Trial summary

This study investigates gene abnormalities in Primary Immune Deficiency(PID) with a goal of improving the diagnosis and treatment of patients. The specific disorders include: 1. X linked hyper IgM Syndrome which is caused by an abnormality in the CD40L gene. 2. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All patients must have a known or suspected immune defect with hyper-IgM syndrome and/or disorders of immunoglobulin production. There will be no limit on age, sex, race, or disability. Normal volunteers must be healthy adults between the age of 18 and 70 years. All study participants enrolled on to this study must agree to allow PI to store research samples. Refusal to let PI store samples may lead to withdrawal fro this specific study.

Who cannot join

  • The presence of an acquired abnormality, which leads to immune defects, such as HIV, chemotherapy, and malignancy are general exclusion criteria. Refusal to let us store samples may lead to withdrawal from this specific study. Other factors, which are in the judgment of the Principal Investigator PI that may interfere with patient evaluation or determine to pose an added risk for study participants are also criteria for exclusion.

About this study

This study investigates gene abnormalities in Primary Immune Deficiency(PID) with a goal of improving the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

The specific disorders include:

Read more
  1. X linked hyper IgM Syndrome which is caused by an abnormality in the CD40L gene.
  2. NEMO associated immune deficiency which is caused by an abnormality in a gene called NEMO.
  3. Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) which has an unknown genetic basis.
  4. Other disorders of immunoglobulin production.

This study will:

  1. Better characterize the clinical features of CD40 L deficiency and NEMO associated immune deficiency and other related primary immune deficiency syndromes.
  2. Determine the frequency of CD40 L and Nemo abnormalities.
  3. Determine whether particular abnormalities in these genes are associated with more of less severe illness or with specific symptoms.
  4. Explore the basic mechanism by which these altered genes cause immune dysfunction.
  5. Identify other genes causing low immune globulin levels and related primary immune deficient states.
Read the detailed description

This protocol is designed to study the genetics and pathophysiology of Hyper-IgM syndrome, NEMO associated immune deficiency, patients with related primary immune deficiency disorders, and the blood relatives of immunodeficient patients. Patients will undergo evaluations that include history/physical, blood sampling, genetic testing, and possible tissue sampling. Among the aims of this protocol are to better understand genetic factors that lead to defects in host defense, and to use modern and evolving methods in molecular and cellular biology to elucidate the pathogenesis of these diseases. A better understanding of primary immunodeficiency could allow for the rational development of novel therapies for such diseases and to benefit future patients, but it might not benefit current patients directly. Routine follow-up may occur every six months - with evaluation and blood sampling. Under some circumstances, we may provide treatment that relates to the immune deficiency. These treatments will follow standard medical practice.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyper-IgM Syndrome and Ectodermal Dysplasia, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00266513, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Oct 2017.
