NCT ID NCT00842283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how abnormal blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) contributes to various skin diseases like rosacea, psoriasis, and certain tumors. Researchers will collect skin samples from 85 volunteers aged 16 and older to analyze markers of angiogenesis. The goal is to better understand these conditions and potentially develop new treatments that target blood vessel growth.
