This study is looking for the genes that cause certain immune system problems. Researchers want to understand why some people get sick and others don't, even in the same family. Up to 5,000 people with immune disorders and their relatives will give blood or cheek cell samples for…

This study will analyze DNA from up to 20,000 people, including those with immune disorders and their relatives, to find genetic variants linked to conditions like atopy, autoimmunity, and primary immunodeficiency. Researchers will also study how best to return genetic results to…

This study aims to learn more about how diseases related to blood clots, the immune system, and blood vessels start and change over time. Researchers will enroll up to 1,000 people aged 5 and older, including those with these conditions, their healthy relatives, and healthy volun…

This study is measuring a protein called STIM1 on the surface of immune cells in 670 people with various autoimmune diseases. The goal is to find which diseases have high levels of this protein, which could help researchers develop new antibody-based treatments. Participants prov…

This study looks for better ways to detect lung inflammation and infections early in people who have received a stem cell transplant from a donor. About 40 participants aged 5 to 70 will get regular lung scans, breathing tests, blood draws, and a procedure where a tube collects f…

This study is analyzing the exhaled breath of 5,000 people with lung or airway diseases to find unique molecular patterns. The goal is to better identify and distinguish different respiratory conditions and improve disease management. Participants simply provide breath samples, a…

This study aims to find new genes that cause pituitary tumors, including those that lead to acromegaly (gigantism) and prolactinomas. Researchers will collect blood and tissue samples from up to 10,000 people with these tumors and their family members. By analyzing DNA, they hope…

This study aims to see if analyzing the chemicals in a child's breath can help diagnose and monitor diseases like asthma, neurological disorders, and type 1 diabetes. Researchers will collect breath samples from up to 3,600 children and teens to find patterns linked to these cond…

This study creates a registry and biorepository of lung images and biological samples from 100 people with pulmonary disease. Researchers will use this information to better understand imaging biomarkers and develop new analysis methods for CT and MRI scans. Participants must alr…

This study collects and freezes testicular tissue from boys and young men who are at risk of becoming infertile due to cancer, autoimmune disorders, or their treatments. The tissue is stored in a research bank, with the hope that future medical advances will allow it to be used t…

This study will follow 1000 adults for up to 10 years, using a special type of CT scan (photon-counting) to look for lung nodules, tumors, and other lung conditions. Researchers will also use artificial intelligence to create a virtual copy of each person's lungs, called a 'digit…

This study measures how hard children with conditions like neuromuscular disease, scoliosis, or heart problems work to breathe. Researchers use a thin tube placed through the nose into the esophagus to measure breathing muscle strength and effort. The goal is to better understand…

This study is testing a tool called B-COMPASS that uses a 22-question survey to predict whether people will follow their prescribed treatments. Researchers will enroll 3100 adults with cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, nerve, cancer, or rare diseases across Europe. The goal is t…

This study creates a national registry for people with pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP), a rare lung condition. Researchers will collect data and blood samples to improve diagnosis, understand how the disease progresses, and develop better ways to measure its severity. Up to …

This study uses donated human lungs to develop a standard method for a new freezing catheter that can take tissue samples (biopsy) and destroy abnormal tissue (ablation). Researchers will test different freezing times and temperatures to find the safest and most effective techniq…

This study looks at 320 adults who are about to start strong immune-suppressing therapy and have already had at least two COVID-19 shots. Researchers want to find out if giving a COVID-19 booster right before starting therapy or waiting six months provides better protection. Part…
