Metabolic Profiling of Immune Responses in Immune-mediated Diseases

This study aims to understand how your immune system and skin healing are connected. Researchers want to learn more about conditions like primary immunodeficiency (when your immune system doesn't work properly), psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis (eczema). They are looking for changes in skin microbes (germs on your skin) and substances in your skin that are linked to wound healing or immune problems. They also want to see how metabolic pathways (the chemical processes in your body) are related to immune responses and wound healing. This study is observational, meaning no specific interventions are being tested. It is open to people aged 18 to 75 with these conditions, as well as healthy volunteers. The study's status is currently unclear.

Study design
This is an observational study aiming to enroll 300 participants, including healthy volunteers and those with immune-mediated diseases.
What's involved
You will have a medical history review, physical exam, and potentially a pregnancy test. You may also have blood draws, skin biopsies (up to four), skin swabs, and tape strips collected.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Measurements will be taken throughout the study, but a specific follow-up duration is not mentioned.
