New hope for itchy eyelids? drug trial targets stubborn rash
NCT ID NCT06684522
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a pill called upadacitinib for people with eyelid dermatitis that hasn't gotten better with standard creams. Ten adults aged 18-70 will take the drug for 12 weeks to see if it reduces redness and irritation. The goal is to find a new option for those who haven't had success with other treatments.
