New pill hopes to clear stubborn hand and foot blisters
NCT ID NCT07270003
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a daily pill called ivarmacitinib for palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), a chronic skin condition causing painful blisters on hands and feet. Sixty adults who haven't improved with other treatments will take the pill for 12 weeks. Researchers will check if symptoms like blisters and redness get at least 50% better, and track any side effects.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new oral treatment option for people with palmoplantar pustulosis who haven't responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
