New drug tested to tame rare blood disorder in kids

NCT ID NCT04965636

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called mepolizumab, given as a shot under the skin, could help control a rare blood disorder called Hypereosinophilic Syndrome (HES) in children and teenagers aged 6 to 17. The main goal was to see if it could reduce the number of disease flare-ups over a year and allow participants to safely lower their steroid doses. The trial involved 16 young people who were already on standard care for HES.
