This open-label, non-placebo controlled trial has been designed to evaluate the QRX003 topical lotion in Netherton patients who are now receiving off-label treatment, along with systemic therapy for symptomatic relief.

It will assess ten Netherton Syndrome patients for 12 weeks.

The trial will run simultaneously with its ongoing clinical trial and will be conducted at the same sites, as well as by the same clinical investigators.

Quoin CEO Dr Michael Myers said: “With over 70 potential candidates already having gone through our initial screening process, we have been delighted with the level of interest in our clinical programs that has been shown by the Netherton community.

“The dosing of our first patient and the clearance of our second study are big steps forward for Quoin and, hopefully, for the community in general.

“With all six clinical sites on track to be fully opened this month, we are hopeful that the rate of recruitment into both studies will accelerate rapidly going forward.”
