Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. It can often spread to the liver, lungs, bones, or brain. Breast cancer that spreads to the brain is often fatal. Researchers want to know if tumor DNA found in spinal fluid, blood, or tumor tissue can help predict when the cancer will spread to the brain. They want to collect these fluid and tissue samples for research. Objective: To collect spinal fluid and other samples from people with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with HER2-positive or triple negative breast cancer. The cancer must have spread to other parts of the body but not to the brain. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests to assess kidney function. They will have an imaging scan of the brain. Participants will come to the NIH clinic to have their samples collected: - Spinal fluid. A thin needle will be inserted into the lower back to draw out a sample of fluid from the space around the spinal cord. A physical exam and blood tests will be done to make sure it is safe for participants to have this procedure. - Blood. - Saliva or cheek swabs. They will rub a cotton swab inside of their mouth. - Tumor samples. If participants have had samples of tumor tissue (biopsies) collected in the past, leftover tissue may be used for this study. Participants will be contacted for follow-up every 6 months for 3 years. They may return once a year to provide further samples. Type: Observational Start Date: Sep 2026 |

The purpose of this research study is to look at genes and determine how they interact with each other to find changes that could explain why some people's immune systems may respond to blood transfusions. This response is called an alloimmune response. We strongly believe that when someone has an alloimmune response, it is caused by changes in their genes. We plan to compare changes in the genes of individuals that develop red blood cell alloimmunization after blood transfusions with those that do not develop alloimmunization. This may help us to create more targeted therapeutic interventions, which may improve the health of alloimmune responders. Type: Observational Start Date: Jun 2025 |

This study collects specimens from volunteers for use in studies by NIAID's Vaccine Research Center. A number of different types of specimens or samples can be collected, including blood, urine, body fluids or secretions, skin swabs, or skin biopsies. The samples are used for medical research, including the study of HIV, hepatitis, and other diseases; immune system responses, such as responses to vaccinations or infections; and for research on vaccine development. Blood samples may be collected either by ordinary blood drawing (phlebotomy) or by apheresis, a procedure for collecting a larger quantity of blood cells or plasma than would be possible through simple blood drawing. For this procedure, the participant lies on a recliner or couch. Blood is removed through a needle in the vein of one arm and spun in a machine that separates out the desired component (plasma or white blood cells). The remainder of the blood is returned either through the same needle or through a needle in the other arm. The procedure takes about 1 to 3 hours. Volunteers who are 18 years of age and older, including participants in other NIH research protocols, may be eligible. Individuals who have a condition that the research staff considers a reason not to make a sample donation will be excluded from the study. Participants may have only one sample collected or may be asked to undergo repetitive sample collection procedures, depending upon the requirements of the particular research project for which the samples are being collected. Each individual's enrollment is for a 1-year period, which can be extended. Type: Observational Start Date: Sep 2003 |

Background: - A number of rare inherited diseases affect only a few patients, and the genetic causes of these conditions remain unknown. Researchers are studying the use of a new technology called genome sequencing to learn which gene or genes cause these conditions. Understanding the genes that cause these diseases is important to improve diagnosis and treatment of affected patients. Objectives: - To identify the genetic cause of disorders that are difficult to identify with existing techniques. - To develop best practices for the medical and counseling challenges of genome sequencing. Eligibility: - Individuals who have one of the rare disorders under consideration in this study. These conditions are generally those in which the genetic cause of the disorder is unknown. The eligibility of most individual participants will be decided on a case-by-case basis by the researchers. - Family members of affected individuals, if that family member (often a parent) may provide genetic information. Design: Participants in this study will have at least one and in some cases several of the following procedures: - A medical genetics evaluation. - Other tests that may include x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams, and consultations with other doctors. Not all studies are necessary for each person, but the information from the tests may be required to proceed with some of our gene sequencing studies. - Clinical photographs to document certain aspects of the disorder. - Blood, saliva, and skin biopsy samples, or other tissue samples, as required by the study doctors. - Genetic testing, as decided by the researchers. However, most participants in this study can expect to undergo genome sequencing, which is a technique to study all of a person s genes. - Participants will have choices about what kinds of results from genome sequencing they wish to learn. - After the tests have been completed and the results of the genetic studies are known, participants may be offered a return visit to the National Institutes of Health to learn these results, or the results may be returned by telephone or by a participant's home provider.

