By layering in the lived patient experience, our indication champions take trial strategy to the next level.
Expanding patient access to dermatology clinical trials
We are positioned to help sponsors complete dermatology studies rapidly and successfully through our extensive experience in dermatology clinical trials, an international network of sites experienced in key indications like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and HS, access to a large database of potential trial participants, and a commitment to tailored trial design. Through our proprietary network of sites, our customers can receive 50–100% of their entire trial enrollment from one accountable solution, delivered by clinical research locations that operate uniformly across the globe.
Our dermatology team has established stable connections with most patient advocacy groups (PAGs) active in dermatology diseases, proving effective for the successful execution of clinical trials from a patient-centric protocol design until the final effective and timely recruitment.

Dermatologic conditions represent a leading cause of disability worldwide. It’s an exciting time in dermatology product development where unmet medical needs in psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and other diseases can be addressed with novel molecules, monoclonal antibodies, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAK) and other products that work across the inflammatory pathway.
