Trial summary

B-cells ensure humoral immune response against antigens (Ag) thanks to their receptor (BCR). V(D)J rearrangement, somatic hypermutation, immunoglobulin (Ig) class switch and locus suicide recombination are mutational/recombinational processes targeting Ig loci influencing BCR expression.

About this study

B-cells ensure humoral immune response against antigens (Ag) thanks to their receptor (BCR). V(D)J rearrangement, somatic hypermutation, immunoglobulin (Ig) class switch and locus suicide recombination are mutational/recombinational processes targeting Ig loci influencing BCR expression. Study of these events is essential for B cell function analysis. Our project will provide the normal reference values using high throughput sequencing-based protocols.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Frequency of use of the V, D and J genes in VDJ rearrangements

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 18 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of HyperMutation Somatic (SHM) in VDJ regions

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 18 months

  2. Nature of HyperMutation Somatic (SHM)

    transitions and transversions

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 18 months

  3. Ig class switching (CSR) and recombination suicide of the IgH locus (LSR) junctions

    number of CSR and LSR junctions

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 18 months

  4. Frequency of g class switching (CSR) and recombination suicide of the IgH locus (LSR) junctions

    frequency of CSR and LSR junctions according to their structure

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sample in people with Healthy Volunteers, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 1 site in France.

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 31 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 30 Jul 2025. 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 France. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency of use of the V, D and J genes in VDJ rearrangements (time frame: through study completion, an average of 18 months). 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 NCT04889573, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Jul 2025.
