This Phase 3 study tested an ointment called TMB-001 in 153 people aged 6 and older with X-linked or ARCI ichthyosis, conditions that cause dry, scaly, and cracked skin. Participants applied the ointment or a placebo daily for 12 weeks, with some continuing for maintenance. The g…

This Phase 2 trial tested whether Humira (adalimumab), a drug used for arthritis, can help people with Netherton syndrome, a rare genetic skin condition that causes severe inflammation, itching, and pain. Eleven patients received six injections over three months, followed by thre…

This early study tested a cream called SXR1096 on 9 people with Netherton syndrome, a rare inflammatory skin disease. The cream aims to block certain enzymes that cause skin problems. Participants applied the cream and a placebo to different skin areas for one month to check safe…

This study tested a combination of two immune-targeting drugs, secukinumab and dupilumab, in 15 children with severe Netherton syndrome, a rare genetic skin disorder. The goal was to see if the treatment could improve survival and control the disease. The children received weight…

This study tested a cream made from green tea extract (Veregen) on 6 people with lamellar ichthyosis, a rare genetic condition that causes severe dry, scaly skin. Participants applied the cream to one side of their body and a standard moisturizer to the other for 4 weeks. The goa…

This study tested two strengths of a topical isotretinoin ointment (TMB-001) in 34 people aged 9 and older with congenital ichthyosis, a rare genetic skin condition causing severe scaling. The main goal was to see if the ointment could reduce scaling by at least 50% compared to a…
