Official Title:   Tissue Procurement

Further study details as provided by National Institute on Aging (NIA):

Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA

Biospecimen Description:

blood, urine, saliva, sweat, pleural, pericardial, ascitic, synovial, cerebrospinal fluids


Estimated Enrollment:   5000
Study Start Date:   February 2003
Estimated Study Completion Date:   December 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date:   December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Detailed Description:

Researchers frequently need tissue samples (blood, urine, saliva, sweat, or other body fluid/tissue) to help them understand more about a particular disease or process. This protocol is designed to create the opportunity to obtain such samples that would otherwise be discarded during the course of usual clinical care, or alternatively to obtain such samples during patient screening for other studies.

  Eligibility
Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Identified by the investigator to have a condition of interest (cardiovascular disease, cancer, endocrine disease, neurological disease, arthritis, psychiatric disease) for exploratory studies related to the patient's illness or other feature that offers the possibility of generation of hypotheses for future studies

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unwilling to be subjected to diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures that are not necessary for clinical management
  • Excessive blood loss in this study plus other research participation and/or clinical evaluation that will result in blood loss of greater than 1 unit (400ml or 1 pint) over an 8 week period
  • Inability to give informed consent
