Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Summary

This study is collecting blood, urine, and stool samples from 500 children with autoimmune diseases and healthy controls. Researchers will analyze these samples to find molecular patterns that could help diagnose these conditions and guide treatment decisions. The goal is to create a tool that doctors can use to personalize care for patients with autoimmunity and inflammation.

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 could lead to a tool that helps doctors diagnose and choose treatments for autoimmune diseases more accurately.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not testing a treatment. It may not directly improve patient outcomes, and the tool may take years to develop and validate.

Who is studied

Patients with PIDs and autoimmunity/inflammation related to known and unknown genetic defects (ALPS, Cytopenia, Enteropathy-IBD, pSLE, JIA, FHL, CA-EBV, CID) and their healthy relatives (controls) will be recruited in 2 clinical services of Necker hospital: Paediatric Rhumatology Immuno Hematology department Department, and paediatric Paediatric Gastroenterology department Department. Unrelated controls will be recruited in the Paediatric Rhumatology Immuno Hematology Department, the Paediatric Gastroenterology Department,also be recruited in the Department of Paediatric Visceral and Urologic Surgery and the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and Paediatric Plastic Surgery within patients hospitalised for a surgery and not affected by an immune-related disease or a cancer.
