CLINICAL RESEARCH

About our dermatology clinical trials

At Sanova Dermatology, our Center for Skin Research conducts medical and cosmetic dermatology clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies, cosmeceutical brands, laser developers, and clinical research organizations. We study skin, hair, and nail conditions, including acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and actinic keratosis. We also evaluate cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers, lasers, and anti-aging products—many seeking FDA approval.

As a dermatology clinical research site, we play an important role in helping innovative therapies prove their safety and effectiveness so they can reach patients. Our work with generic medications helps make treatments more affordable for consumers.

Types of skin research studies we conduct

MEDICAL DERMATOLOGY TRIALS

We conduct medical dermatology research for both major and emerging pharmaceutical companies. These studies test new and generic oral and topical medications for conditions including:

Acne
Psoriasis
Rosacea
Actinic keratosis
Other skin, hair, and nail disorders

COSMETIC DERMATOLOGY TRIALS

Our cosmetic dermatology clinical trials evaluate products and procedures designed to improve skin appearance and health. These may include:

Dermal fillers (temporary and permanent)
Laser treatments for wrinkles, skin rejuvenation, and pigmentation
Skincare products, cosmeceuticals, and anti-aging formulations

Benefits of participating in a clinical trial

Participating in a dermatology research study gives patients access to innovative therapies and advanced treatments before they are widely available. Study participants receive free skin exams from board-certified dermatologists, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants; study-related medications or treatments at no cost; and get additional tests such as blood work, ECGs, or other health screenings—often revealing previously unknown health concerns By participating, you are helping advance dermatology science while potentially benefiting your own skin and overall health.

Safety and informed consent

We understand that joining a clinical trial can feel intimidating, and patients often have concerns about safety, transparency, and commitment. All of our trials are carefully supervised by board-certified dermatologists and adhere to strict FDA and institutional guidelines to ensure the highest standards of safety. Our clinical research coordinators (CRCs) guide you through every step of the study and review all details thoroughly. Before participating, you will sign a comprehensive informed consent document that explains exactly what to expect during the trial. Importantly, participants are free to leave a study at any time, for any reason, without any penalty. Our priority is to make sure every participant feels informed, comfortable, and confident in their decision to join a study.
