TARGET-DERM

The largest longitudinal RWE study observing patients with immune-mediated inflammatory skin conditions

Advancing the Understanding of Dermatologic Conditions in the Real World

TARGET-DERM is a longitudinal, observational study which characterizes the natural history of patients with immune-mediated inflammatory skin conditions in the real world through an innovative collaboration of academic and community sites in the U.S. Target RWE has enrolled more than 7,000+ patients covering many disease areas including atopic dermatitis, alopecia areata, hidradenitis suppurativa, vitiligo, and chronic spontaneous urticaria.

  • 7,000+ Patients

  • 35+ Sites

  • 30+ Publications

  • 12+ Thought Leaders

  • Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) Data

Complete Patient Journeys to Create a Fit-For-Purpose Dataset

Our extensive dermatology real-world data enables researchers to deepen their understanding of complex dermatologic conditions. Through detailed analysis of patient-level information, this robust study provides crucial insights into skin disease patterns, therapeutic effectiveness, and long-term clinical outcomes.

Disease Activity & Severity Scores

TARGET-DERM offers a robust platform for observational research in immune-mediated inflammatory skin conditions. Data curated from electronic medical records includes both structured and unstructured data, and is enriched by a collection of disease activity and severity measures, to provide a granular view of the patient journey.

By utilizing these standardized disease activity scores, researchers can assess the efficacy of new therapies, identify patient subgroups for targeted treatments, inform the design of clinical trials, and track long-term disease progression and potential complications.

Atopic Dermatitis

  • vIGA-AD x BSA
  • Eczema Area and Severity Index
  • Serum, Whole Blood, Saliva, & Skin Tape Strips

Alopecia Areata

  • SALT
  • CGI-AA
  • ClinRO for Eyebrow/Eyelash Hair loss

Hidradenitis Supparativa

  • Hurley Staging System
  • HS Physician Global Assessment

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)

In AD, PROMs capture the burden of itch, pain, sleep disturbance, and overall quality of life (QoL). Measures like the Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), SCORing Atopic Dermatitis (SCORAD), and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) help quantify the subjective impact of AD, informing treatment strategies and highlighting areas where patient needs are unmet.

Example of Measures

DLQI, NRS-Pain, NRS-Sleep, PO-SCORAD, POEM, PROMIS (Anxiety, Itch, & Mood), & UKWPC

In AA, PROMs assess the psychological and emotional impact of hair loss, including anxiety, depression, and perceptions of hair regrowth or loss. The Alopecia Areata Patient-Reported Outcomes (AAPRO) and other relevant scales provide insights into how AA affects patients' well-being and daily life.

Example of Measures

AAPPO, AARU, PGIS-AA, PROMIS (Anxiety & Depression), & PSAT

In HS, PROMs like the DLQI and Hidradenitis Suppurativa International Quality of Life (HISQOL) tools capture the impact of pain, odor, drainage, and scarring on patients' QoL. These measures highlight the often-hidden burden of HS, emphasizing the need for holistic care that addresses both physical and psychosocial needs.

Example of Measures

DLQI, HiSQOL, HSIA, HSSI, Pt. Questionnaire, & PGA-Skin Pain
