About this study

Official title: Collection of Blood, Bone Marrow, Leukapheresis, and Tissue Biopsy Samples From Patients and Their Family Members for Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) Laboratory Research Studies

Background:

  • The Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) is conducting a variety of laboratory research experiments that require blood, bone marrow, urine, stool, and/or tissue samples from patients with a diagnosis of an immunologic, autoimmune, or inflammatory disorder, as well as from their healthy relatives. Donated samples will be sent to the CHI laboratory at the National Institutes of Health to be used in research that may provide more information on the changes in the immune system caused by these specific disorders.

Objectives:

  • To collect blood, leukapheresis cells, bone marrow, urine, stool, cheek swab, and tissue samples from patients with immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases, as well as from family members, for ongoing exploratory research studies.

Eligibility:

  • Individuals at least 2 years of age who have been diagnosed with an immune-mediated or inflammatory disease, or have signs or symptoms of an immune or inflammatory disease without a formal diagnosis.
  • Immediate family members (parent, child, sibling, grandchild) of the above mentioned individuals.

Design:

  • Participants will be screened with a complete medical history, physical examination, and blood and urine samples.
  • Participants will provide blood, urine, stool, cheek swab, and tissue samples as required by the study researchers.
  • Participants who have immune or inflammatory diseases will also provide blood and bone marrow samples collected through biopsies and leukapheresis (to collect specific blood cells).
  • Adult relatives will provide additional samples through more invasive procedures such as leukapheresis and bone marrow biopsies. Child relatives (between 2 and 18 years of age) will not undergo these invasive procedures.
  • No treatment will be provided as part of this protocol.

BACKGROUND

Clinical investigators in the Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) study the pathophysiology of a wide variety of immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases. One of the goals of the CHI is to better understand these diseases and to refine therapeutic approaches used in their management based on knowledge of the underlying pathophysiologies. This requires samples from patients with immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases for such clinical and laboratory assessments. Collection of samples from family members is necessary to identify genetic components of specific conditions.

We expect the great majority of publications from the Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) over the next several decades will be generated from exploratory laboratory research studies done using blood and bone marrow and other tissue samples from such patients and their family members. These publications are expected to number in the hundreds. Ongoing and future research projects depend on the ready availability of samples of blood, tissue, leukapheresed cells, and bone marrow from patients for in vitro studies.

OBJECTIVE

To provide a mechanism for collection of blood, bone marrow, leukapheresis cells, urine, stool, buccal mucosa and/or tissue samples from patients with immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases, as well as from family members for ongoing exploratory research studies.

STUDY DESIGN

This study is not a treatment protocol. This is a sample and clinical data procurement protocol.

All subjects with conditions of interest seen at the NIH Clinical Center will first be enrolled onto CHI protocol 09-H-0201 Screening protocol for subjects being evaluated for Center for Human Immunology, Autoimmunity, and Inflammatory Diseases (CHI) protocols. Patients who require specific medical intervention will be enrolled on and receive treatment under another NIH or CHI Clinical Center protocol or will be under the care of their home health care provider. In exceptional cases in which it is not possible for patients to travel to the Clinical Center, they may be allowed the option of giving consent to provide samples for research studies, including genetic analyses, performed on blood, buccal mucosa, bone marrow, and tissue samples sent through their local physician without enrolling onto 09-H-0201. Information will be obtained retrospectively by review of medical records and examination of archived materials and/or prospectively by clinical examinations and laboratory tests. The protocol is written for an indefinite period of time with subject accrual to occur both at the NIH Clinical Center or through home health care providers (off site).

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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Samples will be used for clinical and translational research in the CHI and are indispensable for many of our research projects, including understanding the pathophysiology of a wide variety of immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01200823, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 20 Sep 2018.
