Featured Studies

Researchers from the National Cancer Institute at the NIH Clinical Center are currently looking for patients who have HER2-expressing endometrial cancer. The purpose of the study is to test two investigational study drugs, a vaccine that targets HER2 (AdHER2DC) and a drug that is expected to improve immune cell function (N-803). These study drugs will be used with pembrolizumab and lenvatinib which are FDA approved to treat endometrial cancer.

Researchers at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, are conducting a study to evaluate the airway immunity in adults with a positive TB skin or blood test. With this study, researchers hope to discover better prevention and treatments for TB.

The research study aims to enhance the understanding of SCD and its associated complications by investigating the relationship between the disease and specific variations of certain genes. If you have SCD, your participation in this study is highly valuable. By participating, you will undergo an evaluation and receive recommendations from a team experienced in the treatment and management of SCD.

A study at NIH is recruiting healthy African Americans and African-born individuals to better understand diabetes and heart disease risk in Black populations. If you are African American or African-born Black between the ages of 18 and 70 years.

The risk of heart disease among African Americans is still common despite a greater understanding of the disease and better approaches to managing it. Healthy cooking and eating patterns can help reduce the risk of heart disease. But things like access to grocery stores and knowledge of good nutrition can affect these healthy patterns. Researchers at The National Institutes of Health want to see if community-based programs can help.
