New registry aims to unlock mysteries of rare histiocyte disorders
NCT ID NCT03329274
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study creates a registry for people with Erdheim-Chester disease and related histiocytoses. Researchers will collect medical information and patient experiences over time to better understand these rare conditions. Up to 500 participants will be enrolled, and some may be asked to complete a brief phone interview. The goal is to capture comprehensive data on symptoms, treatments, and quality of life.
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 registry could help doctors better understand how histiocytoses progress and respond to treatments, potentially guiding future care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any new therapy, so it may not lead to immediate changes in care.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of Erdheim-Chester Disease, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, Rosai Dorfman disease, or another histiocytic neoplasm by either 1) documented histopathologic establishing ECD or HN or 2) documented histopathologic findings compatible with Erdheim-Chester disease or HN in the context of corroborating clinical and/or radiologic findings or 3) documented radiologic findings, in the absence of a biopsy having been performed or yielding evaluable tissue, that are felt by the Principal Investigator to unequivocally represent an ECD/HN diagnosis given the clinical context or 4) self reported with supporting documentation upon medical record collection. * Proficiency in English, in the determination of the Investigator or by self report. * Willing to have historical and future HN-related health records sent to Registry review. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients unwilling to sign consent. * Participants under the age of 18.
