NCT ID NCT04706481
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study collects blood, tissue, and other samples from up to 10,000 people to create a biobank for research. The goal is to help scientists study the causes of diseases like cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Participants provide samples and basic health data, but no treatment is given. The biobank will support future studies that may lead to better diagnosis and care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this biobank could help scientists discover how diseases develop and find better ways to diagnose or treat them.
- What could go wrong
- This is a biobank, not a treatment trial. It only collects samples for future research, so it won't directly help participants or produce immediate results.
