Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is a condition that makes your skin red and itchy. It's common in children but can occur at any age.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads, or pimples.

Phase I- The purpose of Phase 1 is to ensure that the treatment is safe in humans and to determine how and where it distributes within the body.

Phase II- The purpose of a Phase 2 Clinical Trial is to determine the right dosage and effectiveness in treating that particular disease.

Phase III- A Phase 3 Clinical Trial involves a much larger group of volunteers and primarily focuses on determining whether the treatment* would be safe and effective for a wide variety of people.

Phase IV- After approval by the FDA and manufacturing of the drug on a large scale by the sponsor, the process enters what is called Phase 4 Clinical Trial/Post-Market Surveillance/Report Adverse Events.

The IRB (Institutional Review Board) along with the Ethics Committee, exist to protect the welfare of participants in clinical trials. All aspects of any clinical trial, both before the investigator can enroll participants and throughout the trial are carefully & thoroughly reviewed by the IRB and Ethics Committee.

Our research department conducts research at the request of medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers. In doing so, data is collected to provide insight into the safety and effectiveness of new products. These same manufacturers share the common goal of having their product or device meet FDA requirements to be approved and marketed.

Every clinical trial has specific criteria required to be met to determine whether you may qualify for a study. Please complete our Study Interest Form below and a research coordinator will contact you for a pre-screening evaluation and to provide more information regarding current or future clinical trials.

Informed consent is one of the most important aspects of research ethics. Regulations requiring informed consent have been created to protect the human subjects participating in clinical research. Informed consent is an ongoing process that must occur before any clinical trial-related procedures are conducted. The process consists of documentation and a series of conversations between the clinical trial participant and the principal investigator and delegated health care professionals, as appropriate.

You may discontinue participation in a study for any reason and at any point during the study.
