Clinical studies are ongoing to evaluate the efficacy of new therapeutic agents for variety of indications. The staff are experienced in topical, systemic and novel biologic therapeutics. They coordinate trials across multiple locations, including the NIH-funded General Clinical Research Center and the Ireland Cancer Center Infusion Unit. The Clinical Trials Unit (CTU) maintains a professional infrastructure for testing new agents and protocols for patients with skin diseases. The dermatology CTU provides a resource for industry and government for skilled assessment of skin disease. The Department has cultivated a very large pool of patients, both from within the institution and from a large referral base, who are regularly recruited into clinical trials, effecting rapid enrollment. The CTU is actively involved in study design, all phases of clinical testing, and the FDA approval process of investigational new drugs.
The Clinical Trials Unit of the Department of Dermatology provides patients with the opportunity to participate in studies of the newest medications that are being evaluated as potential therapies. Past projects include trials in psoriasis, eczema, skin lymphoma, melanoma, shingles, pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid, alopecia, acne, warts, fungal infections, onychomycosis, tinea pedis/cruris/versicolor, herpes zoster, genital warts, postherpic neuralgia, Kaposi's sarcoma, graft vs. host disease, urticaria, and photoaging. All patients seen in our practice are eligible to enroll in such studies which are funded by pharmaceutical, private, or governmental sources.
