Trial summary

Natural Killer (NK) cells play a unique role during innate immune responses as they are able to recognize and eliminate, without specific sensitization, tumors, microbe-infected cells as well as allogeneic cells.In a first time, we will characterize the tissue distribution, the phenotype and the effector functions of… Read more about this study

About this study

Natural Killer (NK) cells play a unique role during innate immune responses as they are able to recognize and eliminate, without specific sensitization, tumors, microbe-infected cells as well as allogeneic cells.In a first time, we will characterize the tissue distribution, the phenotype and the effector functions of NK cells present in the human healthy skin.

Read the detailed description

Then, we will define whether these parameters are qualitatively/ quantitatively modified in the following skin pathologies: a) atopic dermatitis; b) contact dermatitis; c) psoriasis ; d) lichen planus ; e) GVH (graft versus host disease) ; (f) melanoma.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. In a first time, we will characterize the tissue distribution, the phenotype and the effector functions of NK cells present in the human healthy skin.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To determine whether the eventual modifications detected in skin pathologies are correlated to qualitative/ quantitative alterations of NK cell subsets present in the peripheral blood.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biopsy and sample of blood in people with Atopic Dermatitis and Contact Dermatitis, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

In a first time, we will characterize the tissue distribution, the phenotype and the effector functions of NK cells present in the human healthy skin. (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Aug 2014.
