Study of Immune System Aging in Down Syndrome
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study is looking at how the immune system changes over time in people with Down syndrome, and how it may be affected by removal of the thymus gland. The goal is to understand why people with Down syndrome may age faster or have different immune health.

This study follows children and young adults with Down syndrome who have survived acute leukemia (ALL or AML) to learn about their longer-term health after treatment ends. It may help families and doctors understand what health problems to watch for and how to provide better follow-up care.
This study tests if an oral medication called tofacitinib can help the immune system work better in children and young adults with Down syndrome, which may improve learning and development. The study will follow participants for 6 months.
This study includes people of many ages to help researchers learn more about Trisomy (an extra chromosome condition) in those with and without Down syndrome. It may help improve understanding and future care for people affected by chromosome differences.
This research study aims to better understand Down syndrome by collecting health information, family history, and sometimes brain imaging or sleep data from children and adults with Down syndrome and their families. The goal is to advance knowledge that could improve health and development for people with Down syndrome.
This study enrolls adults with Down syndrome to better understand how thinking and memory develop and change over time. It may help by building a “trial-ready” group and by measuring thinking in a careful, consistent way.
This study looks at the nutritional status of children with Down syndrome between the ages of 2 and 5. It aims to understand their nutritional health to help improve care.
