Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
In November 2023, the US FDA issued Orphan Drug Designation for dovramilast as a treatment for leprosy type 2 reactions (also known as erythema nodosum leprosum), a severe complication of leprosy that is immune-mediated. Dovramilast has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT01300208) to evaluate safety and efficacy in subjects with leprosy type 2 reactions, with a second trial now recruiting (NCT03807362). It has also completed a Phase 2 study, as an adjunctive host-directed TB therapy (NCT02968927) and found to be safe, reasonably well tolerated, and with potential to enhance recovery [3]. |
