July 31, 2026 updated by: Target PharmaSolutions, Inc.
TARGET-DERM+ is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with dermatologic disease (DD) and providers who treat these patients. The study includes patients managed for DD of any etiology in usual clinical practice in the United States and addresses important clinical questions regarding the management of DD by collecting and analyzing data from patients at academic medical centers and community medical practices and/or data from providers who treat them.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

TARGET-DERM+ is an observational research study to conduct a comprehensive review of outcomes for patients with dermatologic disease (DD) and providers who treat these patients. The study includes patients managed for DD of any etiology in usual clinical practice in the United States and addresses important clinical questions regarding the management of DD by collecting and analyzing data from patients at academic medical centers and community medical practices and/or data from providers who treat them. TARGET-DERM+ is designed to develop a large, robust database of real-world data regarding the natural history, management, and health outcomes related to the care of DD of diverse etiologies and practice settings. The study is also designed to establish learning health networks focused on quality of care for patients with DD.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To assess safety and effectiveness of DD treatments and treatments for complications of any dermatologic disease
Time Frame: 15 years
The study will evaluate the characteristics of patients receiving various treatments, effectiveness of treatment, and medical events that develop while receiving treatment for DD
15 years
To characterize the natural history of disease in patients with dermatologic disease from various etiologies
Time Frame: 15 years
A detailed analysis of available demographics (age, race, sex, country of birth, insurance status), medications, co-morbidities, and medical history from sites across the US will inform the profile for this patient population.
15 years
To establish learning health networks focused on quality of care for patients
Time Frame: 15 years

Identify deficiencies and best practices in care of patients with DD.

• Evaluate outcomes from targeted learning content in the management of patients with DD.

15 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To evaluate provider management practices in the treatment of patients with DD
Time Frame: 15 years
Health care provider type, clinic setting, reason for initiating/not initiating/adjusting dosing of treatments, reason for discontinuing/switching treatments, and monitoring outcomes on and off treatment, will be captured as available in the provided EHR and/or through linked data.
15 years
To evaluate longitudinal and patient reported outcomes in DD
Time Frame: 15 years
Longitudinal clinical outcomes and disease progression will be assessed. Self-reported patient health measures collect information directly from patients to measure physical, mental, and social health.
