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

Summary

This study is collecting skin and blood samples from 830 people with chronic inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema, and lupus. Researchers want to find biological markers that can predict how well a person will respond to treatment after one year. The goal is to move away from trial-and-error and toward personalized treatment plans.
