79 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This research study will test how well a light therapy mask works for women with mild to moderate hyperpigmentation (brown spots) and moderate to severe facial wrinkles, as compared to a "sham" or inactive investigational light therapy mask. The study will also test if the light therapy mask causes any irritation. For the first 12 weeks of the study, participants will use the assigned mask, along with a provided cleanser and sunscreen. For the second 12 weeks of the study, participants will use just the cleanser and sunscreen.
The purpose of this study is to determine if using preventive treatments such as Doxycycline (an anti-biotic) capsules, sunscreen with SPF 30, Hydrocortisone 1% cream and a moisturizer will help to reduce the incidence and severity of the skin rash associated with Cetuximab (Erbitux®) when compared to receiving standard care for the treatment of skin rash.
This study will look at if a low-dose regimen of acitretin is helpful in treating a skin rash caused by the chemotherapy drug, erlotinib.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a topical Nu Skin product with or without a galvanic spa device improves brown spots on the face. The Nu Skin product will be compared to an over the counter moisturizer and tretinoin cream.
The purpose of this study is to characterize the microscopic findings of skin rash associated with the use of chemotherapeutic anticancer agents known as epidermal growth factor inhibitors (EGFRIs).
RATIONALE: Topical sunscreen may be effective in preventing skin rash caused by treatment with drugs such as erlotinib or cetuximab. It is not yet known whether topical sunscreen is more effective than a placebo in preventing skin rash in patients receiving drugs such as erlotinib or cetuximab for cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying topical sunscreen to see how well it works compared with a placebo in preventing skin rash in patients receiving drugs such as erlotinib or cetuximab for cancer.
This study will evaluate blood and tissue samples for a condition called Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness (STARI). This is a skin rash resembling erythema migrans, the rash found in people infected with Lyme disease. In the south and southeastern United States, STARI is associated with the bite of the lone star tick. Researchers seek a better understanding of the cause of STARI. Through researchers' knowledge, diagnostic tests could be developed. NIH is conducting this study along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Patients ages 14 years and older who have recently been diagnosed with possible STARI, who have not taken antibiotics for it longer than 1 day, and whose skin does not form large scars may be eligible for this study. About 20 participants will be enrolled over a 5-year period. Patients will visit the NIH Clinical Center for two or three visits. The first visit may last 2 hours. Photographs will be taken of the rash, and a blood sample of about 1-1/2 tablespoons will be collected for tests. Patients will undergo a punch biopsy of three small pieces of skin, from the rash. The area of the skin will be cleaned, and patients will receive a local anesthetic at the biopsy site. A sharp instrument will remove a round plug of skin, about the size of half a pencil eraser. Patients may feel a pushing sensation, but there should not be pain. The site usually heals without sutures, though the doctors may close it with special adhesive bandages or one or two sutures. Patients will receive instructions about how to take care of the biopsy site. If sutures are used, patients will return in 7 to 10 days to have them removed-or a patient's own doctor may remove the sutures. Patients will return to NIH at 4 to 6 weeks following their first visit. At that time, they will answer questions about how they are doing and donate about 2 tablespoons of blood. Blood and skin samples will be used for research at NIH and CDC. ...
RATIONALE: Tetracycline may be effective in preventing skin rash that is caused by treatment with drugs such as gefitinib or cetuximab. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying tetracycline to see how well it works compared to placebo in preventing skin rash in patients who are receiving drugs such as gefitinib or cetuximab for cancer.
This study will evaluate whether digital photography is a reliable tool for diagnosing hand rashes, psoriasis and unusual moles. The findings will help determine if this method can be used in the National Health and Nutrition Examination survey (NHANES), which monitors disease in the United States. Employees of the National Institutes of Health 19 years and older may enroll in this study. Participants will complete a brief questionnaire that includes information on skin type, history of skin conditions (moles, cancer, rashes, psoriasis), and demographic information such as name, age and sex. They will be examined by a dermatologist, who will note in writing the appearance of any hand rashes, unusual moles, or psoriasis. If any areas suspicious for skin cancer are found, the participant will receive this information in writing, along with advice about where to go for treatment. A total of six photographs will then be taken of the participant's arms, legs, hands and back. The face will not be photographed, and the participants will not be identifiable.
