Dermatology Research Associates

Dermatology Research Associates is an independent, community-based dermatology clinical research site and medical dermatology practice in Los Angeles, California. The organization appears to operate in association with the Howard Sofen, MD practice and conducts industry-sponsored clinical trials focused on inflammatory and immune-mediated skin diseases. Its active research areas include psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, chronic spontaneous urticaria, cutaneous lupus, hidradenitis suppurativa, and related dermatologic conditions. The business is best characterized as a clinical trial site rather than a drug developer, with services centered on patient recruitment, study conduct, and dermatology care rather than owning a proprietary therapeutic pipeline.
