Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–120 - NCT01306019RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for children with severe immune deficiency (XSCID)
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy approach to help children with X-linked SCID (a serious inherited immune disorder) make better immune cells. It’s for people who don’t have a fully matched sibling donor and need long-term follow-up after treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–50 - 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 - NCT03610802Recruiting
Send blood samples to study genetic and immune differences
This study collects blood (and sometimes related samples) to learn how genes and the immune system work in people with primary immunodeficiency (PID) or in family members who may not have it. The goal is to improve understanding of rare immune conditions and help guide future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–99 years - NCT07775313Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for WHIM syndrome
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy treatment for WHIM syndrome, a rare immune disorder. It aims to fix the genetic cause to improve your body's ability to fight infections. Your stem cells will be collected, edited in a lab, and given back to you after some chemotherapy to prepare your body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–75 - NCT00943514Recruiting
Study of bronchiectasis and why infections keep coming back
This study follows children (age 5+) and adults with bronchiectasis or ongoing/repeated lung infections to learn what makes infections more likely. It mainly looks at non–cystic fibrosis causes, but may include some related conditions to compare differences.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 5–100 - NCT00001467Recruiting
Study of genes in immune disorders
This research looks at how inherited (genetic) changes may affect the immune system in people with immune problems. It may help by improving understanding of these conditions and, in some cases, guiding faster care for a baby after birth.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–101 years - 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 - NCT05027945RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant for people with VEXAS syndrome
This Phase 2 trial tests whether an allogeneic stem cell transplant (from a donor) can treat VEXAS syndrome. It may help calm the body’s overactive inflammation and improve symptoms in eligible adults.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT01212055Recruiting
Apheresis for certain immune system gene problems
This trial studies whether an apheresis procedure (removing blood cells through a machine) can help people with specific inherited immune system conditions. Participants will also receive filgrastim to help move certain blood-forming cells for collection.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–40 - NCT01861106RecruitingPhase 2
Bone marrow transplant for GATA2 mutations
This trial tests a bone marrow transplant (called allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant) as a treatment for people with GATA2 mutations or MonoMAC. The goal is to replace faulty immune cells with healthy donor cells, which may reduce infections and improve immune function.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6–70 - NCT03300830Recruiting
Testing tumors linked to viruses, HIV, and immune disorders
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue to learn what drives certain cancers and growths linked to viruses, HIV, and immune system problems. Results may help researchers understand disease causes and point to better future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06851767Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene therapy for X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency
This study tests a gene therapy to treat X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) without a stem cell transplant from a matched sibling. It aims to improve immune function and reduce infections using your own stem cells modified to carry the correct gene.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–99 - NCT06819176RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug to shrink hidden HIV in people with suppressed virus
This study tests whether adding a new anti-HIV drug called lenacapavir to your regular HIV treatment can shrink the hidden reservoir of virus in your body. This could be a step toward a cure.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT04864886Recruiting
Study how immune-related conditions affect metabolism
This study collects blood and other samples to see how the immune system changes “metabolism” (how your body uses energy) in people with immune-related conditions. Your samples may also be stored for future research and could help researchers better understand immune health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT00895271Enrolling by invitation
Making lab cell lines from skin biopsies in immune disorders
This study creates special lab cell lines from skin (or nasal) samples from people with immune system disorders and certain family members. It’s meant to help researchers build tools to better study these conditions using patient cells.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–85 - NCT00055172Recruiting
Understanding Genetic Causes of Immune System Disorders
This research study investigates why some people have weak or poorly functioning immune systems. By studying you and your relatives, researchers hope to identify genetic factors that cause these conditions and eventually develop better treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–99 years - NCT00001244Recruiting
Studying Immune System Disorders and Family Genetics
This research study examines how the immune system malfunctions in patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)—a condition where the body doesn't make enough antibodies to fight infections. Researchers want to understand the genetics and immune patterns to help develop better treatments. Family members may also be asked to participate to help identify genetic causes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT06092346Recruiting
Understanding rare purine and pyrimidine metabolism disorders
This study aims to learn more about rare disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism (DPPM), which can affect the brain, immune system, kidneys, and muscles.

What taking part in a immunodeficiency study involves
A screening visit first

Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
