Testing how common skin creams change gut microbes
This study looks at whether commonly used topical (skin) medications change your skin and gut microbial “ecosystem.” It’s an early (Phase 1) pilot study, mainly to see how these treatments affect samples over time.

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 tests a new ointment called ENC0653 in healthy adults to see if it is safe and how it works in the body. It is the first time this ointment is being tested in people, so if you are healthy and your skin is clear, you may be able to help.
This study looks at differences in the gut and skin microbiome (the germs living in and on the body) in people with vitiligo and in people without vitiligo. It aims to understand what might be linked to how vitiligo spreads over time.
This study tests a new cosmetic cream applied daily for 6 weeks to see if it improves skin appearance, hydration, and barrier function. It is for healthy adults who are willing to have skin biopsies as part of the study.
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 builds a detailed library of the microbes living on your skin and in your gut. It may help researchers better understand how these microbes relate to health and future diseases.