Study rationale High risk patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) require therapy with 131 I under thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation. There are two methods of TSH stimulation endogenous by thyroid hormone withdrawal (THW) leading to hypothyroidism and exogenous by injection of human recombinant TSH (rhTSH Thyrogen). The appropriate 131-I activity utilized for treatment is either based on empiric fixed dosage choice or individually determined activity based on 131 I dosimetric calculations. Although dosimetry utilizing radioactive iodine isotope 131 I enables calculation of maximum safe dose, it does not estimate the tumoricidal activity necessary to destroy the metastatic lesions. The alternative radioactive isotope of iodine -124 I, used for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, might be used for calculation not only the maximum safe131 I dose, but also to predict the absorbed dose in the metastatic lesions. Study objectives The primary objective of this study is to compare the 124 I -PET/CT lesional and whole body dosimetry in each individual patient with metastatic radioiodine (RAI)-avid thyroid cancer under preparation with rhTSH and THW. The secondary objective is to evaluate the predicted by PET/CT lesional uptake with the early response to therapy. Study design This is a phase 2 pilot prospective cohort study comparing the lesional and whole body dosimetry within each patient undergoing exogenous (rhTSH) and endogenous (THW) TSH stimulation and followed for 5 years. Interventions Each study participant will undergo rhTSH and THW-aided 124 I-PET/CT dosimetric evaluations and will be subsequently treated with THW-aided RAI activity based on dosimetric calculations enabling maximum safe dosage. The patients will be followed in 12+/-3 months intervals for 5 years. Sample size and population This pilot study will include 30 patients with high risk differentiated thyroid cancer presenting with distant and/or loco-regional metastases.

Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) is an inherited disease which results in decreased pigmentation (oculocutaneous albinism), bleeding problems due to a platelet abnormality (platelet storage pool defect), and storage of an abnormal fat-protein compound (lysosomal accumulation of ceroid lipofuscin). The disease can cause poor functioning of the lungs, intestine, kidneys, or heart. The major complication of the disease is pulmonary fibrosis and typically causes death in patients ages 40 - 50 years old. The disorder is common in Puerto Rico, where many of the clinical research studies on the disease have been conducted. Neither the full extent of the disease nor the basic cause of the disease is known. There is no known treatment for HPS. The purpose of this study is to perform research into the medical complications of HPS and begin to understand what causes these complications. Researchers will clinically evaluate patients with HPS of all ethnic backgrounds. They will obtain cells, blood components (plasma), and urine for future studies. Genetic tests (mutation analysis) to detect HPS-causing genes will also be conducted.<TAB> Type: Observational Start Date: Nov 1995 |

The purposes of this study are to 1) identify the genes responsible for certain immune disorders, 2) learn about the medical problems they cause, and 3) learn how to predict who is likely to develop these disorders and what the risk is of passing them on to children. The immune system is the body s defense system. Some immune deficiencies impair a person s ability to fight infections; others render a person susceptible to allergies, or to autoimmune diseases such as lupus or arthritis, in which the immune cells (white blood cells) attack and destroy the body s own tissues. Patients with immune disorders known or suspected to have a genetic basis and their family members may enroll in this study. Eligibility will be determined by a review of the patient s medical records and family medical history. Participants will provide a small blood sample for genetic (DNA) and white blood cell analysis. Gene samples (but not white blood cells) may also be obtained by mouth brushing or skin biopsy. For the mouth brushing, a small brush is rubbed against the inside of the cheeks for 1 minute to wipe off some cells. For the skin biopsy, a small circle of skin (about 1/8 inch) is removed under local anesthetic. Pregnant women may be asked to provide a fetal sample (amniotic fluid cells or chorionic villus sample). All samples will be used for immune or genetic studies of the family s immune disorder. If test results show a specific genetic variation responsible for the family s immune disorder, a report will be sent to the patient s doctor or genetic counselor, who will discuss the implications for the family. NIH researchers and genetic counselors will also be available to explain results and answer questions. Information will not be available in the case of disorders that cannot yet be linked to a specific genetic abnormality. Information from this study will increase knowledge about the immune system and what causes immune deficiencies. Participants may also learn the underlying cause of an immune disorder that affects them or someone in their family information may be useful in guiding treatment and in making decisions regarding family planning....

This Phase 1, open-label study will evaluate two investigational radiopharmaceuticals in adults with selected advanced or metastatic solid tumors. SKL35502 is an imaging agent used with SPECT scans to identify tumors with neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1), a protein found on some cancer cells, and to assess where the agent travels in the body and the radiation dose delivered to tissues. Participants with sufficient SKL35502 tumor uptake may receive SKL35501, a treatment designed to deliver targeted alpha radiation to NTSR1-expressing tumor cells. Part A will evaluate the safety and imaging performance of SKL35502 and the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, dosimetry, and biologically active dose range of SKL35501, as well as preliminary antitumor activity. Part B will further evaluate selected SKL35501 dose levels, including randomized low- and high-dose groups in participants with colorectal cancer, and will expand evaluation in selected tumor types. The study will also examine relationships among SKL35502 imaging, NTSR1 expression, SKL35501 tumor uptake, and treatment outcomes. Type: Interventional Start Date: Aug 2026 |

WorkoutCPP is a pilot study evaluating the feasibility of a personalized exercise recommendation system for individuals with chronic pelvic pain disorders (CPPDs). The study uses reinforcement learning (RL), a type of artificial intelligence that adapts recommendations over time based on each participant's reported pain levels, symptom burden, and exercise compliance. Participants receive daily exercise recommendations that alternate between standard, non-personalized guidance and personalized, RL-generated recommendations across four 2-week phases, allowing within-person comparison of outcomes under each condition. The primary hypothesis is that an RL-based adaptive recommendation system is feasible to deliver in a CPPD population. Type: Interventional Start Date: Feb 2026 |
