Description of research participant types and planned sample collection, after screening and informed consent processCoPARC Research Biological Samples
Various types of biologic samples will be obtained from participants enrolled in consortium investigations. Please see the Past CoPARC Collaborator Research and Samples Collected Based on Participant Group Tab below
Ambulatory participants with alcohol use disorders or chronic cannabis use and healthy controls:
- Enrolled individuals will have sampling conducted in a clinical translational research center (CTRC) or similarly controlled setting. Bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and brushings will be performed by the principal investigator or her co-investigators, all of whom are pulmonologists.
Critically ill patients with respiratory failure (with and without COVID-19) or with burn injury:
- Enrolled patients will have data collection and sampling performed in an ICU setting, including information regarding alcohol history and drug use using validated questionnaires.
- Historical information will generally be collected from a proxy or surrogate of the patient, and will be confirmed by patients once capacity is regained. Data collection, as well as biologic sampling will be performed by trained personnel. Bronchoscopy will be performed by clinical personnel who have experience in performing this procedure.
