Clinical Trials
Doctors Poulos and Fisher, and the entire team of dermatologists at Kingsway Dermatology strongly believe that being at the forefront of medical research is a vital part of their practice.
In keeping with our mission to provide outstanding patient care, Kingsway Clinical Research was established in 2014, as a division of Kingsway Dermatology, that specializes in clinical trials in collaboration with Probity Medical Research.
Our goal is to help bring safe and effective cutting edge treatments to our patients. This work allows our patients access to medications, sometimes years ahead of the commercial launch. It also allows our patients access to medications that may not be covered under insurance programs.

ATOPIC DERMATITIS
Phase 3 Research Trial for Atopic Dermatitis – Eczema 2 (40 Weeks)
Adults aged 18 and over with a diagnosis of atopic dermatitis (AD) that has been present for at least 6 months, are needed for a research trial. To qualify for the study, individuals must have moderate to severe eczema with involvement of 10% or more body surface area (BSA), and a history of inadequate response to topical corticosteroids (TCS) of medium to higher potency within 6 months, or for whom topical treatments are otherwise medically inadvisable. Participants will receive an investigational medication (active study drug) or placebo via injection. Study medication and study-related assessments will be provided at no cost. Reimbursement for study-related expenses will be provided. Study participation will last about 40 weeks and involve about 11 visits to the study centre.
If you would like to participate or would simply like to learn more, please contact our clinical trials coordinator.
Subcutaneous Abdominal Fat Research Study
Recruiting adults aged 18 to 64 for a clinical trial investigating reducing subcutaneous abdominal fat. Eligible participants must have a stable body weight of 50 kg or greater (less than 3 kg weight change in the past 3 months), with a body mass between 18.5 and 27 kg/m2. Participants must maintain a stable lifestyle for at least 3 months (e.g., exercise, eating patterns, and smoking habits) and not have poorly controlled diabetes within the past 6 months (requiring a change in glucose control medications other than day-to-day insulin requirement variations). A participant should not have a fear of injections or needles (or faints at the sight of blood or needles), not have folding fat or skin while standing, and not have tattoos on the front and/or lateral side of the abdomen. Participants will receive either an investigational injection treatment (study drug) or a placebo. Study treatment and study-related assessments will be provided at no cost. Reimbursement for study-related expenses may be provided. Study participation will last about 25 weeks and involve about 9 visits to the study center. If you would like to participate or want to learn more, please contact our clinical trials coordinator.
