Test of a constant-pressure skin disk for feeding tubes
This study looks at whether a small constant-pressure skin device (a “skin disk”) is safe and practical when placed in people getting PEG or PEJ feeding tubes. If you qualify, it may help improve comfort and care around the tube site.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 22 years+ - NCT03976622Enrolling by invitation
Inflammation study in vitiligo and other skin conditions
This study looks at inflammation in people with vitiligo, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, or alopecia areata. It aims to understand how these conditions compare, which may lead to better treatments.
Bordeaux, BordeauxAges 18–75 - NCT03503240Enrolling by invitation
Skin cancer surgery study about satisfaction, scars, and quality of life
This study asks people who had skin cancer surgery about how they feel about their appearance, their scar healing, and their quality of life. It may help doctors understand what outcomes matter most to patients after skin cancer treatment.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT02772367Recruiting
Make heart muscle cells from blood or skin in breast cancer
This study grows heart muscle cells from your blood or skin to better understand why some people develop heart problems from HER2 cancer treatments. You may be helping researchers learn how to predict and prevent treatment-related heart damage.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02350205RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a lab-made skin substitute for severe burn wounds
This early-stage trial tests a self-assembled, lab-made skin substitute placed on severe burn wounds to help heal them when there aren’t enough donor sites for standard skin grafts. It may help patients with very large burns, but it has specific safety and eligibility limits.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT01964859RecruitingPhase 2
Testing your own skin cells to heal skin
This study checks whether a treatment using your own skin graft material is safe and feasible. It aims to see if using a small sample from your skin and making an “autologous” skin graft can be done safely and with good follow-through.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT01771718Recruiting
Non-invasive skin imaging study using a special microscope
This is a pilot research study that uses a non-invasive skin imaging technique to look at skin details using multiphoton microscopy. It may help researchers improve how skin is studied, without needing surgery or injections in most cases.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT00605878Recruiting
Skin microbiome study in healthy people and eczema patients
This study looks at the types of germs on the skin (skin microbiome) in healthy people and people with skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis (eczema). Researchers collect skin samples to understand how skin germs differ and how that may relate to skin health.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for skin?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 645 recruiting skin 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 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 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.
