Clinical trials and volunteer studies are a vital and critical component of disease research. Through these trials Fred Hutch researchers make new discoveries that lead to new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose or treat many diseases. Many of today's most effective treatments are based on the results of past trials and studies.
Our researchers are conducting a number of therapeutic and non-therapuetic COVID-19 studies including treatment trials, observational studies and vaccine trials.
Each year, hundreds of trials are conducted by scientists at Fred Hutch, the University of Washington, and Seattle Children’s for a number of diseases. Patients enrolled on a clinical trial could benefit from the latest treatments available and will receive care through the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA), our clinical care partner.
Volunteer participation in clinical trials and observational studies is vital to disease research. No matter how promising a new drug, vaccine or procedure looks when tested in the laboratory or on animals, it cannot be approved for general use in humans until it has been carefully evaluated through several phases of clinical study that include volunteer participants. Observational studies are also crucial to determining cause and effect in human health, including how behavior, lifestyle, genetic factors and other traits may help prevent disease or contribute to disease risk. Some of our studies seek healthy participants for prevention research that may involve dietary changes, vitamin supplementation, increased physical activity or adoption of other health-promoting behaviors.
The Acute Effects of Exercise on Breast Cancer Biomarkers (ACE Study) will test the effect of one 45-minute bout of moderate intensity exercise on cancer risk factors in healthy women.
Fred Hutch Survivorship Program is recruiting young adult cancer survivors to a study to learn more about the impact of cancer therapy on employment and work-related quality of life.
Fred Hutch is recruiting patient with leukemia or related blood disorders who have relapsed after blood or marrow transplant to a phase 1 treatment study. Eligible participants may be offered a new type of cell therapy.
The study is testing an infusion of REGN-COV2, a combination of two antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to see whether they can: (1) decrease the amount of virus in the body; (2) decrease the length of time the virus is in the body; and (3) decrease the length and severity of COVID-19 illness. The antibodies in this study cannot give you SARS-CoV-2.
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of remdesivir (RDV) in reducing the rate of hospitalization or death in non-hospitalized participants with early stage COVID-19 and to evaluate the safety of RDV administered in an outpatient setting.
This is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study to determine if a drug called fluvoxamine can be used early in the course of the COVID-19 infection to prevent more serious complications.
We are conducting a dietary intervention study which looks at the effects of a healthy diet on pain levels in people with endometriosis. We are looking for participants who may be assigned to either an intervention arm (healthy diet) or control arm (regular diet) for a 12-week period.
We are enrolling HIV-negative volunteers for a number of HIV vaccine studies. The products used in our trials are not produced from live HIV or from HIV-infected human cells and cannot cause HIV infection.
We are recruiting participants for a study of the immune system. Help us learn how the immune system of healthy individuals and patients with compromised immune systems respond to an inactivated vaccine.
We are working to develop vaccines and medicines to prevent and limit malaria. To do this, we need healthy volunteers to take part in our clinical research studies. Read the general criteria and use our screening tool to see if you qualify for a study.
Prostate Cancer Active Lifestyle (PALS) is enrolling volunteers with low-grade prostate cancer who have chosen active surveillance of their disease. The goal is to learn whether weight loss through diet and exercise can slow the progression of prostate cancer.
Fred Hutch Survivorship Program is recruiting childhood transplant recipients, parents and caregivers to a study to lean more about what is easy or hard when returning to school after a transplant.
