Understanding the biology of inflammatory skin diseases
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at the genes and molecules in skin samples from people with inflammatory skin conditions (like eczema or epidermolysis bullosa) and healthy volunteers. It aims to better understand these diseases and find better ways to diagnose or treat them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You either have a skin condition with inflammation (like eczema, psoriasis, or epidermolysis bullosa) or you are a healthy person without skin disease.
- You must not have used steroid cream or ointment on the biopsy site for at least 2 weeks before the skin sample is taken.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not have taken part in another interventional trial with systemic (whole-body) treatment within the last 3 months.

This study looks for clues in your skin and blood that could predict how well you'll respond to treatments for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or lupus. It aims to help doctors choose the best therapy for you.
This study looks at how atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, or other autoimmune skin diseases change over time and how the body responds to anti-inflammatory signals. Your information and—if eligible—samples help researchers find patterns that could guide better treatments.
This study looks at molecular (body-level) signatures in people with chronic inflammatory skin conditions. You may help researchers understand what drives inflammation, while receiving standard (already approved) systemic treatment through routine care.
This study looks at what affects the “path” (trajectory) of long-lasting inflammatory skin conditions. It may help researchers understand why symptoms change and how treatments or factors influence those changes.
This study uses special imaging to look at the structure of skin, comparing people with eczema (who have used steroid creams) to healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how the skin changes with eczema and its treatment.
This study looks at genetic differences in people with certain inflammatory skin diseases that involve a specific type of immune cell (neutrophils). Your participation may help researchers better understand why these conditions happen.
