Microneedle patch study for ear keloid scars
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new microneedle patch that delivers siRNA treatment to keloids on the ear after surgical removal. It may help prevent the keloid from coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two different microneedle patches (one with a single drug, one with two drugs) to see which is better at preventing scars after surgery. You would apply the patch yourself at home starting about 2 weeks after your operation.
This study looks at how keloid scars form by studying the skin cells. You may be able to join if you are at least 18 years old, have a keloid, and are already planning to have surgery to remove it.
This trial tests if ritlecitinib, an oral medication, can treat existing keloids (raised scars that grow beyond the original wound) or prevent new ones from forming after surgical removal. It may help people with large or painful keloids that haven't responded to other treatments.
This trial tests whether a tiny “micro-coring” device can improve the look of scars. It enrolls adults with certain skin types who have not recently treated the scar and who can safely use numbing medicine used in the procedure.
This study tests whether combining traditional Chinese medicine with wide-band ultrasound can prevent keloids from coming back after surgery. It may help people who have multiple keloids and want to reduce scarring.
This trial tests whether an injection of triamcinolone or verapamil works better to shrink keloids and improve their appearance. It is for people who have had a keloid for less than five years and have a moderate to severe scar score.
