Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study aims to examine both the genetic profile and the biomarkers implicated in keloid scar formation. Hypothesis: 1. Differences in the genetic profiles of lesional and non-lesional skin contribute a given population's propensity to develop keloids 2. Differences in biomolecules expressed in subjects with and without keloids can help predict keloid occurrence and severity 3. Biomarker analysis will provide useful insights for future targeted therapies for keloid scars

Investigators

The overall officials registered on this study. Names that resolve to a FindMyKOL profile link to it; the rest are shown as registered.

A profile link is shown only when the registered name resolves to a person record with a confident, namesake-checked match; ambiguous names stay unlinked.

Sites

1 registered facility, with the per-site recruitment status where the registry publishes one. ClinicalTrials.gov does not publish per-site enrollment counts.

United States
  • Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Department of Dermatology

    Chicago, Illinois, United States

Site investigator names are published by ClinicalTrials.gov only while a study recruits, so completed studies list sites without them.
