NCT ID NCT06464133
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find specific gene changes (filaggrin mutations) in 300 Latinx adults with eczema. Researchers will use advanced DNA testing to see how these changes relate to the disease. The goal is to better understand eczema in this group, not to test a new treatment.
