Microneedle patch for keloid scars on the ear
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests a new microneedle patch that may help reduce keloid scars on the ear after surgery. The patch contains a special material (siRNA) that can affect scar tissue, and it is applied directly to the scar.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 a new way to treat keloids by injecting medicine directly into the scar. It may help people with thick, raised scars that don't go away on their own.
This trial tests whether injecting a medicine called bleomycin is better than a standard treatment for reducing keloids. It compares two common treatments to see which works best for patients like you.
This study looks at whether removing a keloid with surgery and then applying a radioactive substance (called 32P) can help treat it. The researchers will also watch how well the treatment works over time to see what affects the outcome.
