Microbiome and Atopy in Mali
Part of Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study is looking at how the natural bacteria on our skin and in our gut relate to eczema and asthma in people living in Mali. It will compare people with these conditions to healthy volunteers to learn more about what might cause them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at the types of germs on the skin (skin microbiome) in healthy people and people with skin conditions, including atopic dermatitis (eczema). Researchers collect skin samples to understand how skin germs differ and how that may relate to skin health.
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 looks at how common allergens and everyday toxins from things like cleaning products affect your skin, gut, and airways. It may help find ways to prevent or manage allergies and related health issues.
This observational study follows people with eczema (atopic dermatitis) and sometimes related allergies over time, even if they keep their usual medical treatments. It may help researchers better understand how these conditions change and what factors relate to symptoms.
This study follows newborns for two years to see how their immune system develops, especially if they have a family history of eczema, asthma, or hay fever. Researchers want to learn if certain immune markers appear early in babies who later develop eczema.
This study looks at how food allergies and eczema (atopic dermatitis) are related. You will have an oral food challenge (eating a small amount of a possible allergen in a safe setting) and give blood and skin samples to help researchers learn more.
