The UNM Department of Dermatology is actively involved in clinical trials, which allow our patients to have access to investigational medications for a number of skin disorders. We also conduct significant research specific to dermatology and health care disparities, and all of our faculty are measured by their excellence in scholarly activities.
Here are some areas of study for our Department:

Allegro global Phase 2b/3 study for evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an investigational study drug (called PF-06651600) in adults and adolescents (12 years and older) who have 50% or greater scalp hair loss. The study is placebo-controlled, meaning that some patients entering the study will not receive active study drug but will receive tablets with no active ingredients (a placebo). This is a dose-ranging study, investigating 5 different dosing regimens. It will be double-blinded, meaning that the sponsor, the study doctors, the staff, and the patients will not know whether a patient is on active study drug (or the dose) or placebo.

B7981031 Study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the medicine is changed and eliminated from your body after you take it) and pharmacodynamics (effects of the medicine in the body) of the study medicine (called Ritlecitinib) in children of 6 to <12 years of age with Alopecia Areata, a condition of scalp hair loss. 12 children with alopecia areata will be participating in this study. All participants will receive study medicine with a dose of 20 milligram (mg) orally once daily for 7 days. 5 blood samples will be collected on day 7 for pharmacokinetic evaluation and 2 blood samples each at screening and on Day 7 will be collected for pharmacodynamic evaluation. Participants will take part in the study for about 10 weeks.
