Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A prospective cohort study was conducted, following patients for 36 weeks from January 1, 2023, to April 30, 2024. Patients meeting the diagnostic criteria were nonrandomly grouped based on screening results. The primary endpoints were time to disease control and skin healing. Secondary endpoints included complete remission rates, relapse rates, corticosteroid doses, pemphigus disease area index (PDAI), dermatology life quality index (DLQI), visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores, CD19+ B cell percentages, desmoglein-specific antibodies, and adverse events.
