About this research study:
Researchers are studying different medications, including a novel injectable investigational treatment, to understand the effectiveness and safety in adults suffering from eczema.
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, affects over 31 million people which is approximately 10% of the population. The condition often times has a severe impact on people's lives. From the embarrassing red blotches to the painful sores, symptoms have a severe impact on people's lives
This research study being conducted by physicians at UPMC is testing how existing FDA-approved and new investigational medications may impact the effectiveness of treating adults with moderate-to-severe eczema. Taking part could help improve your eczema and inform how we care for people with eczema in the future.
