About this study

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) will be collected from healthy volunteers and patients who present with different diseases that involve or implicate the immune system dysregulation (HIV infection, autoimmune diseases and cancer). These PBMC will be studied in vitro for a number of functional parameters, including generating soluable factors that inhibit HIV infection, developing patterns of immune dysregulation, and inducing apoptotic T cell death. The purpose of such studies is to obtain insight into the mechanisms of natural resistance to viral infections, AIDS pathogenesis, and disease-induced immune dysregulation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cell Function, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jul 2017.
