About Clinical Research

Clinical research studies seek to advance and improve treatment options for a variety of conditions, including atopic dermatitis (AD). Some studies are designed to answer questions about the safety and efficacy of potential new drugs, and some research studies evaluate drugs that have already been approved.

Quick Facts

Clinical research studies must be performed before a new drug or treatment can be approved for use and made available to the public.
There are common traits that people must have to participate in a research study, called eligibility criteria. Common criteria include age, sex, medical history, and other medical conditions.
Right now, there are more than 500,000 research studies registered around the world.1
Many conditions affect diverse groups of people, so it is important to have diverse groups of people participating in research. Different people may respond differently to treatments.

Diversity in Clinical Research

It’s important that clinical research studies include people of different race and ethnicity, age, and sex so that we can better understand if various populations may benefit from scientific advances.
