Skin microbiome study in healthy people and eczema patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at the types of germs on the skin (skin microbiome) in healthy people and people with skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis (eczema). Researchers collect skin samples to understand how skin germs differ and how that may relate to skin health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child) need a regular health provider who can keep your usual care going during the study
- If you have eczema, you must have a confirmed diagnosis and moderate-to-severe disease
- For eczema, you must have an affected area on the inner elbow or inner knee to use as the sampling spot
- If you have immune-related conditions like HIES/WAS/DOCK8, your diagnosis must be proven by genetic testing
- You must be able to pause certain skin and body medicines/therapies before sample collection (timing depends on group)
- You cannot have had gene therapy or a bone marrow transplant, and you must not recently use certain immune treatments or light/antibody therapies

This Phase 2 study tests different treatments for atopic dermatitis (eczema) by looking at changes in skin health. It may help people find safer, more effective ways to control moderate to severe eczema and related skin infections.
This study looks at the skin’s germs (“microbiome”) in people with atopic dermatitis (eczema) or psoriasis. It may help researchers better understand what’s going on on the skin and how that might relate to disease severity.
This study uses special imaging to look at the structure of skin, comparing people with eczema (who have used steroid creams) to healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how the skin changes with eczema and its treatment.
This trial studies the gut microbiome in people with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) who are starting or already receiving systemic (whole-body) treatment. It may help researchers understand what changes in gut bacteria are linked to eczema and to treatment response.
This study looks at the bacteria and other tiny organisms living on your skin to learn more about skin conditions like eczema. It may help doctors understand why some people get these skin problems.
This observational study follows people with eczema (atopic dermatitis) and sometimes related allergies over time, even if they keep their usual medical treatments. It may help researchers better understand how these conditions change and what factors relate to symptoms.
