Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study will investigate a new diagnostic technology in order to expand current understanding of inflammatory and neoplastic cutaneous disease processes such as eczema, psoriasis, granuloma annulare, cutaneous lymphoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Protein fragments found in sweat will be collected using a diagnostic skin patch and analyzed with mass spectrometry. The goal of this study is to identify specific protein fragment biomarkers that may further current understanding of cutaneous diseases. The protein expression patterns derived from sweat will be compared to conventional histopathologic, immunohistochemical, flow cytometry, in-situ hybridization, polymerase chain reaction, and mass spectrometry analyses of cutaneous biopsy specimens. The insight gained from this research will be used to promote advances in disease prevention and early diagnosis, identify prognostic indicators and new therapeutic targets.
