Apremilast for Behçet’s Syndrome — A Phase 2, Placebo-Controlled Study

Abstract

Apremilast was effective in treating oral ulcers, which are the cardinal manifestation of Behçet's syndrome. This preliminary study was neither large enough nor long enough to assess long-term efficacy, the effect on other manifestations of Behçet's syndrome, or the risk of uncommon serious adverse events.
