If moderate to severe eczema is still not responding to topical creams, you may qualify for a 2026 atopic dermatitis clinical trial in Miami, Hollywood, Weston, or Boynton Beach. Study-related visits and evaluations are provided at no cost to you. Find out if you qualify today.
This atopic dermatitis study for adults who failed topical treatment enrolls people 18 and older with a confirmed eczema diagnosis of at least one year, rated moderate or severe by a doctor. Candidates should have significant itching and eczema covering multiple body areas despite topical treatment. If you have previously used a biologic such as dupilumab, or have HIV, active hepatitis, or a serious liver condition like cirrhosis, eligibility may be affected. Compensation available. See if you qualify for an eczema clinical trial near you across South Florida.
