About this study
Official title: Utilization of a Cutaneous Therapy In Situ Microdevice
This study is being done to test a microdevice, which is a small device designed to test drugs directly on skin conditions like atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis.
The small device, about the size of a grain of rice, has up to 20 tiny reservoirs that hold medications that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Very small amounts of these medications will be released into the skin (at levels in your body much lower than are typically used). In this study, the device will be tested to see if it's safe and works well for predicting how the skin will react to standard treatments. We will also look at how these reactions are connected to genetic information and overall treatment results.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of participants with adverse events
The safety of microdevice placement and removal will be based on assessment of adverse events.
Measured: 1 year
Proportion of retrieved devices with assessable tissue
The feasibility of microdevice analysis based on the ability to place and retrieve the device with sufficient tissue, of sufficient quality, for downstream histopathology/molecular analysis and interpretation of at least 80% of the device reservoirs.
Measured: 1 year
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change in local skin inflammation (molecular assays)
Feasibility of utilizing quantitative histopathologic assessment and/or transcriptional profiling to determine whether there is local change in lesional rash-affected skin with clinically relevant skin inflammation treating agents.
Measured: 1 year

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This study is being done to test a microdevice, which is a small device designed to test drugs directly on skin conditions like atopic dermatitis (eczema) and psoriasis.
The small device, about the size of a grain of rice, has up to 20 tiny reservoirs that hold medications that are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Very small amounts of these medications will be released into the skin (at levels in your body much lower than are typically used). In this study, the device will be tested to see if it's safe and works well for predicting how the skin will react to standard treatments. We will also look at how these reactions are connected to genetic information and overall treatment results.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing In situ cutaneous microdevice, Triamcinolone and 5-Fluorouracil in people with Psoriasis and Atopic Dermatitis, run by University of California, San Francisco at 1 site in United States.
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 1 inclusion and 0 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jun 2026. 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 United States. 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?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Raymond Cho, MD, PhD (415-353-7800, raymond.cho@ucsf.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of participants with adverse events (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07352566, which also lists 4 linked publications.
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 3 Jun 2026.
