24 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The overall objective of this study is to assess how oral supplementation with Inner Calm and the use of topical Super Calm can affect the appearance of skin and inner wellness, such as redness, skin sensitivity, and reactionary skin.
To evaluate whether the time to complete closure is superior for RECELL-treated split-thickness donor sites, compared with Control (standardized dressings only). The mean time for donor site healing will be compared between treatments.
This study evaluates HP828 in the management of moisture associated skin damage after 15 days of use.
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the VIO device in obtaining in vivo images that show tissue features including epidermis, dermis, collagen, blood vessels, and/or pigment. To demonstrate that the tissue features identified on the images obtained with the VIO device align with the corresponding pathology images procured from the skin biopsy. To evaluate the ability of blinded readers to correctly identify tissue features on images obtained with the VIO device.
The overall objective of this study is to investigate the potential for the VIO System to display microscopic skin structure in people of different age, sex, race, and skin health.
Most skincare products on the market are topical and do not take a holistic approach to understanding skin health. This trial will examine a dietary supplement designed to support the gut microbiome and promote skin health from an internal perspective. Research has previously supported the link between the gut microbiome and skin health and the supplement tested in this trial will further the knowledge on the effectiveness of supporting gut health to improve skin outcomes.
This study is designed as a multi-center, single-blinded, prospective, randomized, study to compare the safety and effectiveness of the CellFX System to the comparator group, Electrodessication for the treatment of SH lesions in healthy adult subjects.
Hand washing and the use of hand sanitizers are important interventions in disease prevention. Engaging in frequent hand washing is especially effective in preventing the spread of viruses, as this removes microbes and prevents the spread to others. Hand dermatitis, however, is a common occurrence in certain occupations, such as healthcare workers. With the onset of the SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) pandemic, hand hygiene measures are further enforced as there is no cure or vaccine for this virus. In the study, the effects of hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer on skin proteins and lipids will be assessed.
Primary study objective is to evaluate the optimization of Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS) energy settings for lesion clearance of Sebaceous Hyperplasia (SH) lesions from facial areas of healthy adult subjects.
The investigators aim to study whether Suprathel, a synthetic temporary skin substitute developed by PolyMedics Innovations GmBH aids in the management of patient pain and wound healing when compared to the current standard dressing used of a primary Xeroform dressing.
This prospective, open label, muti-center study evaluates the use of Nano-Pulse Stimulation (NPS) in the treatment of Sebaceous Hyperplasia (SH) lesions less than 2.5mm in size.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy may cause skin reactions when patients are exposed to high-energy x rays. Studying the genetic pattern of patients before and after radiation therapy may help doctors prevent toxicity and plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies genetic susceptibility to radiation-induced skin reactions in racial/ethnic groups of patients with breast cancer.
With this study, the investigators will like to determine if taking a dose of the study medication, called Polypodium leucotomos (PL), prevents some of the changes in the skin caused by the adverse effects of UVA, a type of ultraviolet light.
In this study, an artificial intelligence model to detect squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) on photos of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) skin is developed. The ultimate goal is to integrate this model into an app for patients and physicians, to help detect SCCs in RDEB early. SCCs which rapidly metastasize are the main cause of death in adults with RDEB. The earlier an SCC is recognized, the easier it can be removed and the better the outcome. AI leverages computer science to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence and has recently been used to identify skin cancers based on images. We are currently developing an AI approach for early detection of SCC and distinction of malignancy from chronic wounds and other RDEB skin findings. The aim is to create a web application for patients with RDEB to upload images of their skin and get an output as to SCC present/ no SCC. This will be especially valuable for patients with difficult access to medical expertise and those who are hesitant to allow full skin examination at each visit, often because of fear of biopsies. Thus, this project will directly benefit patients by allowing early recognition of SCCs and will empower patients and their families by providing a home use tool. So far, the study team has mainly used professional images (photographs taken in hospital settings by physicians, nurses, and clinical photographers) of both SCCs in RDEB and images of RDEB skin without SCC to develop and train the AI model. The images that are expected in a real-life setting will mostly be pictures taken by patients or family members with their phones or digital cameras. These images have different properties regarding resolution, focus, lighting, and backgrounds. Incorporating such images will be crucial in the upcoming phases of model development-testing and validation-for the web application be a success for patients.
