Bone Marrow Collection for Healthy Aging Research
This observational study aims to collect bone marrow from healthy volunteers to help researchers understand how progenitor cells (young, immature cells that develop into blood cells) change as people age. There are no specific interventions or drugs being tested. The main goal is to gather bone marrow samples for other research studies. You might be eligible if you are a healthy male or female, aged 18 or older, can speak and read English, and your health history questionnaire doesn't show active infection or HIV risk. The study is currently recruiting up to 2000 participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study planning to enroll 2000 healthy volunteers. It is not testing a specific drug or treatment.
- What's involved
- You will complete a health questionnaire, have a physical exam, and undergo blood tests. You will also have a bone marrow aspirate procedure, where a small amount of fluid is taken from your hip bone.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint is the collection of bone marrow aspirate, measured at a longitudinal study. This suggests ongoing follow-up related to the samples.
