Recruiting studies
- NCT06037421Recruiting
Bacteria in breast milk of NICU mothers
This study looks at the bacteria naturally found in breast milk. Researchers want to learn more about the germs in milk from mothers whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Corbeil-Essonnes, FranceAges 1 hour+ - NCT05937412Recruiting

This trial compares honey versus alcohol applied to skin to see which works better as a disinfectant. It involves children with otherwise healthy skin and checks for safe use before and after application.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 2–12 - NCT05377905RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Microneedle skin treatment plus doxorubicin for skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether delivering chemotherapy through tiny skin needles (microneedles) can shrink or control cutaneous squamous cell cancer (cSCC) that can be surgically treated. Because it’s Phase 1/2, the main goals are to check safety and find the best way to deliver the treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05287646Recruiting
Track how your residual limb moves while walking with a prosthesis
This study uses a special X-ray and markers to measure how your leg and skin move inside your prosthetic socket while you walk. It may help researchers better understand fit and comfort for people with transtibial (below-knee) amputations.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04987073Recruiting
Vitamin D type added for CYP24A1 vitamin D deficiency
This study tests a vitamin D-like medicine for people with a specific genetic cause of low active vitamin D (CYP24A1 deficiency). If you have the right gene change, it may help your body use vitamin D more normally.
Caen, NormandyAges 18 years+ - NCT04860453Recruiting
Family genetic testing study for patterns of different cancers
This study checks whether gene tests can help understand cancer risk in families where different relatives had different (discordant) cancers. It may help families and doctors better understand whether hereditary cancer risk is possible, even though some parts use routine standard care as a comparison group.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–100 - NCT05381597RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Skin cream treatment for small early non-melanoma skin cancers
This study tests whether 5-fluorouracil and calcipotriene (medicines used on the skin) can treat certain small, early skin cancers or pre-cancers without surgery. It’s for specific types and locations of lesions and aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05316805Recruiting
Study for type 2 inflammatory skin rashes and hives
This study looks at people with certain types of inflammatory skin conditions to improve how they are diagnosed and treated. It may help your care team by using a standardized approach, but you must be able to complete questionnaires and consent to participate.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT04628416Recruiting
Negative-pressure dressing test for fibula flap donor skin graft
This trial studies whether a special suction dressing (negative pressure) helps healing at the skin-graft donor site for people getting a fibula free flap. It may reduce complications and improve how the graft takes, compared with standard care.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT03932162RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Skin study that checks gene changes in young and older adults
This early-stage study looks at how your skin’s genes respond after a controlled skin procedure. It may help researchers understand differences in skin biology between younger and older adults.
Fairborn, OhioAges 21 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.
AngersAges 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+ - NCT03763864Enrolling by invitation
Testing patient skin cells to check gene-related disease causes
This trial builds lab tests using a patient’s own skin cells to see whether the disease’s underlying gene problem can be shown in the lab. If you have a rare inherited (genetic) disease with no good treatment, this could help researchers find clearer, functional ways to measure the disease and test future therapies.
LilleAges Any age - NCT02652169Recruiting
Antibiotic or antiseptic treatment for chronic leg ulcers
This study tests a wound treatment using topical antibiotics or antiseptics to help chronic (long-lasting) leg ulcers heal and control local infection. It may help people whose ulcers are not responding well to standard care.
ViennaAges 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+ - NCT06474104Recruiting
Blood and skin sample collection for mitochondrial disease
This study collects blood and skin samples from people with primary mitochondrial disease and from healthy volunteers. The samples will help researchers better understand these diseases and develop future treatments.
Ramat Gan, IsraelAges 3–85 - NCT06465056RecruitingPhase 2
Botox for eyebrow lift scar healing
This study tests whether injecting Botulinum Toxin A (Botox) into the scar from an eyebrow lift surgery helps the scar heal better. Participants will be people who are already planning to have a direct eyebrow lift.
São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07664280Recruiting
Facial acupuncture for skin aging
This study tests whether a single session of facial acupuncture can improve your skin's structure and how satisfied you are with your appearance. If you are concerned about facial aging and are in good general health, you may be able to join.
TaipeiAges 30–60 - NCT06406621Recruiting
Laser hair removal to prevent pilonidal disease in darker skin
This study tests whether laser hair removal can help prevent pilonidal disease from coming back in people with darker skin. It is designed for teenagers and young adults who have had pilonidal disease but are not currently having a flare-up.
Wilmington, DelawareAges 10–21 - NCT07458334Recruiting
Skincare benefits of a kaempferol face mask

Expert opinions on sun protection practices
This study asks experts in skin protection to share their opinions through a few rounds of surveys. The goal is to reach agreement on the best ways to protect skin from the sun.
CairoAges 25 years+ - NCT05383495RecruitingPhase 3

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 650 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.
