ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on collecting skin samples using a small punch biopsy technique from patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) or congenital heart defects. The goal is to prepare for future treatments that these patients may qualify for in upcoming trials. By gathering these samples now, researchers hope to speed up the process of getting patients the treatment they need when they are matched with a new clinical study.

To participate in this trial, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have a diagnosis of congenital heart disease. They should also be likely to qualify for another clinical trial in the future. However, people who have had a heart transplant, are unable to give consent, or have certain infections like HIV or hepatitis cannot participate. If eligible, participants can expect a quick and simple procedure to collect the skin samples, which will help advance research and potentially lead to new treatment options for CHD.
