Study of genes and immune response in Oceanian populations
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how genes affect the immune system's response to viruses in people from Melanesian and European communities in New Caledonia. It may help understand why some people get sicker from viruses like dengue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how the immune system in the body responds to different COVID-19 virus variants. It may help improve how COVID-19 is diagnosed by comparing people who are currently infected and those who are not.
This study examines special immune cells that live in your skin to understand how they work. Researchers will take small skin samples to learn more about your body's natural defenses, which could help develop better vaccines in the future.
This study looks at how the body's immune system reacted to COVID-19 in people who had either severe or mild cases. The goal is to learn more about a specific part of the immune response (called IFN-I) to better understand the disease.
This study looks at how certain immune cells (NK cells) behave in people who have been on HIV treatment for a long time. It aims to understand why some people's immune systems respond differently, which could help improve future treatments.
This study aims to understand how people's immune systems respond to viruses that spread from animals to humans (zoonotic viruses). If you have had recent contact with potentially infected animals in Cambodia, your participation can help researchers find ways to detect and prevent future outbreaks.
This study looks at how the immune system responds to dengue, flu, and sepsis. It may help doctors understand these illnesses better and improve future treatments.
