New drug targets deadly immune storm in rare inflammatory diseases
NCT ID NCT05001737
First seen Feb 28, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called emapalumab in 33 children and adults with a life-threatening immune overreaction (macrophage activation syndrome) linked to Still's disease or lupus. The goal was to see if the drug could safely calm the immune system and improve blood markers and symptoms when standard steroids weren't enough. The treatment aims to control the disease, not cure it, and patients may need ongoing care.
