Summary

This early-phase trial is testing an experimental drug called JTE-162 in 5 adults with CAPS, a rare condition that causes fever, rash, and joint pain. Participants take one tablet daily for 2 weeks. Researchers will check if the drug safely reduces inflammation and improves symptoms. Because this is a very small, short study, it is mainly about safety and finding the right dose.
