Allison Gregory

Overview: My research focuses on improving treatment options for children with chronic skin conditions through clinical trials. Many children with diseases like eczema or alopecia areata face limited treatment choices, especially for moderate to severe cases. By leading and supporting clinical research, I aim to expand access to safe and effective therapies and generate evidence to guide care.

Research: JAK Inhibitors for Pediatric Alopecia Areata
This upcoming multi-site clinical trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of JAK inhibitors in children with alopecia areata. The goal is to expand treatment options for this autoimmune condition, which can have significant psychosocial impacts in pediatric patients.
Clinical Trials in Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis
These industry-sponsored clinical trials assess new biologic and small-molecule therapies for moderate to severe atopic dermatitis in children. As sub-investigator, I support recruitment, patient care, and data collection efforts to help evaluate these promising treatments.
