Testing a new oxygen treatment for hard-to-heal leg wounds
This study tests whether a new oxygen-based wound treatment is safe and workable for people with lower-leg wounds that are slow to heal. It may help improve healing by changing the wound environment, but it’s mainly focused on feasibility (whether the approach can be used).

Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18–65 - NCT04220970Recruiting
Breast implant lymphoma patient registry
This study is a registry that collects information from adults diagnosed with lymphoma that may be linked to breast implants. It helps researchers understand the condition better and may guide future care.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT03356132Recruiting
Breast implant safety and satisfaction follow-up study
This study looks at side effects and satisfaction after breast implant surgery. It may help by sharing what problems happen most and how satisfied people feel after getting a Silimed® textured or Silimed foam-coated implant.
Niterói, Rio de JaneiroAges 18 years+ - NCT03057860Recruiting
Registry study for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in Germany

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+ - NCT04428671RecruitingPhase 1
Cemiplimab before and after surgery for high-risk skin cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests the drug cemiplimab given before and after surgery to reduce the chance that high-risk cutaneous squamous cell cancer comes back. You may be a candidate if your cancer is high-risk on pathology or imaging and is planned for surgical removal.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06842199RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new pill for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis
This trial tests an experimental drug called ICP-488 for people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It aims to see if the drug can improve symptoms and is safe, and may be an option if you need stronger treatment than creams or light therapy.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06823479RecruitingPhase 2
Ultra-short immunotherapy before surgery for skin cancer
This trial tests a very short course of immunotherapy (nivolumab) before standard surgery for patients with certain types of advanced or hard-to-treat skin cancer (cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma). The goal is to see if this approach can reduce the need for extensive or disfiguring surgery.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT02822768Recruiting
Packing versus no packing for skin abscesses
This trial compares two common ways of treating a skin abscess after it’s drained: placing a packing material in the wound or leaving it un-packed. The study aims to see which approach leads to better healing and fewer problems after 48 hours.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05351216Recruiting
Sirolimus safety with routine vaccines for a rare blood vessel tumor
