Biocollection of Rare Pediatric-onset of Autoimmune and Autoinflammatory Diseases

Plain-language summary
Rare diseases are defined as those that affect one person in 2,000, or around three million people in France. The majority of rare diseases are caused by genetics and tend to be severe when they begin in childhood. Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases, such as systemic lupus, juvenile dermatomyositis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis, are examples of rare pediatric diseases. While autoimmune diseases are characterized by an inappropriate adaptive immune response, autoinflammatory diseases involve an excess of the innate immune response. The precise mechanisms of these diseases are not yet fully understood, but recent research has led to advances in their diagnosis and identification, particularly in early onset and familial forms. However, the rarity of these diseases and limited availability of biological samples pose significant challenges.
This study aims to create a biological collection, which includes primary cells (PBMC), DNA, RNA, lymphoblastic lines, and serum, that will help identify genetic and immunological abnormalities in rare autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases through various research projects.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
