Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
The complete remission rate of oral ulcers in subjects after 12 weeks of treatment
A complete remission at week 12 was defined as participants who were oral ulcer-free at week 12.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Percentage of participants who had an partial response of oral ulcer at Week 12
A partial response at week 12 was defined as participants with a 50% or more reduction in the number of oral ulcers at week 12
Percentage of participants who had no response of oral ulcer at Week 12
No response at week 12 was defined as all other participants at week 12
Percentage of participants who had a complete response of genital ulcer at Week 12
A complete remission at week 12 was defined as participants who were genital ulcer-free at week 12.
Percentage of participants who had an partial response of genital ulcer at Week 12
A partial response at week 12 was defined as participants with a 50% or more reduction in the number of genital ulcers at week 12
Percentage of participants who had no response of genital ulcer at Week 12
No response at week 12 was defined as all other participants at week 12
Change from baseline on oral ulcer pain as measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) at week 12
Pain of oral ulcers was measured using a 100 mm VAS scale. The participant was asked to draw a single line perpendicular to the VAS line at the point that represented the severity of their pain during the previous week, with 0 mm (the left-hand end of the scale) representing no pain and 100 mm (the right-hand end of the scale) representing the worst pain imaginable. The distance of the perpendicular line from the left-hand end of the scale was recorded.
A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Change from baseline on genital ulcer pain as measured by visual analogue scale (VAS) at week 12
Pain of genital ulcers was measured using a 100 mm VAS scale. The participant was asked to draw a single line perpendicular to the VAS line at the point that represented the severity of their pain during the previous week, with 0 mm (the left-hand end of the scale) representing no pain and 100 mm (the right-hand end of the scale) representing the worst pain imaginable. The distance of the perpendicular line from the left-hand end of the scale was recorded.
A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Change from baseline in disease activity as measured by Behçet's Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF)
The Behçet's Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF) consists of 3 component scores: the Behçet's Disease Current Activity Index (BDCAI) score, the Patient's Perception of Disease Activity, and the Clinician's Overall Perception of Disease Activity.
The BDCAI consists of 12 questions regarding disease manifestations over the previous 4 weeks, The score is the sum score of 12 items and ranges from 0 to 12. A higher score indicates a higher level of disease activity, and a negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
The Patient's Perception of Disease Activity was assessed on a scale from 1 to 7, and the Clinician's Overall Perception of Disease Activity was assessed on a scale from 1 to 7. A higher score indicates a higher level of disease activity and a negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Change from baseline in disease activity as measured by Behçet's Syndrome Activity Score (BSAS) at Week 12
The Behçet's Syndrome Activity Score (BSAS) contains 10 questions that assess the number of new oral and genital ulcers and skin lesions, GI, CNS, vascular, and ocular involvement, and the participant's current level of discomfort. The Behçet's Syndrome Activity Score ranges from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating a higher level of disease activity. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Change from baseline in Behçet's Disease Quality of Life (BD Qol) Scores at week 12
The Behçet's Disease Quality of Life questionnaire was developed to measure the influence of BD on a particpant's life. It consists of 30 self-completed itemized questions that measure disease- related restrictions on the participant's activities and their emotional response to these restrictions. The total score is the sum of all 30 items (each yes scores 1 and each no scores 0), with 0 representing no influence of Behçet's disease on a participant's quality of life and 30 representing the most severe influence. A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.
Change From baseline in Short Form-36 Health Status Questionnaire(SF-36)
Short Form-36 Health Status Questionnaire(SF-36) is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health. The SF-36 is a measure of health status. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight. The lower the score the more disability. The higher the score the less disability i.e., a score of zero is equivalent to maximum disability and a score of 100 is equivalent to no disability.
Corticosteroid-tapering effects.
The dosage of glucocorticoids will be tapered tailored to the disease activity of each participant, and the change of dosage from baseline will be recorded.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in the treatment of oral ulcers in adult patients with refractory mucosal Behcet's syndrome.
Detailed Description
Behçet's Syndrome (BS) is a systemic vasculitis involving blood vessels of all sizes. It is characterised by recurrent oral and genital ulcers, skin lesions, musculoskeletal, ophthalmic, large vessel and intestinal involvements. Mucosal BS is the most common phenotype of BS, commonly treated with thalidomide and colchicine, yet some patients respond poorly or had limited use due to side effects.
Lenalidomide, a second-generation derivative of thalidomide, has a role as an angiogenesis inhibitor, an antineoplastic agent and an immunomodulator.
Its neurotoxicity and reproductive toxicity are significantly reduced, and the ability of TNF-alpha inhibition is significantly increased.
Reports on lenalidomide for refractory mucosal BS have been mostly case reports and preliminary studies, clinical trials are lacking.
This is a single-centre, prospective, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lenalidomide in the treatment of refractory mucosal BS; with the rate of complete remission of oral ulcers in subjects at 12 weeks as the primary endpoint; partial remission of oral and genital ulcers, non-response rate and BS disease activity as secondary endpoints; and adverse events and newly-developed BS-related symptoms as safety endpoints.
This study aims to enroll adult patients with refractory mucosal BS with a stable dosage of low-dose glucocorticoids and/or other conventional immunomodulators. All subjects will be treated with lenalidomide 10mg/day with regular follow-up, those having adverse effects will be evaluated by investigators and adjusted to 5mg/day if necessary, with glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents adjusted as needed. Each subject will complete a 12-week treatment period, followed by 4 weeks of observation after cessation of lenalidomide.
