Recruiting studies
- NCT05899140RecruitingPhase 4
Clindamycin added to treat certain skin infections
This trial tests whether adding clindamycin helps treat skin and soft-tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. You may be eligible if your infection was diagnosed recently and a sample was collected soon after hospital admission.
MasokoriAges 18 years+ - NCT07619924Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Phage Cocktail for Hard-to-Treat Skin Infections
This study tests a new treatment called a phage cocktail (viruses that kill bacteria) for skin infections caused by bacteria that don't respond well to regular antibiotics. The treatment is applied directly to the wound to see if it's safe and effective.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT02979951Recruiting
IV fosfomycin for serious bacterial infections
This trial studies whether IV (through a vein) fosfomycin can treat severe bacterial infections in adults. It may help people whose infection is covered by the standard fosfomycin use and who need hospital-level care.
Hall in TirolAges 18 years+ - NCT04615065Recruiting
Biobank study collecting emergency data for very sick patients
This study collects health and sometimes blood sample information from people arriving at the emergency department with high-risk or serious conditions. The goal is to build a large emergency “biobank” to help researchers better understand and improve urgent care.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT07781878Recruiting
Skin staples vs stitches for planned belly surgery wounds
This trial compares two ways to close the skin after a planned belly operation: using metal staples or traditional stitches. Participation may help doctors learn which method leads to better healing and fewer wound problems.
Islamabad, CapitalAges 15–50 - NCT07524062Recruiting
Thermal Imaging to Predict Surgical Wound Healing
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07329114Recruiting
Testing an electrical dressing for infected wounds
This trial tests a special 'electroceutical' dressing that uses low-level electrical signals to help heal infected traumatic wounds. It may help people with wounds that are not healing well and show signs of infection.
Ivano-FrankivskAges 18–105 - NCT07040683Recruiting
Vacuum dressing for skin grafts on lower leg
This study compares standard wound care to a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure therapy) after skin graft surgery on the lower leg for skin cancer. The goal is to see if the vacuum dressing helps the graft heal better.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT05284877Recruiting
Study of HPV and skin cancer after organ transplant
This study looks at how human papillomavirus (HPV) and skin cancer behave in people who have had a solid organ transplant. It also includes healthy people for comparison, to understand what might be different after transplant and immune medicines.
Copenhagen NV, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT04278404Recruiting
Drug safety study for children already on certain medicines
This study measures how certain medicines move through the body and checks their safety in children. It may help doctors better understand dosing and side effects in kids who are already receiving these treatments, or in some kids who recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges birth–20 years - NCT04344119Recruiting
Study of chilblains during COVID-19 infection
This study looks at skin lesions (chilblains) that appear in people with a confirmed COVID-19 infection. It aims to better understand these skin changes.
NiceAges Up to 90 years - NCT06796647Recruiting
TB skin test for patients with rheumatologic conditions
This trial is testing a new type of skin test (called ESAT6/CFP10) to check for TB infection in people who have a rheumatologic disease and are about to start certain medications (b/tsDMARDs). The goal is to see if this skin test works well for these patients.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18–65 - NCT00344188Recruiting
Study of Leishmania infections
This trial studies people with Leishmania infections (a parasitic disease often from sand fly bites). Researchers aim to better understand and treat the infection, and you may benefit from expert care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–100 - NCT07322146Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Shorter antibiotics for children with common infections
This study tests whether shorter courses of antibiotics are as effective as longer ones for children hospitalized with pneumonia, skin infections, or urinary tract infections. It may help children get back to normal faster and reduce side effects.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 2 months–17 years - NCT07142408RecruitingPhase 3
Bacteria reduction before skin cancer surgery on legs
This trial tests if reducing bacteria on your skin before skin cancer surgery on the leg can lower the risk of infection, especially for wounds left open to heal naturally.
Marlton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07483411Recruiting
Skin glue with stitches vs stitches alone for c-section closure
This trial compares using skin glue plus stitches versus stitches alone to close the skin after a planned c-section. It aims to see if adding glue leads to better healing.
JerusalemAges 18 years+ - NCT06102070Recruiting
Genetic study of severe infections
This study looks for genetic reasons why some people get very serious infections. If you or a family member has had a rare, severe infection, researchers will analyze your DNA to find genes that might make you more vulnerable.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges Any age - NCT05721677Recruiting
Glue to prevent bloodstream infections from IV lines
This trial tests whether using a special skin/line “tissue glue” around IV line sites can lower the risk of bloodstream infections in critically ill children with heart disease. It may help reduce infection rates and line-related complications in children considered high risk.
Petah TikvaAges birth–18 years - NCT07686913Recruiting
Steri-Strips vs standard closure for C-section incisions
This study compares using Steri-Strips (a special type of tape) to close the C-section incision versus the standard method. The goal is to see which way helps the wound heal better.
Moreno Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03346694Recruiting
Testing a new chest dressing to prevent wound infections
This trial looks at whether a different dressing placed on the chest incision during certain heart surgeries can lower the risk of surgical wound infections. If you are having a sternotomy (a cut through the breastbone), this could help keep your incision cleaner while you heal.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03561376RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Zinc ointment versus petroleum jelly after skin surgery
This early-phase trial compares zinc oxide ointment versus petroleum jelly to help healing and scar appearance after certain skin surgeries. You might be able to join if you are having a suitable, uninfected, non-scalp skin incision and can use the study ointment.
Pittsburgh, PA, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02996656Recruiting
Antibiotic prevention for skin bacteria in shoulder surgery
This study checks whether giving an antibiotic “ahead of surgery” can reduce problems from common skin bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) during primary shoulder surgery. It may help lower the risk of infection around the new joint/repair.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04028401RecruitingPhase 3
Skin prep study to reduce bacteria in shoulder replacement surgery
This study tests whether a specific skin-cleaning method before shoulder replacement surgery can reduce a common bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) found on skin and deeper samples. It may help lower the risk of infection or contamination during prosthetic shoulder surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for skin infection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 23 recruiting skin infection studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a skin infection trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a skin infection trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
