New drug tested to let Sun-Sensitive patients enjoy daylight

NCT ID NCT03520036

Summary

This study tested an investigational drug called MT-7117 to see if it could help adults with EPP spend more time in sunlight without developing painful skin symptoms. Over 100 participants were randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo for 16 weeks, and researchers measured how long they could be in the sun before symptoms started. The goal was to see if the drug was safe and effective at improving daily life for people with this light-sensitive condition.
