Scientists dig deep into immune system mysteries
NCT ID NCT03422614
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to better understand primary immune deficiencies (PID), a group of diseases where the immune system doesn't work properly. Researchers will collect blood, stool, urine, and tissue samples from 300 people with PID and healthy volunteers to analyze immune responses. The goal is to identify new targets for future treatments, including possible gene therapies.
