Patient recruitment for dermatology clinical trials

Dermatology

Getting beneath the skin of your most complex dermatology trials 

Dermatology focuses on the skin, the body’s largest organ, covering over 3,000 conditions that can cause significant psychological and social distress for patients, profoundly impacting daily life for millions of people. Many patients are unaware of their opportunities to participate in clinical trials. At Clariness, we strive to raise that awareness.

We have experience in 70+ dermatological indications, from alopecia areata and vitiligo, to more common conditions like acne and rosacea. In particular, we have significant experience in global atopic dermatitis trials – including among adolescents.

The global impact of dermatological conditions and the importance of clinical trials 

Dermatological conditions affect a significant portion of the global population, with estimates indicating that over 2 billion people – more than 25% of the world’s population – suffer from skin diseases at any given time.

Given the high prevalence and varied nature of skin diseases, clinical trials are crucial in advancing our understanding of these conditions and developing more effective treatments.

Why are dermatology studies difficult to recruit for?

Recruiting participants for dermatology trials presents several challenges, including low awareness about ongoing studies, stigma associated with certain skin conditions and complex or restrictive inclusion criteria.

Clariness addresses these challenges through online engagement, using targeted digital strategies to inform and educate participants.

How to engage with patients in an online world?

In today’s digital age, effective patient engagement strategies for dermatology studies require personalized communication, clear information on the trial and the integration of innovative tools like digital screenings.

Offering support through multiple channels, such as phone, enhances patient retention and participation. That’s why at Clariness, our dedicated Enrollment Success Team is here to assist both patients and sites every step of the way.

Here’s an example some of our digital advertisements on Facebook used in our patient recruitment campaigns.

Our unique screening methods

Accurately assessing body surface area (BSA) affected by atopic dermatitis has long been a challenge for patients.

To address this, Clariness developed a unique handprint screening technique, enabling patients to quickly and accurately self-identify symptom severity during phone and online screeners. This customizable approach, tailored to trial protocols, streamlines patient referrals to sites and boosts enrollment rates.

I usually never click on ads, but this ad about a clinical trial really appealed to me, so I applied right away. The research center was only 2 km away, so the personal approach was optimal.
