Blood fat levels in people with acne
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain fats in the blood (called ceramides and sphingosine-1-phosphate) are different in people with acne compared to those without. It may help doctors understand acne better and could lead to new ways to treat it in the future.

This study is looking at two substances in the blood (CXCL10 and CRP) that may be linked to how severe acne is. By measuring these levels, the study hopes to understand acne better and possibly find new ways to measure or treat it.
This study looks at whether there is a link between acne and cholesterol levels in young adults. If you have acne, joining could help doctors understand more about acne and how it relates to blood fats (lipids).
This study tests whether balancing the skin's natural bacteria (microbiome) can be a new way to treat acne. If you have mild to moderate facial acne that keeps coming back, this trial may help find a better treatment.
This study looks at how the bacteria on your face change when you take a medicine called isotretinoin for acne. It might help doctors understand why the medicine works and how to improve acne treatment.
This trial measures a blood protein called catestatin in people with moderate to severe acne. It aims to understand how catestatin relates to acne, which may help guide future treatments.
This study looks at skin swabs and blood samples from people with different levels of acne to better understand the condition. You won't receive any new treatment, but you'll help researchers learn more about acne.