This study is being done to assess mogamulizumab-associated rash in patients diagnosed with mycosis fungoides or sezary syndrome and treated with standard of care mogamulizumab. One of the most common side effects of mogamulizumab is a rash, currently named mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) which can look like MF or SS. However, mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) does not indicate failure of mogamulizumab, and may be a sign that the drug is working. If not properly evaluated, mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) could be misinterpreted as worsening of mycosis fungoides/sezary syndrome, which could lead doctors to recommend stopping mogamulizumab treatment early. The information learned by doing this research study may help tell the difference between mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR) (sometimes also called "drug eruption") and worsening of the disease. It may also help to uncover information about the cause of mogamulizumab-associated rash (MAR).
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if topical application on the all surface of 10% Povidone Iodine (Povi-One) in healthy participants in transitional or permanent dentition (10-17 y) prevents new white spot lesions in the maxillary anterior teeth at 1 year of follow-up. Researchers will compare Povi-One to a placebo to see if Povi-One works to prevent new white spot lesions. It will also learn about the safety of topical 10% Povidone Iodine. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does Povi-One prevent the development of any white spot lesion on the surface of maxillary anterior teeth? 2. Does Povi-One lower the probability of any International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) score greater than 0 and mean modified Löe-Silness Gingival Index (GI) in the intervention group? Researchers will 1. Score GI without cleaning participants teeth, then score ICDAS of maxillary and mandibular incisors after participants brush and floss their teeth and take a photograph of maxillary 6 anterior teeth 2. Apply Povi-one (or control) at the consultation appointment before placing fixed orthodontic appliances and 3, 6, and 9 months after appliance placement Researchers will 1. Recall using Zoom 24-48 hours after the first application of Povi-One and examine the participant's mouth for oral lesions using a structured paper checklist 2. Interview the caregiver to complete a paper questionnaire on adverse effects Researchers will 1. Score GI, and then score ICDAS of maxillary and mandibular incisors in 6, 12 months after appliance placement 2. Evaluate the development of white spot lesions on maxillary central and lateral incisors in 6, and 12 months after appliance placement
This will be a randomized, efficacy assessor-blinded, parallel group, pilot study of up to 40 subjects with documented herpes labialis. Patients will be treated with the study drug, acyclovir-penciclovir cream, or the active comparator of Abreva. Potential subjects will be assessed during a screening visit that must take place no greater than 2 weeks prior to the Day 1 (Baseline) visit. During the screening period, subjects that meet all other entry criteria will undergo Ultraviolet susceptibility testing to determine the subject's individual minimal erythema dose (MED). Ultraviolet susceptibility testing takes place over two days with exposure to Ultraviolet light on specified regions on the subject's back followed by an assessment of the exposed areas 24 hours later to identify the MED. Subjects who have a measurable MED will be allowed to enroll in the study. Each subject will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either acyclovir-penciclovir cream or Comparator (Abreva). Patients who express a cold sore will track the lesion with a diary card to rate their pain levels, and any unusual symptoms at Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7, and Day 10. Patients may also take photographs of the lesion throughout the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether enhanced dermatologic management can reduce incidence of grade greater than or equal to (\>=) 2 dermatologic adverse events of interest (DAEIs) when compared with standard-of-care skin management in participants with locally advanced or metastatic stage IIIB/C-IV epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated first-line with amivantamab and lazertinib. A substudy will enroll participants from Arms A and B who experience specific new-onset or persistent DAEIs (Grade \>=2) during treatment with intravenous (IV) amivantamab and lazertinib. This substudy aims to assess the reactive use of dermatologic treatment strategies in these participants.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of a Healing Ointment in infants 2-24 months with mild to moderate diaper rash. The main question it aims to answer is: • does a Healing Ointment improve skin texture and smoothness in infants with mild to moderate diaper dermatitis? Participants will use a Healing Ointment on the diaper area with every diaper change, have the Investigator perform efficacy and tolerability assessments, and complete questionnaires regarding subject satisfaction.
The researcher are doing this study to find out whether benralizumab is effective at preventing skin rashes caused by alpelisib in people who have metastatic breast cancer. Skin rash is a common side effect of alpelisib. Researchers think adding benralizumab to the standard-of-care hormone treatment and alpelisib may prevent the patient from getting a rash.
Open labelled, virtual home based study to assess the test repeatability and the failure/rejection rate of the samples collected at home by participants.
