Genes and immune response in Oceanian populations
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how genes affect the immune system in people from Melanesian and European backgrounds in New Caledonia. It involves a blood draw and a questionnaire to learn more about why some people get sick with dengue more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You consider yourself part of the Melanesian or European community (not mixed).
- You have not had a fever or infection in the last 3 months.
- You have not received a vaccine or taken part in another clinical trial in the last 3 to 6 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have a long-term medical condition that affects your immune system (except diabetes, overweight, or high blood pressure).

This study looks at how the immune system responds to dengue fever and sepsis (a severe infection). It aims to better understand these illnesses, which could lead to improved treatments. If you have dengue-like symptoms, sepsis, or are a healthy volunteer, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and diet are related to obesity and type 2 diabetes in people living in New Caledonia. It compares three groups: people with obesity and type 2 diabetes, people with obesity but no diabetes, and healthy-weight people without diabetes.
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 dengue infection during the 2020–2021 outbreaks in Réunion Island in people who have autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. It may help clinicians better understand how dengue affects these patients and improve future care.
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.
