Clinical Trials

Clearlyderm offers several Clinical Research Studies. Participating in a Clinical Research Study can allow you to gain access to drugs and medications before they are made available to the general public. Our research team is led by Dr. Andrea Colton M.D., FAAD and Dr. Julia Escandon Brehm, MD, PhD.

If eligible, you will receive all study-related medical care and study-related medicine at no cost. Participants may receive a stipend and reimbursement for travel expenses. No medical insurance is needed.

We are now recruiting patients for the following research studies:

ATOPIC DERMATITIS / ECZEMA

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a skin condition caused by skin inflammation. Typically, eczema causes the skin to become itchy, red and dry-even cracked and leathery. Over 30 million Americans have some form of eczema.

BULLOUS PEMPHIGOID

A rare skin condition causes large, fluid-filled blisters. It can usually appear on the belly, chest, arms, legs, groin, or armpits. It may occur in the mouth as sores. The risk of developing this condition increases with age. Symptoms include fluid-filled blisters that are often located along creases in the skin. Affected skin may be itchy.

PEDIATRIC PSORIASIS

A skin disorder that causes skin cells to multiply up to 10 times faster than normal. This makes the skin build up into bumpy red patches covered with white scales. They can grow anywhere, but most appear on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back.

PRURIGO NODULARIS (PN)

A skin disease that causes hard, itchy lumps (nodules) to form on the skin. The itching (pruritus) can be intense, causing people to scratch themselves to the point of bleeding or pain. Scratching can cause more skin lesions to appear.

BASAL CELL CARCINOMA

A type of skin cancer that begins in the basal cells. Basal cells produce new skin cells as old ones die. Limiting sun exposure can help prevent these cells from becoming cancerous. This cancer typically appears as a white waxy lump or a brown scaly patch on sun-exposed areas, such as the face and neck.

HIDRADENITIS SUPPURATIVA

A chronic skin condition featuring lumps in places such as the armpits or groin. The skin lesions develop due to inflammation and infection of sweat glands. This condition features pea- to marble-sized lumps under the skin that can be painful and tend to enlarge and drain pus.

PEMPHIGUS VULGARIS / PEMPHIGUS FOLIACEUS

Pemphigus Vulgaris and Pemphigus Foliaceus are in a family of autoimmune diseases that affect the skin and mucous membranes and cause blisters and sores in the mouth and throughout the body.
