Microcystic lymphatic malformations (mLMs) are masses of spongy tissue that may have small fluid-filled cysts. They are made of abnormally large or misshapen lymph vessels that do not work correctly. They are usually present at birth and get worse over time. Complications of mLMs include infection, bleeding, leaking of lymphatic fluid, disfigurement, and impaired mobility. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study medicine, sirolimus 3.9% topical gel, can help with the treatment of mLMs.

Total duration of the study is approximately 14 months, with up to 8 visits (approximately 1 visit per month). 5 visits will occur in person and 3 visits will be phone call visits. You will also complete 2 interviews. After the first 14 months, you will have phone call visits every 84 days until either the study is discontinued, or you decide to no longer participate. Procedures involved in the study include: medical history collection, physical exams, skin assessments, patient interviews, photographs, blood draws (at 3 visits), urine tests, and questionnaires.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 18 weeks of HyBryte (topical gel) treatment in combination with visible light therapy in subjects with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma when compared to placebo (no active ingredient). Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), of which the most common early stages are also known as mycosis fungoides (MF), is the most common type of T cell lymphoma. Participants will be enrolled in this trial for 30 weeks and will follow up at the clinic site every 4 weeks following the last trial treatment for a total of 12 weeks.

Participants will attend in person visits over 30 weeks. At different timepoints throughout the study participants will have their skin evaluated and photographed, have blood drawn, have an ECG done, and apply the study medication as directed by the study team.

Phase 3, global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center study that will evaluate upadacitinib in the treatment of moderate to severe HS in adult and adolescent subjects who have failed to respond to or are intolerant of ant-TNF therapy and/or 1 approved non-anti-TNF-biologic therapy for HS. This study is comprised of a 35-day screening period, a 16 week placebo-controlled, double-blinded treatment period (Period 1), a 20-week re-randomized extension treatment period (Period 2), a 68-week long-term extension treatment period (Period 3) and a 30-day follow-up period.

You will completed 3 study periods over approximately 104 weeks. During that time at different time points you will have your skin examined, ECG, complete questionnaires, and have your labs drawn. In addition you will take the study medication as directed by the research study coordinators.

Participants 18 years and older who meet the diagnostic criteria for the basal cell nevus (Gorlin) syndrome will be assigned to receive either Patidegib Gel 2% or Placebo (no active medicine) to apply twice daily for 12 months. The assignment will be made according to sex assigned at birth, age, and number of BCC lesions at the treatment area at Baseline. The primary endpoint is a comparison between the 2 treatment arms of the number of new BCCs at Month 12 compared to Baseline. The BCCs will be imaged and tracked consistently throughout the study to identify new BCCs and to confirm their diagnosis by dermoscopy (handheld instrument with a 15x magnification lens and a cross-polarized light source).

Participants will participate in 15 visits over approximately 14 months (attend 6 in person visits along with 9 phone call visits). In addition, participants will receive study medication to apply twice a day for 12 months and undergo clinical tests at various time points, which include blood tests, ECG, complete questionnaires/diary, skin exam and skin photographs.

Compensation is provided for eligible participants.

Our first, aim is to quantify the superficial traits among the Hazara, Tajik, and Pashtun populations of Afghanistan by using a computer-based 3D morphometric method. We want to quantify the facial traits, voices and pigmentation, identify genetic regions affecting these traits, and plot phylogenetic trees to explain the probable facial variation and evidence of shared genetic basis they might exhibit across population. The expected number of participants in the study will be ~ 500 individuals which will provide us a better understanding of the evolution of superficial traits among these Afghan ethnic groups. This will be the first study to focus on Afghanistan's population which will provide important insights into a diverse and understudied set of human populations. As a result, a more comprehensive examination of facial genetics could be performed. Our second aim for the study is to uncover which genetic variants affect superficial trait variation by using next-generation sequencing (NGS). To achieve this goal, human saliva samples will be collected which will undergo genetic laboratory procedures for DNA extraction, amplification, quantification, and genotyping. The finding will help us to learn more about the qualitative and quantitative facial genetic variability. We hypothesize that facial variability among Hazara, Tajik, and Pashtun is greater than expected which can lead us to other questions about ancestry, migration, and human evolution. From their geographic proximity genetic and computational analysis will allow us to answer the question of how facial pigmentation and vocal variation among these populations leads to genetic diversity. Climate, migration history, and mate choice are the major contributors to phenotypic variation in the population. Our qualitative and quantitative data will be the best source of understanding facial morphological variation across populations, and how past migration affects gene flow, which has a direct effect on these traits which evolved jointly and differently in each population. Our third aim for this project is to look for forensically important markers that can contribute to the field of forensic genetics and enhance law enforcement and forensic investigations. The discovery of novel forensically important markers that can shape phenotypic variation will make major contributions to the field of forensic anthropology. The fourth and final objective of this research is to determine how human migration affects the variation of the oral microbiome and the subsequent effects of this diversity on human well-being, diet, energetics, and microbial genus.

Our team is visiting the participant location to collect hair, voice, saliva, and 3D images. It will take 30 minutes for each participant to complete the entire activity.

Patients with the clinical diagnosis of mild, moderate to severe Hidradenditis Suppurativa or normal healthy volunteers ages 18 and older to participate in a 1 time study visit. There is no treatment provided but we may gain information for the treatment of HS.

Eligible participants will attend a one time in person visit. During the visit, the study team will ask you to participate in the following activities: collect skin sample, blood sample and cheek swab. Take photographs of your HS lesions.

The purpose of this research is to measure clinical safety and efficacy (effectiveness) of oral brepocitinib in adults with cutaneous sarcoidosis. Participation in this study is expected to last for up to 24 weeks (about 6 months). During treatment period, visits will be scheduled about every 4 weeks.

Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune disease that causes non-scarring hair loss that can be relapsing and chronic. It affects patients of all ages, races, and genders. Symptoms can range from patchy hair loss usually affecting the scalp, to complete scalp hair loss (alopecia universalis) or complete loss of hair on the scalp, face, and body (alopecia totalis). AA has a detrimental impact on patients' emotional wellbeing, self-esteem, social interactions, and quality of life, and psychiatric conditions such as anxiety and depression are more common in patients with AA compared to healthy controls. The purpose of this study is to find out if the study medicine, Ritlecitinib, can help with the treatment of AA.

Study participation will last approximately 57weeks. During the study, participants will attend 9 in person visits in the research office. At different timepoints the participant will have their hair examined, blood drawn, have an ECG and chest x-ray done, have photos taken of their scalp and face, answer questionnaires, and take study medication as directed by the study team.
