Notes

3-site Ohio dermatology network (Mayfield Heights, Canton, Lorain); EMR-powered with strong coordination. Founder Dr. Garcia-Zuazaga (MBA, FAAD, FACMS). Solid tech infrastructure for recruitment. Narrow therapeutic focus (dermatology only) and limited geographic footprint. Good recruitment process but small scale and single TA limit Intera fit. Better for niche dermatology programs than platform distribution. [Validated: 2 active recruiting cardiometabolic trials on ClinicalTrials.gov.]
