For many people who have moderate to severe skin conditions there is no treatment that works. These conditions can cause constant stress, discomfort, and physical and emotional pain.
Medical research is the answer. Advanced drugs to treat skin conditions are steadily progressing to be more effective, safer, and even less costly, because of clinical trials.
Participating in a clinical trial involves an initial screening visit, a treatment period and a small number of follow-up visits.
During screening it is our responsibility to evaluate your health and make sure that you understand the potential benefits and risks of the trial fully.
During the treatment period, participants receive the study drug and attend clinic visits for testing and surveys. Visit frequency varies by trial, ranging from every 2 weeks to every 2 months, and the treatment duration also differs between trials.
After treatment, follow-up visits allow study doctors to learn more about the drug and to check in on your health.
A clinical trial is an experiment to investigate a medical intervention. An intervention can be a drug, a diet, a tool, or anything that doctors believe could improve a patient’s quality of life. In our case, the intervention is advanced drugs for skin disease.
To protect the rights and safety of trial participants governments regulate and inspect clinical trials. Highly developed ethical codes and scientific practice are key to the success of any clinical trial.
