Scientists seek answers for rare immune disorder
NCT ID NCT00006150
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This study aims to learn more about Hyper IgE syndrome, a rare immune disorder that causes skin and lung infections. Researchers will follow 600 patients and their relatives over time, examining their health and genetics. The goal is to better understand the disease and improve care, not to test a new treatment.
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 study could lead to better diagnosis, management, and understanding of Hyper IgE syndrome, potentially guiding future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly improve health for participants, and results may take years to translate into clinical practice.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
* INCLUSION CRITERIA: Patients may be included in this study who: * Were referred to the NIH with a diagnosis or a suspicion of Hyper IgE syndrome. * Are patients referred for other immune syndromes that demonstrate some of the characteristics of HIES. * \>=1 month for affected subjects * Aged \>=2 years for unaffected subjects * For unaffected subjects, are able to understand and have the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Unaffected biological relatives of HIES patients are also eligible to enroll in a separate relative cohort. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Coronary CTA will not be performed on any patient younger than 30 years or with contraindication to IV contrast media. This includes patients with 1) creatinine value of \>1.3 mg/dL, 2) history of multiple myeloma, 3) Use of metformin-containing products less than 24 hours prior to contrast media, and 4) history of significant allergic reaction to CT contrast agents despite the use of premedication. Subjects with a medical, psychiatric, or social condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would place undue burden on the subject, NIH resources, or increase risk of participation, may be excluded.
