NCT ID NCT02226146

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early study tested a drug called bertilimumab in 11 adults aged 60 and older with newly diagnosed bullous pemphigoid, a condition that causes painful blisters. The main goals were to check safety and see if the drug helps control the disease. While results may show some benefit, this is not a cure, and patients typically need ongoing treatment to manage the condition.
