About this study

Official title: Using the SpiderMass(TM) for in Vivo and Real Time Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Subject's Epidermis Suffering From Chronic Inflammatory Dermatosis Compared to Control Groups

The physiological states of the skin are characterized by a certain homeostasis linked to the balance of the metabolic pathways. When these pathways are deregulated, the proteic, lipidic and metabolic is affected. It is thus possible to follow a change in the state of the skin by looking at change in the associated molecular profile.

The PRISM laboratory (INSERM U1192) in Lille has developed an innovative system laser called SpiderMass composed of 4 parts:

Read more
  1. A laser used for the micro-sampling of material in vivo,
  2. A transport transfer line of the ablated particles,
  3. A mass spectrometer that analyzes them in real time and generates the molecular profiles of the epidermis,
  4. A data analysis procedure.

The SpiderMass(TM) is of great interest for the study of the skin because it allows non-invasive vivo characterization, and therefore without biopsy or sample preparation. In addition, it will complement techniques already used in the research center such as FTIR spectroscopy. Indeed, in acne studies the FTIR allows to obtain only the Fatty Acid Triglycerid ratio while the SpiderMass permits to detail these lipid classes by each observed molecule on the surface of the skin and follow their evolution.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing in-vivo mesure, Scotch and Lipid index in people with Acne and Atopic Dermatitis, run by Pierre Fabre Dermo Cosmetique 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?

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 7 Jun 2024. 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?

Signals and molecular profiles (including lipid) of the epidermis (time frame: baseline). The study lists 7 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 7 Jun 2024.
