Drug tested for deadly Skin-Shedding disease

NCT ID NCT06474078

Summary

This small, completed pilot study tested whether the drug tofacitinib could help patients with Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). These are rare, life-threatening conditions where the skin and mucous membranes blister and peel off. All 20 participants received the drug, and researchers measured how long it took for their skin to heal completely, how long they stayed in the hospital, and whether there were any safety issues.
