Participate in Research is designed to connect potential volunteers with open research studies. We are looking for volunteers just like you to help answer important questions about allergies and the immune system. This page lists studies that may apply to you or someone you know. If you find a study that you’d like to participate in, you can contact the study team with questions or to volunteer. Join us to improve the health of others.
The goal of this study is to learn more about the causes of asthma, particularly what underlies asthma symptoms and the reasons some people have asthma while others do not. As a part of this study, we are asking volunteers with and without asthma to…
First in human clinical trial of a next generation, long-acting injectable, combination anti-retroviral therapy platform. This study will look at drug levels in the blood over time and the safety of a single injection of a new investigational medicine that combines existing short-acting oral drugs…
The purpose of this study is to understand whether HIV medications can produce inflammation in the intestine (“your gut”) and affect the size of the HIV reservoir in people living with HIV. There are two study visits: General health assessment and medical history Endoscopy and…
The purpose of this clinical research study is to look at whether the investigational study drug, BLU-5937, works and how safe it is in adults with refractory chronic cough (RCC). This research study requires 20 visits over approximately 71 weeks. Subjects are required to wear…
The purpose of the University of Washington HIV Specimen Repository (UWHSR) is to collect specimens (primarily blood) from HIV infected persons and make these specimens available to investigators who are conducting research on the biological (primarily immunological and virological) correlates of clinical disease. Patients enrolled…
The purpose of this study is to understand why people have different susceptibility to infection, how the immune system fights infections, and differences between individual’s immune systems. We’re looking for people who have been diagnosed with tuberculosis or another Mycobacterium. Study procedures involve a blood…
The airspaces of our lungs are guarded by alveolar macrophages, which are very specialized infection-fighting cells that ingest and kill most inhaled bacteria and release substances that control inflammatory responses in the lungs. However, there are some bacteria that are able to survive and replicate...
The overall goal of this project is to study the inflammatory response of lung and blood cells to infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei. As a part of our study, we ask eligible individuals to undergo a blood draw and a bronchoscopy (a procedure to obtain cells…
Could cannabis help us treat HIV? Despite being undetectable, people living with HIV have ongoing inflammation, which is the body’s reaction to infection, a state where some of your immune cells remain constantly activated. As well, HIV damages the lining of your intestines soon after infection….
