Study of Leishmania infections
Part of Infections, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Must have a diagnosis of leishmaniasis, either confirmed by a biopsy or strongly suspected based on exposure and symptoms.
- Must be willing to let samples be stored for future research if needed.

This study looks at how the immune system reacts to Leishmania infection and searches for new ways to diagnose the disease. It may help develop better tests for leishmaniasis.
This study tests how your immune system responds to parts of a potential vaccine for leishmaniasis. Doctors will take small blood or skin samples to see if your body's cells react to these vaccine pieces, which could help design a better vaccine in the future.
This study looks at how the body's immune system reacts to filarial infections—parasitic worms that affect millions worldwide. Researchers will observe your infection and response to treatment to better understand the disease and improve future care.
This study watches how leishmaniasis affects children over time. It helps doctors learn more about the disease in kids so they can improve care.
This study tests different drugs to find which works best for cutaneous leishmaniasis (a skin infection from a parasite). It may help people with many or large sores, or sores in sensitive areas like near the eyes or nose.
This study tests two new oral medicines compared to an existing oral medicine for people with a first episode of cutaneous leishmaniasis (skin sores caused by a parasite). It aims to find a more effective and convenient treatment.
