Testing a new mRNA vaccine for moderate to severe acne
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests an experimental mRNA vaccine designed to help the immune system fight acne-causing bacteria. It's for adults with moderate or severe facial acne who are otherwise healthy, and it may offer a new way to treat acne beyond typical creams or pills.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an mRNA vaccine designed to treat mild facial acne. It aims to see if the vaccine is safe and effective at reducing acne lesions.
This trial tests an mRNA vaccine designed to target the bacteria that cause acne. It is for teenagers aged 12 to 17 with moderate to severe facial acne. The goal is to see if the vaccine is safe and may help reduce acne.
This study tests a new acne treatment in adults. It aims to see if the treatment works well and is safe for people with acne.
This study is for people aged 18 to 25 with mild, moderate, or severe facial acne, and also for healthy volunteers without acne. Researchers want to learn more about acne by taking skin samples and blood samples, and no experimental treatments are given.
This study tests a cosmetic product alongside a standard prescription acne treatment for 12 weeks, then a maintenance phase to see if the product helps improve acne and skin appearance.
