Targeting Oxidative Stress in Chronic Beryllium Disease
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Mesalamine and Placebo for Chronic Beryllium Disease. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand if a drug called mesalamine helps to control inflammation associated with chronic beryllium disease (CBD). We hypothesize that in CBD subjects treated with prednisone, mesalamine treatment will enhance the immunosuppressive effects of prednisone, and thus reduce the immune response to beryllium.
