Overview

This protocol will be used to collect crucial components of the immune system from healthy volunteers for the characterization of immune cells in fresh blood. A pipeline has been set up for comprehensive immune phenotyping of both lymphoid and myeloid cells within 24 hours after blood withdrawal.

Description

In order to properly compare the immunobiology of healthy volunteers to (advanced) cancer patients, the investigators use age-matched controls with no history of cancer and no potentially interfering medication.

Healthy volunteers will be asked to donate 5 tubes of blood

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age above 35 years
  • Written informed consent
  • No history of cancer
  • No use of systemic immunosuppressive medication (eg. corticosteroids). Local use of corticosteroids (eg. topical or inhalation) is allowed.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Fever 14 days before blood withdrawal
  • Donated blood for the same program within the last 2 years
  • Pregnancy

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
