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 early-phase study tests a spray solution (APR-TD011®) for people with early-stage mycosis fungoides and looks at how the bacteria on the skin change before and after treatment. It may help researchers understand whether the spray improves the skin environment that can affect this lymphoma.
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 tests whether a topical cream or gel can improve the skin's natural bacteria balance in women with sensitive skin and fine lines. If you qualify, you'll use a study product for 14 weeks and give skin swabs to see how your skin changes.
This trial tests a topical cosmetic cream applied daily for 6 weeks to see if it improves skin appearance, hydration, and barrier function. It may help if you have healthy skin and are willing to follow the study routine, including small skin samples.
