Reasons to Participate in Clinical Trials
If you have a skin condition such as actinic keratosis, rosacea, or dermatitis that isn’t responding well to treatment, then your dermatologist may recommend that you participate in a clinical trial. A clinical trial has several phases that test the efficacy and safety of a potential new medicine.
