New antibody shows promise for painful blistering skin disease

NCT ID NCT04563923

Summary

This study tested whether adding avdoralimab, an experimental antibody drug, to standard steroid creams could better control bullous pemphigoid, a painful blistering skin condition that mainly affects older adults. Fifteen hospitalized patients with confirmed bullous pemphigoid participated in this French trial. Researchers compared the combination treatment to steroid creams alone to see which helped patients achieve complete skin healing faster and for longer periods.
