Summary
This study looked at whether tofacitinib, a drug that calms the immune system, is safe and helpful for young adults aged 18 to 45 with moderate to severe lupus skin disease. Thirteen participants took the drug for up to 76 weeks. The main goal was to measure how the body processes the drug and to see if skin symptoms improved. While not a cure, the study aimed to better control the disease and reduce skin flares.
