This study looked at whether the HPV vaccine works in girls aged 9 to 17 who are taking medicines that weaken their immune system, such as after an organ transplant or for diseases like lupus. The goal was to see if their bodies produce enough antibodies to protect against HPV. T…

This study tests a new intravenous immunoglobulin (IGIV) called PlasmaCap IG in adults and children aged 2 to 70 with primary immune deficiency diseases (PIDD). Participants receive regular infusions of the therapy for 12 months. The goal is to see if it prevents serious bacteria…

This study checked the long-term safety of TAK-771 in 15 Japanese patients with primary immunodeficiency disease (PID). Participants received TAK-771 injections for up to 3 years. The main goal was to monitor side effects and immune reactions. The study is now complete.

This study tested a new intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment called Kedrion IVIg 10% in 47 people with primary immunodeficiency, a condition where the immune system cannot make enough antibodies. The goal was to see if regular infusions of this antibody therapy could preve…

This study looked at whether giving the antibiotic vancomycin helps cancer patients who have diarrhea and a positive screening test for C. difficile but a negative toxin test. Only 9 patients were enrolled, far fewer than planned. Researchers measured changes in C. difficile leve…

This early-stage study tested whether adding a drug called BMS-986004 to standard immune-suppressing medicine could help prevent acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 45 adults with blood cancers or disorders receiving a stem cell transplant. GVHD occurs when donor immune cel…

This study tested whether a hydrochloric acid lock can help treat central line infections in 212 cancer and blood disease patients. The acid solution was placed in the line for 10 minutes, repeated three times, alongside standard antibiotics. The goal was to see if it reduces tre…

This study tested a new medicine called TAK-881, a concentrated antibody solution given under the skin, in 65 people with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDD). The goal was to see how well the body absorbs it and if it is safe compared to an existing treatment (HYQVIA). Parti…

This study tested two different chemotherapy drugs (Treosulfan and Busulfan) given before a stem cell transplant in 106 children with serious non-cancer diseases like immune disorders, metabolic diseases, blood disorders, and bone marrow failure. The goal was to see which drug le…

This study looked at 50 patients who needed a stem cell transplant from a partially matched donor but had antibodies that could attack the donor cells. Before transplant, they received a blood purification treatment called protein A immunoadsorption to remove those antibodies, so…

This study looked at whether touch-massage can reduce anxiety in people with blood disorders (like leukemia or lymphoma) who are hospitalized in a sterile, isolated room. Sixty-two patients received three massage sessions, and researchers measured their anxiety levels before and …

This study tested a monthly online peer support group for young adults (ages 18-39) who had received a stem cell transplant. The group met for one hour over six months, led by a nurse and social worker. The goal was to see if the program was practical and helpful for reducing anx…

This study tested whether montelukast (Singulair), a common asthma drug, can reduce the number and severity of infusion reactions in people receiving monoclonal antibody treatments for blood disorders. Forty adults were given montelukast along with standard premedication before t…

This study looked for a virus called HHV6 in the skin and blood of 37 adults with blood cancers who developed a rash during hospital stays. The goal was to see if the virus is linked to the rash, which could help doctors diagnose and treat the rash more effectively. The study is …

This study analyzed DNA from 9 patients with primary immune deficiencies whose genetic cause was unknown. Researchers used whole exome or genome sequencing to look for new mutations that might explain their condition. The goal was to identify new inborn errors of immunity, which …

This study looked at whether it is safe to lower the number of platelets needed before placing a central line (a special IV) in patients with blood disorders. Normally, patients get a platelet transfusion if their count is below 50, but this study tested a lower trigger of 10. Th…

This study looked for hidden immune system problems in adults who get frequent or severe bacterial infections, like pneumonia or meningitis. Researchers screened 120 adults aged 18-65 to see how many had an undiagnosed primary immunodeficiency. The goal was to find out if these c…

This study looked at 99 women with primary immune deficiency to learn more about their pregnancies and birth outcomes. Researchers tracked infections during pregnancy and after birth, as well as how well contraception worked. The goal is to help doctors give better advice to wome…

This study investigates how obesity affects the way the body processes intravenous immune globulin (IVIG), a treatment for immune deficiencies. Researchers measured body composition and blood levels of IVIG in 40 obese and normal-weight patients to find the best dosing strategy. …

This completed study tested whether artificial intelligence and MRI scans could help automate the planning of total marrow irradiation, a type of radiation therapy given before a bone marrow transplant for blood cancers. Researchers aimed to reduce the 10-day planning time and be…

This study looked at over 1,200 people in Denmark who had a stem cell transplant for blood diseases, some as far back as 1970. Researchers used detailed surveys to measure late effects and quality of life. The goal is to find out what medical and personal factors help survivors f…

This completed study examined lung CT scans from 148 adults with blood diseases to identify common patterns of lung involvement. Researchers tracked how often certain radiological features appeared and counted complications. The goal was to better understand the range of lung iss…

This study collected blood, saliva, stool, urine, and skin samples from 19 people with unknown or poorly understood immune system problems. The goal was to learn how different parts of the immune system work together. No treatments or drugs were tested. Participants were followed…

This study looked at whether epidural or spinal anesthesia during childbirth leads to more infections in women with primary immunodeficiencies (weak immune systems). Researchers tracked 30 women from a national registry for 28 days after delivery to see if they developed serious …
