NCT ID NCT00895271
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study collects small skin samples from people with primary immunodeficiency or immune regulation disorders, as well as from healthy volunteers. Researchers will use these cells to create cell lines for laboratory research. The goal is to better understand immune diseases and explore possibilities for personalized gene therapies in the future.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could help develop personalized gene therapies for immune diseases in the future.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage tissue collection study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to any therapy, and results are years away.
