Physical urticaria

This study tests an investigational drug called barzolvolimab in 240 adults who get hives from cold temperatures or from scratching their skin, and whose symptoms are not controlled by standard allergy pills. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo injection, and doctor…

This study tests a new drug called remibrutinib (a tablet) against a placebo in 44 adults with chronic hives (either spontaneous or triggered by things like pressure or cold). The goal is to see if it reduces symptoms like itching and burning, and how it works in the body. Partic…

This study tests an experimental drug called BLU-808 for people with chronic hives (urticaria) that don't get better with standard antihistamines. The drug works by blocking a protein called KIT, which may help control the allergic reaction causing the hives. About 105 adults wil…

This early-stage study tests a new imaging agent called 18F-4FN for PET scans to safely detect inflammation in the body. It involves 55 adults with cancer who are on immunotherapy or have suspected inflammation. The goal is to see if this agent can highlight areas of inflammation…

This study is testing a software tool called Belle.ai that uses artificial intelligence to help doctors diagnose common skin diseases. About 400 patients at dermatology clinics will have three photos taken of their skin condition. The AI will analyze the photos and suggest possib…

This study tests a group counseling program called Healing HEARTS to help people with conditions like obesity, skin disease, cancer, HIV, diabetes, or chronic pain deal with internalized stigma. Participants will either join the counseling program or a peer support group. The goa…

This early-stage study tests a single dose of an experimental drug called GTX-B001 in healthy people and those with chronic inducible urticaria—a condition where cold or scratching causes painful hives. The main goal is to check safety and how the body handles the drug. About 72 …

This study collects biological samples—like blood, skin biopsies, and swabs—from people with or at risk for skin diseases, as well as healthy volunteers. Researchers will use these samples to study the causes of skin conditions and explore potential treatments. Up to 700 particip…

This pilot study is measuring prednisolone levels in 120 people with inflammatory diseases like thyroid eye disease, vasculitis, COPD, asthma, and others. Participants take high-dose prednisolone as part of their routine care, and researchers take timed blood samples to see how t…

This study looks at 320 adults who are about to start strong immune-suppressing therapy and have already had at least two COVID-19 shots. Researchers want to find out if giving a COVID-19 booster right before starting therapy or waiting six months provides better protection. Part…

This study aims to find biological markers (biomarkers) that can help diagnose and monitor chronic induced urticaria (CIndU), a condition where specific triggers like cold or pressure cause itchy hives or swelling. Researchers will compare 40 participants—including people with CI…

This study looks at how skin conditions related to cancer or cancer treatments affect the well-being of cancer patients and survivors. About 1,025 participants will fill out questionnaires about their skin condition. The goal is to better understand these effects and improve trea…
