Study
Brugada Syndrome at Home Research
Location: Nationwide
Compensation: $100
Length: 30 MINUTES
The goal of this research is to allow researchers to enhance our understanding of Brugada Syndrome, in support of developing new diagnostic and treatment options for patients living with this condition.
You may qualify if you:
- Subjects who are diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome with diagnosis confirmed by a cardiologist and including a coved-type ST elevation of ≥2mm documented in at least one lead from V1 to V3, positioned in the second, third, or fourth intercostal space.
- Subjects ages 18-70
You may not qualify if you:
- Subjects who have documented cardiomyopathy or structural cardiac abnormalities in medical records
- Subjects who have a life expectancy of less than 12 months
- Subjects who are currently taking immunosuppressive medications, including but not limited to corticosteroids. A washout period of 2 weeks is required for corticosteroids, though the use of topical corticosteroid creams and NSAIDs are permissible.
- Subjects who are currently nursing or have been nursing in the past 3 months (unless blood volume request is 60ml or less).
- Subjects with a confirmable diagnosis of any medical condition that would increase potential phlebotomy risks and lower the maximum allowable blood volume drawn to 60mL or less.
- Subjects who are currently pregnant.
- Subjects who have received a blood product within 30 days before the study blood draw.
- Subjects who have donated a unit of blood (approximately 450ml) within 2 months of the study blood draw.
- Subjects who have donated 250ml within 1 month of the study blood draw.
- Subjects who have received an investigational (unapproved) drug within 30 days before the study blood draw.
- Subjects who have active HIV, hepatitis, MRSA, or tuberculosis (TB).
- Subjects who have been pregnant in the last 9 months (unless blood volume request is 60ml or less).
How It Works
It’s a simple three-step process
Step 1: Tell us about yourself
Submit a health profile by answering basic questions about your medical history.
Step 2: See if you qualify
Speak with a research coordinator to learn more about what is required to participate.
Step 3: Participate from Home
Complete study requirements from Home with the help of our mobile health staff.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can withdraw from the study or decline participation at any time for any reason.
All of our studies and staff are HIPAA compliant and follow all state and federal regulations. We keep your information confidential. Check out our privacy and protection policies to learn more.
Yes. However, to participate in most studies, you will need to provide proof of your diagnosis. Even if you are not currently seeing a physician, you can still sign an authorization for Medical Record Release from your former physician that can serve as proof of diagnosis. Previous medical records can serve as proof of diagnosis.
We may ask you to sign a Release of Medical Records so that we can provide researchers with the data they need to conduct as comprehensive of a study as possible. Your de-identified medical information will help translate laboratory results from collected samples into clinical information that may be used to develop new therapies and/or diagnostics.
No. We collect blood and other samples from donors in order to provide scientists with quality samples for their research. We do not perform diagnostic tests.