The goal of this observational study is to establish an operational framework for home self-collections of blood samples to be used for antiviral drug concentration measurements. Participants will continue on their prescribed antiviral(s) for HIV treatment or prevention and followed for up to approximately 1 year. The investigators will compare drug concentrations of antivirals and relevant metabolites/anabolites in clinic-collected and self-collected blood samples.
This will be a randomized, efficacy assessor-blinded, parallel group, pilot study of up to 20 subjects with documented herpes labialis. Patients will be treated with the study drug, EDTA Eye Drops or the active comparator of Abreva. Potential subjects will be assessed during a screening visit that must take place no greater than 2 weeks prior to the Day 1 (Baseline) visit. During the screening period, subjects that meet all other entry criteria will undergo UV susceptibility testing to determine their individual MED (minimal erythemal dose). UV susceptibility testing takes place over two days with exposure to UV light on specified regions on the subject's back followed by an assessment of the exposed areas 24 hours later to identify the MED. Subjects who have a measurable MED will be allowed to enroll in the study. Each subject will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either EED or Comparator. Patients who express a cold sore will track the lesion with a diary card to rate their pain levels, and any unusual symptoms at Day 1, Day 3, Day 5, Day 7, and Day 10. Patients may also take photographs of the lesion throughout the study.

This early phase I trial studies the side effects of ketoconazole and how well it works in treating participants with ongoing EGFR inhibitor-induced rash. Ketoconazole may reduce the symptoms related to EGFR inhibitor therapy and improve EGFR inhibitor-induced rash.
This randomized, controlled, phase II clinical study is designed to assess the efficacy of preemptive treatment with topical steroids in preventing the papulopustular eruption induced by epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitor (EGFRI) treatment in cancer patients. Participants will be followed up for 6 weeks of twice daily application of triamcinolone cream to the face, chest, and back.
Adherence to daily dosing is very important for how well Emtricitabine/Tenofovir Alafenamide (F/TAF) works for treatment of chronic human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or prevention of HIV acquisition. Methods to measure medication adherence to Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF, TDF), a similar but different prodrug of tenofovir, have been developed but cannot be extrapolated to F-TAF. By measuring F-TAF (the drug) and metabolites in the blood cells and dried blood spots, the study plans to see if these results predict adherence to taking the drug. The goal of this study is to vary the amount of F-TAF dosing and see if the drug levels in dried blood spots (DBS) change in a predictable way. This study will mimic different levels of adherence (33%, 67%, and 100% of daily dosing) using directly observed therapy (DOT) to establish the relationship between F-TAF in dried blood spots and adherence. Investigators will also measure drug in hair clippings to see if hair or DBS are a better predictor of adherence.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the microbiome composition of infant's (9-12 month) skin experiencing diaper rash in order to determine if the onset and severity of erythema associated with diaper rash is influenced by the type of bacteria colonizing the skin.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether isotretinoin is helpful in treating patients with an adverse cutaneous drug eruption known as toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN).
The primary objective of this study is to define the mean, variance, and dose proportionality for tenofovir-diphosphate(TFV-DP) in dried blood spots resulting from 33%, 67%, and 100% of daily dosing with 200mg emtricitabine and 300mg of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (as Truvada®). With this information, a model will be established to predict adherence rates to TFV-DP using DBS. Forty-eight healthy HIV-uninfected adult participants who are at low risk for HIV infection will be randomized to one of 6 sequences consisting of two directly observed dosing regimens, 33%/67%, 33%/100%, 67%/33%, 67%/100%, 100%/33%, and 100%/67% with each dose regimen lasting approximately 12 weeks, separated by an approximately 12 week washout period. DBS will be collected at regular intervals, including during the washout. The hypothesis of the study is that levels of TFV-DP in DBS will predict adherence rates in the preceding 1-3 months.
The purpose of this study is to see if the investigators can prevent or reduce the severity of the Cetuximab-related acne rash. Two different topical agents will be applied to the skin. One topical agent is the dapsone gel and the other is a skin moisturizer. Dapsone gel is an FDA approved medication that you apply to the face. It is commonly used to treat acne. Skin moisturizers are recommended to patients who receive Cetuximab treatment. In addition to these topical agents they will be given a pill to take once a day. This pill has already been shown to help fight rashes from Cetuximab.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether picosecond laser is effective in the treatment of age (sun) spots.
