Summary

This study tests the drug decitabine in 6 boys with XMEN disease, a rare genetic condition that weakens the immune system and damages the liver. The goal is to see if decitabine can improve liver function and immune cell activity. It is a very early, small trial focused on safety and signs of benefit.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a treatment for XMEN disease, a rare immune disorder that makes patients prone to severe infections and liver problems.
