Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–120 - NCT01386437Recruiting
Study immune problems and fungal infections
This study looks at how immune system problems relate to fungal infections, using medical records and lab tests on blood and tissue. It may help researchers understand the cause of these infections—especially for people with inherited immune conditions—and improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT06169150Recruiting
Studying nervous system issues in immune disorders
This study looks for and tracks nervous system problems in people with immune system disorders. It aims to better understand how infections or inflammation affect the brain and nerves in these patients.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT00794352Recruiting
Studying immune brain and nerve conditions with tests and samples
This study looks at how immune-related brain or spinal cord illness shows up using exams, MRI scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture), plus collected blood and other samples. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–99 years - NCT00404560Recruiting
Blood tests to study infection risk and immune problems
This study looks at how the immune system works in people who have—or might have—an increased risk of infections. It also enrolls their healthy blood relatives so researchers can compare immune features; results may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and why.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT02579967RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant for primary immune system disorders
This study tests whether an allogeneic stem cell (bone marrow) transplant can correct an inherited immune problem in people with severe primary immunodeficiencies. It may help reduce life-threatening infections and improve quality of life, depending on your overall health and donor match.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–75 - NCT04339777RecruitingPhase 2
Bone marrow transplant for inherited immune system disorders
This trial studies how well a donor bone marrow (stem cell) transplant works for people with inherited immune system problems (called immune deficiencies). It’s for patients who haven’t improved with usual treatment or don’t have another good option.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4–69 - NCT01132859Recruiting
Study of how immune cells respond in adults
This study looks at how your body’s immune system reacts in different tissues by collecting and storing samples for research. You might be able to join if you’re an adult and can consent, and if you don’t have certain bleeding risks that could make sample collection unsafe.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05036707RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study how tick bites change immune responses
This study looks at how a person’s immune system responds after exposure to Ixodes (black-legged) tick bites. It aims to better understand the body’s early immune reaction after tick exposure, using blood tests and small skin samples.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT06032923RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Does vitamin B3 boost help lupus symptoms?
This study tests whether a form of vitamin B3, called nicotinamide riboside, can improve immune function and reduce inflammation in women with mild to moderate lupus. It may help understand if boosting NAD+ levels offers a new way to manage the disease.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01568697Recruiting
Studying gum disease in people with immune and genetic differences
This study looks at how mouth bacteria and the immune system may work together to cause gum disease (periodontitis), especially in people with certain genetic immune problems. It may help researchers understand what drives severe gum disease and how to better monitor or treat it in the future.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–100 - NCT02257892Recruiting
Study of rare immune system genetic disorders
This study looks for genetic causes of immune problems, such as unusually frequent infections, abnormal allergies, or autoimmune or inflammation conditions. It may help by improving how doctors understand these disorders and by matching families with possible genetic diagnoses.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT00006150Recruiting
Understanding Hyper-IgE Syndrome: Natural History and Genetics
This study follows people with or suspected Hyper-IgE syndrome (a rare immune disorder causing repeated infections and skin problems) to understand how the condition develops, how best to manage it, and which genes are involved. Researchers also welcome healthy relatives of patients to help identify genetic patterns.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–120 years - NCT02435810Recruiting
Study of infections and inflammation affecting the nervous system
This study looks at how infections or inflammation involving the brain and spinal cord work, using patient data and samples. It may help researchers better understand these illnesses and improve future care.

Understanding eosinophil behavior in rare blood and tissue conditions
This research study examines how eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) behave and function when they become abnormally high in the blood or tissues. Researchers want to understand these conditions better to potentially improve treatment options.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1–100 - NCT00001979Recruiting
Understanding Immune System Kidney Disease
This research study looks at kidney diseases caused by the immune system—conditions where your body's defense system mistakenly attacks the kidneys. Researchers will study your medical history, blood, and urine to better understand these diseases and potentially improve treatment.

Study of telisotuzumab adizutecan plus immunotherapy for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment for people with advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer who haven't received prior therapy for advanced disease and don't have specific gene changes. The treatment includes an antibody-drug conjugate (telisotuzumab adizutecan) plus an immunotherapy drug (PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor) to see if it helps shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
Leesburg, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06996652RecruitingPhase 2
Study of adalimumab to delay Parkinson's symptoms in sleep disorder
