First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tested the drug ustekinumab in 8 people with a rare and severe form of intestinal Behçet's syndrome that also involves a blood disorder called myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal was to see if the drug could control gut symptoms and improve disease activity over 24 weeks. Since there are no standard treatments for this combination, the study aimed to find a safe and effective option, but it does not offer a cure.
