NCT ID NCT00182858

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study collects tissue samples like blood, urine, skin, and fat from both healthy volunteers and people with certain conditions. The goal is to give researchers the materials they need to better understand diseases and design future studies. Up to 5,000 adults aged 18 and older will participate, and samples will be coded to protect privacy.

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 study could provide researchers with valuable tissue samples to better understand diseases and design future studies that may lead to new treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a sample collection study, not a treatment trial. It is designed to support future research, so direct benefits to participants are unlikely.
