Center for Clinical Studies (Phase II-IV)
Since 2010, national and international clinical studies (Phase II-IV) have been carried out for new medications/medicinal products in the fields of Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine in our Center for Clinical Studies.
We contribute to the research of methods of detection and treatment of human disease including ensuring the effectiveness and harmlessness of new procedures.
Our patients in the Study Center are under the personal care of specially trained study personnel, including highly qualified doctors, nurses and medical assistants. Our long-standing, experienced study team works according to all required standards and the safety and rights of study participants are of utmost priority.
Study Team
Treatment spectrum
We have a fully equipped, modern Center of Studies with purpose-built premises.
Our doctors are for the most part specialists in Dermatology and have extensive experience in carrying out clinical studies.
Study assistants are medically skilled technicians, nurses or certified study nurses, who are also able to demonstrate many years of clinical study experience.
All the members of the validation group are trained in the ICH-GCP standards for medication clinical studies and GCP-ISO14155 standards for medical product clinical studies. Refresher courses take place regularly every two years.
We comply with the highest quality standards (e.g. SOP’s, intern evaluations, etc.). Audits and inspections are continually passed successfully without serious shortcomings.
There is high patient recruitment potential due to a large catchment area and advertising (Facebook, flyers, newspaper advertisements) and inquiries from interested test persons from our database.
