Trial Now Recruiting: A National Registry For Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (NCT02461615)

Doctors are building a national database to collect information from 500 patients with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), a rare lung disease. This registry will help researchers better understand PAP, improve how doctors diagnose it, and test new treatments. Patients who join will have a voice in deciding what research gets done.

WHY IT MATTERSThis is an active recruitment opportunity for PAP patients to directly influence research priorities and gain access to new diagnostic tests and experimental therapies being evaluated through the registry.

Trial Now Recruiting: Human Biospecimen Procurement Protocol: Biorepository to Support Translational Research to Identify Disease Mechanism(s) (NCT02543996)

Researchers at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are collecting blood and tissue samples from up to 10,000 people to study rare genetic diseases. They want to understand what causes these diseases by examining the samples in a lab. People of any age with undiagnosed or heart and lung diseases can participate. Samples can be collected at the NIH Clinical Center or through your own doctor.

WHY IT MATTERSThis biorepository is actively recruiting and could help researchers identify the genetic causes of your undiagnosed condition, potentially leading to better treatments and diagnosis methods for rare diseases.
