Blood, Urine, and Tissue Collection for Cutaneous Lymphoma, Eczema, and Atopic Dermatitis Research

February 16, 2024 updated by: Oleg E. Akilov, MD, PhD, University of Pittsburgh

Peripheral Blood, Urine and Skin Sample Collection for Cutaneous Lymphoma, Eczema, and Atopic Dermatitis Research

This is a tissue, urine, and blood banking protocol for cutaneous t-cell lymphoma (CTCL), eczema, and atopic dermatitis patients for current and future research.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to provide a central mechanism for monitoring access to peripheral blood, urine, and skin specimens obtained from CTCL, eczema, and atopic dermatitis patients to monitor:

  • immunologic assays/flow cytometry
  • tumor progression/regression
  • genomic studies
  • proteomic studies
  • others germane to the advancement of CTCL treatment

Study Type

Observational
