Advancing Dermatology Through Clinical Research
Clinical trials allow our research teams to evaluate new and emerging therapies before they become widely available. These studies help researchers better understand how investigational treatments work, evaluate their safety and effectiveness, and identify new approaches to dermatologic care.
Research opportunities vary based on currently enrolling studies and may be available for both adult and pediatric patients.
Why Participate in a Clinical Trial?
Choosing to participate in clinical research is a personal decision. For eligible patients, participation may provide an opportunity to:
- Access investigational treatment options that may not yet be widely available
- Receive study-related medical care and diagnostic testing at no cost
- Receive careful evaluation and monitoring throughout the study
- Learn more about your skin condition and potential treatment options
- Receive compensation for time and travel when offered by the study
- Contribute to research that may help improve dermatologic care for future patients
