Study of mycobacterial infections and immune system
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body fights mycobacterial infections (a type of bacteria) and aims to find immune problems that make some people more prone to these infections. It may help us understand why some people get sick and could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with or are suspected to have a mycobacterial infection.
- You may have no known cause for the infection, or you may have an underlying condition like cancer or a weakened immune system.
- You can be any age, including a newborn baby.
- If you have a nontuberculous mycobacterial infection and do not have HIV, you may be considered for long-term care.
- If you have HIV or tuberculosis, you may still be eligible if there is a suspected immune system issue.
- Family members may also be asked to provide samples like blood or saliva to help with the research.
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows people with suspected or confirmed tuberculosis (TB), whether they have inactive “latent” TB or active TB. It helps researchers better understand TB’s natural course and may improve future testing and care by allowing collection and storage of samples.
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.
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.
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.
This study looks at immune system differences that can make some people get unusual or frequent fungal (fungus) infections. It may help researchers better understand these conditions, and you may be asked to store blood for future research.
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.
