Clinical Trials 

Clinical trials are research studies designed to evaluate the effects of different drugs or therapies on individuals with specific skin conditions. These trials are strictly regulated to ensure patient safety and minimize adverse effects.

 

Illinois Skin Center conducts a range of clinical trials for various skin conditions, including acne, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis

​

Participants in clinical trials have the opportunity to receive newly developed medical treatments for their condition before they become publicly available. They are closely monitored and receive specialized care from our providers and research team, who assess, evaluate, and track various conditions throughout the study.

Psoriasis Study #2

This clinical study is testing an investigational drug called ESK-001 for the possible treatment of plaque psoriasis. “Investigational” means the study drug is approved for use in clinical research but not yet approved to be prescribed to treat the condition. ESK-001 works by blocking certain proteins in your immune system, which may help to reduce plaque psoriasis symptoms.

To join the study, you must meet the following basic criteria:

  • At least 18 years of age

  • Diagnosed with plaque psoriasis at least 6 months ago

  • Have plaques covering at least 10% of your body

Other criteria will also be reviewed to determine if you are eligible to participate.
