Dermatology is one of the most active areas of industry research. New biologic and oral treatments for chronic skin disease need patients, and those patients already visit community dermatology practices.
NextSiteUp™ builds and runs the research program inside your practice. Your dermatologists lead the studies. Our team handles the rest.
Conditions with active industry research
Psoriasis
Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
Hidradenitis suppurativa
Vitiligo
Alopecia areata
Chronic spontaneous urticaria
What a study looks like in your office
Study visits
Most dermatology studies follow patients for several months, with scheduled visits for skin assessments, labs, and study drug. Our coordinator schedules each visit and manages the paperwork.
Space and equipment
An exam room a few days a week, good lighting for skin assessments, and space for study supplies. Some studies need standardized photography, which we help set up.
Your physician's role
Dermatology studies use scored skin assessments. The investigator or a trained sub-investigator performs them, so plan for some physician time at each visit. We handle everything around it.
What your practice needs
An independent dermatology practice
A physician interested in serving as principal investigator
Steady volume of patients with the conditions above
An EHR that can run simple patient counts
No research experience is needed.
How it works
1. Free practice assessment. We review your patient volume, using simple counts from your own reports, and show you which studies fit.
2. Site setup and study matching. We prepare your site, place a trained coordinator, and present your practice to sponsors.
3. Run and enroll. Your coordinator pre-screens patients and manages visits. Your physician oversees the research.
