ClinicaliQ Trial Snapshot
  • Apremilast Pediatric Study in Children With Active Oral Ulcers Associated With Behçet’s Disease — Recruiting • Phase III • Cardiology / Cardiovascular • NCT04528082.
  • Intervention tested: Apremilast (a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor) versus placebo for treating oral ulcers in children with Behçet's disease, addressing a significant unmet need in pediatric BD management where oral manifestations are often the first clinical feature.
  • Patient eligibility: Children aged 2 to <18 years with active oral ulcers attributed to Behçet's disease; this represents a previously under-studied population in oral ulcer treatment trials, filling an important evidence gap in pediatric rheumatology.
