This trial tests whether an oral medication called zasocitinib (TAK-279) can reduce the redness, thickening, scaling, and painful cracks of palmoplantar psoriasis, a type of psoriasis that affects the palms and soles. Adults with moderate-to-severe non-pustular palmoplantar psori…

This phase 3 trial is testing whether giving men with metastatic prostate cancer half the standard dose of certain hormone therapies (called ARPIs) can be just as effective as the full dose, while causing less fatigue and fewer treatment stoppages. About 1,500 men with prostate c…

This trial evaluates a gene therapy skin graft called prademagene zamikeracel (pz-cel) for treating wounds in people with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a severe genetic condition that causes fragile skin and chronic wounds. The study includes three parts: one…

This Phase 3 trial tests whether combining two drugs, tofacitinib and imatinib, can safely clear the painful pustules of palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), a rare chronic skin disease on the palms and soles. About 135 adults with moderate-to-severe PPP will receive either the combo o…

This early-phase trial tests whether low doses of erlotinib, a drug originally used for cancer, can improve symptoms of rare genetic skin conditions called keratinopathies. About 44 adults with confirmed diagnoses will take increasing doses over 24 weeks. The goal is to see if it…

This trial tests whether different scaffolds—a blood clot or various platelet-rich fibrin preparations—can improve healing in teeth that need a second root canal treatment. Sixty participants will receive one of four scaffolds during the procedure and be followed for a year. The …

This study compares two treatments for palmoplantar psoriasis, a form of psoriasis affecting the palms and soles. One group receives a topical steroid cream alone, while the other receives the same cream plus a fractional CO2 laser treatment every four weeks. The goal is to see i…

This study tests whether a cream containing 10% cholesterol improves skin barrier function and quality of life more than a standard 10% urea cream in people with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI), a rare genetic condition causing dry, scaly skin. Each participant a…

This study looks at whether adding stem cells from the shoulder bursa and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to standard rotator cuff repair helps the tendon heal better. About 200 adults with full-thickness supraspinatus tears will be followed for a year. Researchers will compare those …

This early-phase study tests whether the drug efgartigimod (VYVGART) can lower harmful collagen VII antibodies and improve wound healing in people with two rare blistering skin conditions: recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA)…

This study tests a combination of darolutamide, hormone therapy, and a lower dose of the chemotherapy drug docetaxel in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can keep PSA levels very low (below 0.2 ng/mL) at 24 weeks while redu…

This study tests whether the drug Bimzelx (bimekizumab) can improve skin symptoms in adults with pityriasis rubra pilaris, a rare condition causing red, scaly patches. Researchers will enroll 12 participants and measure how many achieve at least 75% improvement in skin severity a…

This early-phase trial tests whether adding a dietary supplement called LC-K76 to standard hormone therapy is safe for men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Forty men will receive the supplement plus hormone therapy for 24 weeks, then be followed for another 24 w…

This pilot trial is testing whether a topical gel called Filsuvez, made from birch triterpenes, is safe and helpful for people aged 6 months and older with moderate-to-severe epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS), a condition causing fragile skin and blisters. Participants will app…

This study investigates whether budesonide, an anti-inflammatory medication, can improve swallowing difficulties in people with dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, a rare genetic condition that causes fragile skin and scarring. The researchers will review medical records of 15 pati…

This study tests whether Changji'an capsules, a traditional Chinese medicine, can reduce diarrhea and stomach pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) where diarrhea is the main symptom. About 636 adults aged 18 to 65 will take the capsule or a placebo for 8 weeks. The …

This Phase 3 study tests the safety of SD-101 cream (6% allantoin) in 80 people with epidermolysis bullosa, a condition that causes fragile, blistering skin. Participants must have completed a prior study (SD-007). The main goal is to track any side effects over time.

This study tests whether adding MELA B3 serum to a 35% glycolic acid peel works better than the peel alone for treating dark spots (melasma, post-acne marks, age spots) and signs of aging. About 80 adults aged 30-70 in Buenos Aires will use the treatments for 3 months. The goal i…

This study tests whether a small, watch-sized device that delivers mild electrical stimulation to the skin can improve symptoms in people with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). Researchers will compare the real device to a sham (fake) version in 200 adults ag…

This study looks at the blood immune cells of 10 adults with a rare inherited skin condition called NIPAL4 ichthyosis. Researchers want to understand why three patients with this skin disease also developed a very rare lymphoma (Sezary syndrome). By describing the normal immune c…

This study looks at whether a test called minimal residual disease (MRD) can help predict how well treatment works in men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Researchers will track 50 newly diagnosed patients to see how different gene patterns affect treatment resp…

This study will create and test simple picture-based tools (pictograms) to help children aged 8 to 17 describe symptoms like constipation, bloating, and stomach pain. Many kids struggle to explain what they feel, which can lead to misdiagnosis. The goal is to see if these pictogr…
