Summary
This study tests whether the drug Bimzelx (bimekizumab) can improve skin symptoms in adults with pityriasis rubra pilaris, a rare condition causing red, scaly patches. Researchers will enroll 12 participants and measure how many achieve at least 75% improvement in skin severity after 24 weeks. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it.
