NCT ID NCT03932279

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at the bacteria living on the skin of people with cutaneous T cell lymphoma, a rare type of skin cancer. Researchers will compare these bacteria to those on healthy people and people with other skin conditions like psoriasis. The goal is to understand if certain bacteria are linked to the disease, which could help in future research.
