Identifying Immune Drivers of Gulf War Illness Using a Novel Daily Sampling Approach

Abstract

Since the last annual report, we have initiated further participant screening, participant enrollment and the study protocol.All start up subtasks have been completed. To date 329 potential participants have filled out the online screening questionnaire, 279 of those have been screened by telephone, and 19 have completed the protocol, 1 participant is currently running through the protocol and 1 participant withdrew. We expect to meet our end goal number during the next reporting period. After review of exclusionary and inclusionary criteria and the fact that our population is aging we decided to include participants with comorbid diabetes. We have been IRB approved to enroll participants with A1C>9 Screening and enrollment will continue as we work toward completing this study.
