About this study

Official title: Collection of Bone Marrow Aspirate From Volunteer Donors for In Vitro Hematopoietic Research

The purpose of this study is to collect bone marrow cells for research purposes.

Read the detailed description

This study is designed to provide bone marrow cells for other research studies. The research is being done because there are ongoing experiments in a number of National Institute on Aging (NIA) laboratories that require access to normal human bone marrow aspirate for their studies of the immune system. These studies are done to understand how blood cells are formed and how they function. Samples will be used to study problems such as the immune system in bone marrow failure and related conditions. Cells will be used in laboratory research and may be banked for future laboratory studies

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aging, run by National Institute on Aging (NIA) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00183066, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
