Could an asthma drug tame this brutal blistering disease?
NCT ID NCT04206553
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether dupilumab, a drug already used for asthma and eczema, can help people with bullous pemphigoid, a painful blistering skin condition. 106 adults received either dupilumab or a placebo, plus standard steroid treatment. The main goal was to see if more people could achieve long-term remission without needing steroids.
