New hope for rare blistering disease: rituximab vs standard care

NCT ID NCT03295383

First seen Mar 06, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study tests whether rituximab works better than the current standard drug cyclophosphamide for people with severe mucous membrane pemphigoid, a rare autoimmune disease that causes painful blisters and scarring on mucous membranes. About 130 adults will receive either drug plus a placebo, and researchers will track how many achieve remission. The goal is to find a safer, more effective treatment to prevent serious complications like blindness or trouble breathing.