TolaSure is a topical gel for the promotion of accelerated wound healing. This Phase I study will assess the safety, tolerability, and clinical effects of TolaSure when applied to wounded skin areas of patients diagnosed with severe epidermolysis bullosa simplex (i.e., EBS-Dowling Meara). A total of 10, severe EBS patients, males and females ages 18 years and older, will be enrolled. Patients will apply TolaSure and Vehicle Gel once-daily for a maximum of 10 weeks.
The aim of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy (by monitoring overall improvement of EB symptoms) and safety (by monitoring adverse events) of three doses of allo-APZ2-EB administered intravenously to patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB).
The purpose of this study is to determine if an herbal over-the-counter cream can decrease skin site reactions in multiple sclerosis patients who currently take either Betaseron, Copaxone or Rebif as their subcutaneous medication for managing their multiple sclerosis. Injection site reactions have been indicated as one of the major reasons for discontinuing treatment with the subcutaneous medications (Betaseron, Copaxone, and Rebif) for multiple sclerosis.
A study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Retapamulin Ointment, 1%, in pediatric subjects (2-24 months) with secondarily-infected traumatic lesions, secondarily-infected dermatoses, or impetigo (bullous and non-bullous).
This is a prospective, single-site controlled observational study designed to comprehensively determine whether children and adults with atopic dermatitis (AD) and food allergy (FA) have skin abnormalities which distinguish them from children with AD without FA, and non-atopic (NA) controls.
Syndactyly is a relatively common congenital abnormality of the hand occurring approximately 1 out of 2500 live births (1). It can be simple, meaning only skin and soft tissues are shared, or complex, meaning the bone or nail parts are shared. In any case, it is a fact that there is not enough skin surrounding the two finger segment to be utilized to cover two separate fingers. This can also be proven by simple geometry. Therefore, it has always been taught to residents and explained to numerous patients' families that addition of skin graft is required for a proper syndactyly release. Without it, skin flaps would be too tight, causing some necrosis and significant scarring along the finger and particularly in the web space, causing an unsatisfactory functional and cosmetic result requiring revision.
Four rare genetic diseases, xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), Cockayne syndrome (CS), the XP/CS complex and trichothiodystrophy (TTD) have defective DNA excision repair although only XP has increased cancer susceptibility. We plan to perform careful clinical examination of selected patients with XP, XP/CS, CS, or TTD and follow their clinical course. We will obtain tissue (skin, blood, hair, buccal swabs) for laboratory examination of DNA repair and for genetic analysis. We hope to be able to correlate these laboratory abnormalities with the clinical features to better understand the mechanism of cancer prevention by DNA repair. Patients will be offered counseling and education for cancer control....
Patients who have hypo-pigmented burn scar will have two scars chosen and randomized to treated scar and control scar. The subject will then have both scars treated with fractional ablative CO2 laser (FLSR). The treated scar will have bimatoprost delivered through the laser channels, while the control will have the vehicle (normal saline) only delivered. The treatment will continue for 14 days with twice daily application. The scars will then be monitored at a 2-week follow-up visit where levels of melanin will be evaluated. Tissue punch biopsies will also be used to evaluate the mechanism of action of bimatoprost. Treatment will occur for 6 sessions at 4-6 week intervals including follow- up visits and evaluations.
This is a placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess whether Guanfacine Extended Release (GXR) reduces aggression and self injurious behavior in individuals with Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS). In addition, the study will establish the safety of GXR with a specific focus on metabolic effects.
The objective of this study is the development, implementation and management of a registry of patient data that captures clinically meaningful, real-world, data on the diagnosis, nature, course of infection, treatment(s) and outcomes in patients with complex disease globally.
