Skin and gut bacteria in Netherton syndrome
This study looks at the bacteria on the skin and in the gut of people with Netherton syndrome, a condition that affects the skin barrier and often causes allergies. It also compares these findings to healthy volunteers to understand how the microbiome might be different.

Skin or soft tissue tumor radiation therapy using minibeams
This study tests a new type of radiation therapy, called minibeam radiation, for skin or soft tissue tumors that have come back or spread.

AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT05975203Recruiting
Skin-to-skin care test for late preterm newborns
This study looks at whether doing skin-to-skin care right after birth in a “continuous” way works well for babies born a bit early (late preterm). If you’re eligible, you may be offered structured skin-to-skin time soon after a vaginal delivery, and the team will monitor how the baby and parent do.
Cologne, Northrhine-westfaliaAges Any age - NCT05896839RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy with prednisone and sirolimus for transplant skin cancer
This early-phase study tests whether adding immunotherapy (nivolumab and ipilimumab) to prednisone and sirolimus can control advanced skin cancers in people with kidney transplants. It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for transplant recipients.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05269381RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized cancer vaccine with pembrolizumab for advanced solid tumors

Jacksonville, FloridaAges 16 years+ - NCT05600634Recruiting
Monitoring skin graft to spot rejection after kidney transplant
This study follows people after a kidney transplant to see if a small skin graft can help detect early signs of acute rejection. It may help your care team notice rejection sooner and adjust treatment earlier.
