NEW YORK, Jan. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PRISM MarketView has released an exclusive interview with Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNRX) CEO Dr. Michael Myers, who shares the company’s notable interim data in its ongoing Netherton Syndrome clinical trials. Quoin, a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on rare and orphan diseases, is addressing unmet medical needs for those with Netherton Syndrome (NS), a rare and sometimes fatal skin disease for which there is currently no approved treatment and no cure.
The company recently announced highly positive interim clinical data —with no safety concerns—from one of its ongoing Netherton Syndrome clinical studies examining the potential of QRX003, a topical lotion formulated with a proprietary delivery technology that targets the underlying cause of the disease. Quoin’s QRX003 program involves the most advanced NS trials being conducted under an open Investigational New Drug (IND) application.
During a discussion with PRISM MarketView, Dr. Myers noted the “life-changing potential this drug has for the Netherton community” and that “coupled with the other clinical data we have generated to date, we are very optimistic that we have a product that effectively treats this disease.”
The first subject dosed twice daily demonstrated marked improvements across all measured clinical endpoints after 12 weeks of treatment, including dramatic reduction in the skin’s visible redness, scaling and inflammation. The company has published images of the subject’s remarkable progress [here], further underscoring the therapy’s potential. Notably, the Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WINRS) declined from 7 to 2, reflecting significant relief from one of Netherton Syndrome’s most debilitating symptoms.
In addition, Dr. Myers discussed recent FDA clearance for Quoin’s whole-body clinical study, to be led by Dr. Amy Paller at Northwestern University, which will evaluate the safety and efficacy of QRX003 when applied twice-daily to over 80% of the body surface area, compared to the approximately 20% being treated in ongoing studies. The most extensive application of QRX003 to date, this study is designed to simulate real-world use and generate critical safety and efficacy data to supplement the company’s submission for regulatory approval.
Other highlights for Quoin include a new pediatric study for QRX003 as well as expansion of the specialty pharma’s international footprint to ensure access to diverse patient populations and to generate robust, global data.
Dr. Myers concluded, “Looking ahead, Quoin is committed to ensuring that every patient, no matter where they are in the world, will have access to our product once approved. This commitment drives our efforts to advance QRX003 as the first FDA-approved treatment for Netherton Syndrome, meeting the needs of this underserved community.”
