- Ages 18 to 55 years
- All sexes
- Healthy volunteers accepted
- Adult
Who may be able to join
- A woman of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive serum (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [beta-HCG]) at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test prior to study intervention administration on Day -4
- Must have Fitzpatrick skin type II or III (10 participants) or type IV or higher (2 participants)
- Otherwise healthy on the basis of physical examination, medical history, and vital signs, and, if required by the applicable Intervention Specific Appendix (ISA), a 12-lead Electrocardiography (ECG) performed at screening. Any abnormalities must be considered not clinically significant or consistent with the underlying illness in the study population and this determination must be recorded
- Otherwise healthy on the basis of clinical laboratory tests performed at screening. If the results of the serum chemistry panel, hematology, or urinalysis are outside the normal reference ranges, the participant may be included only if the investigator judges the abnormalities or deviations from normal to be not clinically significant or to be appropriate and reasonable for the population under study. This determination must be recorded in the participant's source documents and initialed by the investigator

Who cannot join
- Has a history of dysplastic melanocytic nevi or skin cancer
- Known hypersensitivity, intolerance to UV/sunlight exposure, or any condition associated with photosensitivity
- Has Fitzpatrick skin type I, as determined by the investigator. A person with Fitzpatrick skin type I typically has unexposed skin that is bright white with frequent freckling, has blue/green eyes, and is of Northern European/British descent. They typically burn, peel, and don't tan in response to ultraviolet B (UVB)
- Has a history of chronic skin conditions, such as vitiligo, psoriasis, rosacea, severe eczema, or atopic dermatitis, and/or severe acne that would complicate or preclude evaluation of the minimal erythema dose (MED) testing and UVB challenge sites
- Has used topical antibiotics or topical corticosteroids within 1 month prior to study intervention administration and/or has a history of extensive and prolonged use (greater than [>] 3 months) of topical antibiotics or topical corticosteroids

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
UVB ChallengeRadiation
UVB challenge will be administered dermally through Lumera Phototherapy System.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Ultraviolet B (UVB) Challenge | Experimental | Participants will receive UVB (various doses) for minimal erythema dose (MED) assessment at baseline following which there will be washout period. Participants will then receive a single dose of UVB challenge dermally through Lumera Phototherapy System on Day 1, twice (2*) the MED at the challenge site with no UVB exposure at the contralateral control site. Receives: Radiation: UVB Challenge |
What is being measured

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Early Phase 1 study testing UVB Challenge in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 1 site in Belgium.
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 5 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 10 Dec 2021. 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 Belgium. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Changes in Gene Expression as Measured by Counts of Transcript per Million Reads (time frame: Up to Week 6). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Dec 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
