    Hi ypoggio - I have actually participated in the Dupilumab trial (now known as Dupixent) back in 2015. It was the best decision I've ever made. Have you participated in any trials?

        Gameface, the cost of participating in a clinical trial will vary. We do have some information about the types of expenses associated with clinical trials here (https://atopicdermatitis.net/clinical/patient-and-research-costs/). I do hope others with clinical trial experience will chime in! -Sarah (AtopicDermatitis.net Team Member)

        Hi Gameface! Many clinical trials are actually free. In fact, some even pay you to participate!

        The National Eczema Association's website always lists clinical trials. You can check current trials here: https://nationaleczema.org/research/clinical-trials/ . I also recommend asking your doctor for any trials he or she may know of.

        Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps you find what you're looking for!

        Best,
        Ashley
