Scientists launch major study to track viruses in healthy and immunocompromised patients

NCT ID NCT01306084

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study aims to collect samples and medical information from people of all ages who have or have been exposed to viral infections, including COVID-19 and herpes. Researchers want to understand how viruses affect healthy individuals versus those with weakened immune systems. Participants will provide blood, saliva, nasal swabs, and other samples over time, but no treatment is offered as part of this study.

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 research could improve our understanding of how viruses behave and evolve, potentially guiding future treatments or vaccines.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It does not test any new drug or therapy, so direct patient benefits are unlikely.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA 1. The protocol is open to people of all ages; 1. Only patients greater than or equal to 2 years of age can be enrolled at the Clinical Center. 2. Patients who are less than 2 years old may be enrolled only remotely and will not be seen at the Clinical Center. 2. a. Persons having (or be suspected of having) a viral infection that is of interest to LID investigators. b. Persons that are a close contact of someone who has (or is suspected of having) a viral infection that is of interest to LID investigators or is about to receive or have recently received a viral vaccine. c. Persons that may have had a recent viral infection that is of interest to LID investigators that has since cleared d. Healthy persons who will serve as controls for (a), (b), or (c) above. These persons will be 18 years of age or older and able to provide informed consent. 3. Adults who are unable to provide initial consent may be enrolled providing procedures per Human Research Protections Program (HRPP) Policy 403 have been followed. 4. Only subjects that are NIH employees or contractors who work at NIH will be enrolled in the COVID19 antibody cohort study on this protocol. EXCLUSION CRITERIA 1. Patients who are unable to safely undergo study procedures and tests. 2. Patients unwilling to have samples collected and stored for future use. 3.
