Healthy Participants Needed for Cystic Fibrosis Research
Phase: Recruiting
Condition(s): Cystic Fibrosis
What Is the Purpose of This Study?
Researchers at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and their collaborators need blood samples from healthy individuals in order to do research and learn more about cystic fibrosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary disorder affecting the lungs and many other systems in the body. Researchers need blood samples from healthy individuals to compare to those who have CF. The samples will be stored so researchers can learn how CF affects patients as they grow and undergo repeated treatment.
Who Can Take Part in This Study?
Any healthy individual who does not have cystic fibrosis (CF) and is not a known carrier of the CF gene mutation.
What Will Happen During This Study?
Participants will visit Nationwide Children’s Hospital one time for approximately 20 minutes, where a blood sample will be collected. Participants may also be asked to provide additional optional samples, such as hair or throat swabs, at this visit or at other times.
Will We Be Paid for This Study?
No, participants will not be paid.
