Trial Information

Tissue Procurement


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.


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

Type of Study:

Observational

Study Design:

Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective

Outcome Measure:

Exploratory studies for methods development and disease correlations

Outcome Time Frame:

Ongoing

Safety Issue:

No
