First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study compares a new selegiline skin patch to an existing one (EMSAM®) to see how well the skin tolerates it. Researchers will apply both patches to 230 healthy adults and check for irritation or allergic reactions. The goal is to ensure the new patch is safe for the skin before further testing.
