Recruiting studies
- NCT03243448Enrolling by invitation
Check how the body’s stress nerve system works
This study measures “sympathetic nerve activity,” which is part of your body’s automatic stress-response system. It looks at how active that system is in people with certain conditions (or in healthy volunteers), which may help researchers understand symptoms and risks.
Ages 20–85 - NCT03210935Recruiting
National registry for rare skin cancer diagnoses
This trial is a French national database that collects information from people with certain rare skin cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve future care, using real-world patient data.
Dijon, DijonAges Any age - NCT03022773Enrolling by invitation
Eye exam study measuring macular pigment in specific eye disease
This study measures a pigment in the eye and also looks at other body tissues in people who have a specific inherited eye condition called adult vitelliform dystrophy. It may help researchers better understand the disease and how it can be confused with early age-related macular degeneration.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 7 years+ - NCT03093909RecruitingPhase 1
Breathing treatment with gemcitabine for lung cancer spread
This early-stage trial studies an inhaled (aerosol) form of gemcitabine to treat solid tumors that have spread to the lungs. It aims to see whether this lung-focused treatment is safe and how well it might work when standard curative options are not available.
Houston, TexasAges 12–50 - NCT03007589Enrolling by invitation
Compare sunscreen and fabric protection in real sunlight
This study tests how well different sunscreens and fabric coverings protect skin from sun damage. You may take part in controlled sun exposure and a next-day skin check to see which products work best.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 15–90 - 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+ - NCT02735824Recruiting
Genetic study of immune problems in children
This study looks for new genetic causes of immune system conditions that can run in families. If you join, researchers will collect health information (and usually samples) from children with immune concerns and from close relatives for comparison.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges Any age - NCT02939573RecruitingPhase 2
Study of medicines for skin-only vasculitis flares
This Phase 2 trial tests different medicines to calm active skin vasculitis and prevent flare-ups. It’s for people whose vasculitis mainly affects the skin, not major organs like kidneys or the brain.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT02257866Recruiting
Study of blood vessel inflammation over time
This study looks at different types of blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) to learn more about why they happen and how they progress. By joining, you may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 years+ - NCT02504879Recruiting
Study of melorheostosis progression and genetic causes
This study follows adults with suspected or confirmed melorheostosis to understand how the condition develops and what outcomes to expect. It may help researchers better understand the disease and its genetic factors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT02471352Recruiting
Share skin samples for dermatology research
This study collects and stores biological samples (biospecimens) from people with skin conditions, people at risk, or healthy volunteers. It helps researchers better understand dermatologic diseases and support future skin research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–100 years - NCT02650622Recruiting
Study of genetic and metabolic diseases in children
This study looks at children who may have genetic (inherited) or metabolic (body chemistry) problems, including newborn screening and episodes of trouble. The goal is to better understand these conditions and identify children who may benefit from further care.
Dallas, TexasAges 1 day+ - NCT02530658Recruiting
Sequencing children’s tumor and normal tissue samples
This study collects children’s normal and tumor tissue (or blood-related normal samples) and reads their DNA/RNA to look at genetic information. It may help researchers understand cancer-related changes and improve future testing, even when the goal isn’t to treat you directly.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT01422694Recruiting
Understanding spondyloarthritis over time
This study follows people with spondyloarthritis (an inflammatory arthritis that often affects the spine and joints) and their family members over time to better understand how the disease develops and progresses. It also includes a research stool sample test to learn about gut bacteria.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT00842283Recruiting
Study of how new blood vessels affect skin diseases
This study looks at how new blood vessel growth may be involved in skin conditions. It may help researchers learn whether blocking this process could become a future treatment, and you may contribute by having a skin biopsy.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 16 years+ - NCT00001975Recruiting
Skin Tumors and Tuberous Sclerosis Study
This study looks at skin growths that develop in people with tuberous sclerosis (a genetic condition affecting multiple organs). Researchers want to understand these skin changes better and may test new treatments to help manage them.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - 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 - NCT00001372Recruiting
Understanding Lupus: Research Study at NIH
This research study aims to better understand systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Researchers will evaluate patients with lupus, study genetic factors, and perform optional imaging tests to learn how the disease affects blood vessels and the heart.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–120 - NCT00895271Enrolling by invitation
Making lab cell lines from skin biopsies in immune disorders
This study creates special lab cell lines from skin (or nasal) samples from people with immune system disorders and certain family members. It’s meant to help researchers build tools to better study these conditions using patient cells.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–85 - NCT00024479Recruiting
Understanding how rheumatic diseases develop over time
This research study follows people with known or suspected rheumatic diseases (like arthritis, lupus, or similar conditions) to learn how these conditions change and progress naturally. By tracking your health over time, researchers hope to better understand these diseases and improve treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100

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.
