First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called ustekinumab in 16 adults with Behçet disease, a condition that causes painful mouth sores and eye swelling. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce the number of mouth ulcers and calm eye inflammation over 24 weeks. Ustekinumab works by blocking certain immune signals, but it is not a cure—patients may need ongoing treatment to manage symptoms.
