Can a natural antioxidant tame inflammation in rare immune disorder?

NCT ID NCT07433621

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether quercetin, a natural antioxidant found in foods, is safe and can reduce inflammation in male patients with XIAP deficiency, a rare genetic immune disorder. Twelve participants will take oral quercetin daily. The main goals are to check for side effects and see if the drug is tolerable, with a secondary look at how the body processes it.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a way to manage inflammation in XIAP deficiency, potentially improving daily life for patients.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small pilot study with only 12 participants. It primarily tests safety, not effectiveness, and quercetin may not reduce inflammation as hoped.
