SGS proderm GmbH

At SGS proderm GmbH in Schenefeld, clinical research in skin and connective tissue diseases focuses on common conditions such as atopic dermatitis and related eczema. The studies are designed to evaluate new moisturisers and skin-care approaches that may help improve the skin barrier, reduce irritation, and prevent symptom relapse.

• Testing whether new moisturisers can help prevent eczema flare-ups in children with atopic dermatitis
• Assessing skin-barrier strengthening in adults with a history of atopic dermatitis
• Studying irritation and comfort outcomes for products intended for sensitive skin

This area combines practical dermatology research with a strong focus on everyday skin health and better supportive care.

Research in hormonal diseases includes studies on female androgenetic alopecia, a form of hair loss linked to hormonal influences. The trials are aimed at evaluating treatment effectiveness and comparing options that may improve hair growth and hair density in women.

• Evaluating oral and topical treatments for female androgenetic alopecia
• Measuring changes in hair counts to understand treatment benefit over time
• Comparing active therapy with control approaches to assess effectiveness

The work reflects a broader interest in visible, quality-of-life-impacting conditions where treatment response matters to patients.

The site also supports studies in respiratory tract diseases and virus diseases, with a focus on Respiratory Syncytial Virus infections. These trials are centered on vaccine research, especially understanding immune response and safety in older adults.

• Evaluating the immune response after revaccination against Respiratory Syncytial Virus
• Monitoring safety and tolerability in adults aged 60 years and above
• Supporting vaccine research aimed at better protection from viral respiratory illness

This therapeutic area highlights preventive medicine and the development of stronger defenses against seasonal respiratory infections.

Another part of the research portfolio involves analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and equipment, with studies in healthy volunteers and product-use settings. These trials help assess how topical treatments behave on the skin and whether they are suitable for everyday use.

• Investigating how topical pain-relief products interact with the skin
• Studying irritation potential and product tolerability in healthy participants
• Supporting the development and evaluation of skin-applied therapeutic products

This work provides useful evidence for improving product performance, safety, and practical use in routine care.

Some trials at the Clinical Research Unit cover broader or mixed research questions that do not fit neatly into a single disease category. These include studies in healthy volunteers and investigations of cosmetic or dermatologic products such as treatments for glabellar lines.

• Assessing safety and tolerability in aesthetic and dermatologic research
• Including healthy participants in studies of skin-related products
• Exploring practical use and user experience across different product types

This range shows a flexible research program that spans both medical and appearance-related applications.
