Skin Tumors and Tuberous Sclerosis Study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study sets up a database and collection of “biosamples” (like blood or other body samples) from people with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) or sporadic lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM). The goal is to better understand how these conditions change over time and support future research.
This study looks back at medical records to see how many children with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) have kidney problems. It may help doctors understand how common kidney issues are in kids with TSC.
This study is a registry that gathers information from pregnant women with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) or Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), as well as infants born to them. The goal is to better understand how these conditions affect pregnancy and the baby's health.
This study looks at different types of skin growths (actinic keratosis or cSCC) to understand their unique features. It may help doctors better tell apart harmless from dangerous skin spots by studying cells and inflammation.
This trial looks at skin cancer tumors removed during surgery to better understand how they grow. It may help you if you are an adult with a common type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma that is not in a sensitive area and is not too large.
This study looks for Muir-Torre syndrome, a condition that causes certain skin tumors, in people who already have Lynch syndrome. It may help doctors understand how common this skin condition is in Lynch syndrome patients.
