Fungi and psoriasis study
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at fungi (yeasts) on the skin and in the gut to understand how they might trigger or worsen psoriasis. It involves people with psoriasis, people having plastic surgery, and household members of those with psoriasis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at what’s happening inside the body in people with plaque psoriasis who start certain biologic medicines that target the IL-23/IL-17 immune pathway. It may help explain why these treatments work and what body changes are linked to response.
This study looks at whether changes in gut bacteria are linked to psoriasis flare-ups after stopping certain biologic treatments. It may help understand why some people relapse after stopping medication.
This study looks at how inflammation-related genes behave in people with psoriasis. It may help researchers understand why psoriasis flares and how it could be better treated.
This study looks at how blood sugar control (including diabetes) changes immune cells in the skin for people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It may help researchers understand what drives psoriasis and how it could respond to future treatments.
This study follows people with psoriasis over time to better understand the condition and how it changes. You may be able to join if your psoriasis started more than 3 years ago and you can agree to take part.
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.
