Summary

This early-stage trial tests an oral drug called DF-003 in 12 people with ROSAH syndrome, a rare genetic condition causing eye inflammation, enlarged spleen, and headaches. The main goal is to check safety and how the body processes the drug, while also watching for improvements in eye swelling. It is a small, first-in-human study, so results are preliminary.
