NCT ID NCT02113904
First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 06, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tested the drug Humira (adalimumab) in 11 people with Netherton Syndrome, a rare genetic skin condition that causes severe inflammation, itching, and pain. The goal was to see if Humira could reduce skin symptoms by at least 20% after 3 months of treatment, with a 3-month follow-up. While not a cure, the treatment aims to control the disease and improve quality of life, though it carries risks like infection.
