Dermatology Focused Clinical & Observational Research
A specialized, scientific approach to dermatological research — from Phase II-IV clinical trials to robust real-world evidence programs.
A Specialized, Scientific Approach to Dermatological Research
Chronic and complex dermatological conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, and alopecia areata, have a profound impact on patients' quality of life and often require long-term, evolving treatment strategies, including the use of advanced biologic and systemic agents.
At Omega CRO, we provide end-to-end support across the development spectrum — from rigorous Phase II-IV clinical trials to robust observational studies. Our dermatology specialists possess deep therapeutic knowledge and are skilled in the unique methodologies, clinical endpoints, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and evolving regulatory requirements necessary to generate the compelling evidence needed to bring new treatments to market and demonstrate their value in real-world practice.

Key Dermatology Expertise
Our commitment to advancing skin health is demonstrated through our involvement in key clinical trials and epidemiological studies.
Clinical Trial Execution (Phase II-IV)
Managed numerous interventional studies across psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and alopecia areata. Experience encompasses trial design, site selection and training, patient recruitment strategies for competitive indications, and meticulous endpoint adjudication.
Alopecia Areata & Androgenetic Alopecia
Conducted clinical trials and observational studies focusing on new therapeutic agents and devices. Expertise includes the use of the SALT score and standardized clinical photography to objectively measure treatment efficacy.
Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema) Studies
Managed clinical trials for both topical and systemic therapies, including biologics and JAK inhibitors. Proficient in applying EASI, IGA, and pruritus NRS scales in a standardized manner across multiple sites.
Expertise in Sensitive PROs
Our experience in managing sensitive patient-reported data directly translates to dermatology, where we expertly capture the psychosocial impact and quality of life (e.g., DLQI) in clinical and observational settings.
