Egyptian study maps Behçet's disease patterns in 30 patients
NCT ID NCT07157189
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study will observe 30 people with Behçet's disease at a hospital in Upper Egypt to learn more about their symptoms, lab results, and treatments. Researchers will track how often key signs like mouth ulcers, genital sores, and eye inflammation occur. The goal is to better understand the disease in this region, not to test a new drug or therapy.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide a clearer picture of how Behçet's disease presents and is managed in Upper Egypt, potentially guiding better local care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 30 participants, so findings may not apply to all patients. It does not test any new treatment.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Eligible participants are adults and adolescents diagnosed using international criteria (ISG and rICBD), with recurrent oral ulceration and at least two additional manifestations (genital ulcers, eye lesions, skin lesions, positive pathergy test). Patients with unconfirmed BD are excluded. Given BD's variable age and gender distribution, the population will reflect regional epidemiological trends, including a probable male predominance consistent with Arab and Mediterranean cohorts. Comprehensive sociodemographic data, disease duration, age at onset, family/personal history, and clinical presentation are documented. All patients are monitored through a structured two-year inclusion, maximizing sample heterogeneity and capturing real-world data from both inpatient and outpatient clinical pathways .
