Engagement does not equal endorsement. Advancing Clinical Research
About 1,600 clinical research studies are under way at the Clinical Center, most of them sponsored by the institutes and centers at NIH. These different institutes, centers and divisions study diseases such as cancer, AIDS, heart trouble, eye problems, dental problems, depression and nerve diseases, to name just a few. Protocols by Research Type
Clinical studies are medical research studies (or protocols) in which human volunteers participate. Clinical trials are studies developing or investigating new treatments and medications for diseases and conditions. Natural history studies investigate normal human biology and the development of a particular disease. Screening studies determine if individuals may be suitable candidates for inclusion in a particular study. Training studies provide an opportunity for staff physicians and other health-care professionals to follow particular types of patients. Please visit our database of studies for details on those studies. Or speak with one of the specialists in our patient recruitment office, 1-800-411-1222.

Are you or a loved one affected by CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarct and Leukoencephalopathy)? This genetic disorder narrows small blood vessels, potentially leading to strokes and dementia.

Our researchers at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) are dedicated to monitoring the progression of CADASIL over time to better understand its impact. We're looking for adults aged 18 and older, with CADASIL, to participate in our study.

📋 Participants will undergo a health assessment and evaluation, laboratory tests, an MRI of the brain, an eye exam, optional lumbar puncture, non-invasive tests of blood flow and tissue perfusion and cognitive testing.

Help us track the pulse of CADASIL! Join the quest to understand blood vessel changes in people with CADASIL.
