Types of Dermatology Clinical Trials at our FL Locations

Phase 0 Trials

Also known as exploratory trials or microdosing studies, Phase 0 trials are the earliest phase of dermatology clinical research.  At our Florida clinics, the trials involve a small number of participants (usually fewer than 15) and administer a sub-therapeutic dose of the investigational drug or treatment. The main objective is to gather initial information on how the drug behaves in the human body, including its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
