First-Ever trial for deadly degos disease targets brain lesions

NCT ID NCT06923072

Summary

This study is testing if the drug baricitinib can slow or stop the progression of brain and spine lesions in people with Kohlmeier-Degos disease, a rare and often fatal condition with no existing treatment. The trial will enroll 12 adults who already have neurological involvement from the disease. Participants will take the oral drug daily for 24 weeks while researchers monitor their brain scans and symptoms to see if the disease progression slows.
