About Primary Immunodeficiency

Primary immunodeficiencies (now called inborn errors of immunity) are a heterogeneous group of over 450 conditions caused by genetic defects in immune system components. CVID (common variable immunodeficiency) is the most prevalent symptomatic PID in adults. SCID (severe combined immunodeficiency) is the most severe and is now detected by newborn screening. IVIG or SCIG infusions replace antibodies in antibody deficiencies.

Before you apply

Things trial teams commonly ask about for Primary Immunodeficiency. Not eligibility rules; those are set by each study.

  • Specific PID diagnosis and underlying gene (if identified) are required for most precision trials
  • IgG trough levels and infection history determine eligibility for replacement therapy comparison trials
  • SCID newborn screening detection opens a critical window for early gene therapy before infections occur
