Natural history of type I interferonopathies in a European patient group

Official title: Natural History of Type 1 Interferonopathies: Insights From a European Cohort

Run by Imagine Institute · NCT07040774 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This project will follow people with genetically confirmed type I interferonopathies across European centers to see how the disease develops and which clinical and blood markers track disease activity.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

People of any age with a genetically confirmed type I interferonopathy who are registered with or beneficiaries of a social security scheme and can attend one of the participating European centers.

Probably not a fit

Patients without a confirmed pathogenic genetic diagnosis of a type I interferonopathy, those expecting direct therapeutic intervention from participation, or those unable to attend participating sites are unlikely to receive clinical benefit from this observational protocol.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter observational cohort collecting clinical, genetic, and laboratory data from patients with genetically confirmed type I interferonopathies across European sites. Investigators will record neurological, joint, and hematological features and measure the interferon-stimulated gene expression ('interferon signature') over time. No investigational drugs are given; instead the study aims to define the natural history, identify biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, and inform endpoints for future trials. Data will be used to better understand variability in onset, progression, and response to standard supportive treatments.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the project could improve earlier diagnosis, help predict disease course, and guide selection of biomarkers and endpoints for future targeted therapies.

How similar studies have gone: Smaller case series and treatment reports have consistently documented the interferon signature and shown clinical responses to targeted agents like JAK inhibitors, but large, systematic natural-history cohorts remain limited.
