without sickle cell trait and patients with sickle cell disease to participate in a one-time visit research study. Volunteers will provide blood samples which will be used to look for a link between the PKLR gene and pyruvate kinase protein. The PKLR gene is active in the liver and in the red blood cells and helps to create protein called pyruvate kinase that is essential in normal functioning of the red blood cells. Compensation provided. For more information about study # 18-H-0146: call 866-444-2214 (TTY users dial 7-1-1), email ccopr@nih.gov or visit https://go.usa.gov/xP8Hx.
