Acne Research Study

Are you a candidate for Accutane, but would like to try something else first?  Do you have larger acne bumps that are not being helped by your current acne treatment?

If you have moderate to severe acne, you may be eligible to participate in a research study evaluating the safety and efficacy of an oral acne medication.  You must be at least 18 years old to participate.

The study will last 16 weeks and require up to 10 study visits.  You will not be allowed to use other acne medications while participating in this study.  All study related visits, study medication and evaluations will be provided to eligible participants at no cost.  Subjects will receive compensation for time and travel.
