Study skin microbiome in certain skin diseases
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at the bacteria (microbiome) living on the skin in people with specific skin conditions, and in healthy volunteers. The results may help researchers understand what skin microbes have to do with these diseases.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 to 89 (not under 18 or over 90)
- You have one of these conditions: cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (IA–IIA or IIB+), or CD30+ related disorders, or plaque psoriasis (BSA > 5%), or moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis on bleach-bath therapy
- If you’re a healthy volunteer, you should be similar in age and sex to the patient group
- You must be able and willing to give informed consent for the study and skin tissue/bank research
- You cannot be taking systemic antibiotics now, and you must not have had systemic antibiotics in the past 4 weeks

This study tests whether a special skin care body wash can improve skin lesions in people with mycosis fungoides, a type of skin lymphoma. Researchers will look at skin bacteria before and after using the wash.
This study collects blood, urine, and possibly small tissue samples to learn more about cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and either eczema or atopic dermatitis. It may help researchers better understand these skin conditions and improve future treatments.
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 looks at skin lymphomas (a type of white blood cell cancer that starts in the skin) to find factors that predict how the disease will progress and to identify new ways to treat it. By joining, you help researchers understand and improve treatment for this condition.
This study collects stored tissue samples (from skin or other needed procedures) from people with CTCL, Sézary syndrome, or lymphomatoid papulosis, especially when you are starting or changing treatment. It’s meant to help researchers learn more about these illnesses and may support future research.
This study looks for clues in your skin and blood that could predict how well you'll respond to treatments for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or lupus. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapy for you.
