COVID-19 vaccine responses in PIDD subjects - Clinical Trial
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to learn more about the immune response patients with X-linked Agammaglobulinemia (XLA) have to COVID-19 vaccination. We will compare their immune responses to those of healthy people who have normal immune systems. Better understanding of cellular responses to COVID-19 vaccines by XLA patients is important since XLA patients cannot make antibodies to vaccines.

Who Can Participate in the Study?
People with XLA and healthy male participants are both eligible to join this study.

- Are diagnosed with XLA based on absence of B cells or genetic confirmation
- Are being treated with immunoglobulin replacement without recent dose change
- Have not received a COVID-19 vaccine, but plan to get one
- Have no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 infection
- Have not received any other vaccines within 2 weeks of the COVID-19 vaccine
We are enrolling healthy male participants who:
- Are 12 years and older
- Have not received a COVID-19 vaccine, but plan to get one
- Have no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 infection
- Do not have any medical conditions that affect the immune system
- Are not taking any medicine that affects the immune system
- Have not received any other vaccines within 2 weeks of the COVID-19 vaccine
