Netherton Syndrome (NS) is a severe rare disease characterized by generalized scaling, erythema, and epidermal barrier defects. This study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and efficacy of DS-2325a in patients with NS.
This study will explore the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and early clinical signal efficacy of DS-2325a in adult patients with NS. The primary objective of the study will be to explore the safety and tolerability of DS-2325a in patients with NS by administering DS-2325a for 12 consecutive weeks (Main Phase, which will be double-blind and during which some participants will receive placebo as a control) and to confirm by administering for an additional 24 weeks (Extension Phase, which will be open-label and during which all participants will receive DS-2325a). Secondary objectives of the study will include exploring the PK properties, efficacy, and immunogenicity of DS-2325a in patients with NS by administering DS-2325a for 12 consecutive weeks (Main Phase) and to confirm by administering for an additional 24 weeks (Extension Phase).

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. AEs will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) v 27.1.
Time frame: Screening (Day 0) up to Week 45 (end of study)
Pharmacokinetic Parameter Trough Concentration (Ctrough) - Main Phase
The Ctrough summaries include trough concentrations at the designed pre-dose time points that received a prior planned dose.
Time frame: Main Phase: Week 1, 1 hour postdose, 2 hour postdose and Predose at Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11
Pharmacokinetic Parameter Trough Concentration (Ctrough) - Extension Phase
The Ctrough summaries include trough concentrations at the designed pre-dose time points that received a prior planned dose.
Time frame: Extension Phase: Predose at Weeks 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, and 23
Median Change From Baseline in Ichthyosis Area Severity Index (IASI) Scores
The IASI assesses the intensity of the participant's erythema (IASI-Erythema) and scaling (IASI-Scaling) using a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (very severe). The total IASI (range 0 to 48) is determined by adding IASI-Erythema and IASI-Scaling scores. Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome. A change from baseline is being reported and the greater the change the worse clinical outcome.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 13
Median Change From Baseline in Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Scores
The IGA assesses a participant's erythema, scaling, inflammatory papules or plaques, oozing, and lichenification using a 5-point scale (0, clear; 1, almost clear; 2, mild; 3, moderate; 4, severe). Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome. The change from baseline is being reported where negative values indicate an improvement in clinical outcome.

Time frame: Baseline up to Week 13
Median Change From Baseline in Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) Scores
The Itch NRS is a self-rated single item scale designed for assessing worst pruritus in the past 7 days. The scale utilizes an 11-point NRS, scored from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst imaginable itch). Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome. The change from baseline is being reported with negative values indicating an improvement in clinical outcome.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 13
Median Change From Baseline in Skindex-29 Responses
The Skindex-29 is a 29-item questionnaire that assesses the burden of the participant's skin condition on 3 scales - symptoms, social functioning and emotional well-being. The score for each scale ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores reflect a worse quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 13
Median Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Questionnaire Score
The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is a 10-item validated questionnaire used to assess participants' perception of the impact of their skin disease on different aspects of their quality of life over the prior week. The DLQI score is the sum of the 10 item scores and ranges from 0 to 30. A high score is indicative of a poor quality of life.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 13
Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibodies Against DS-2325a (Interventional Part Main and Extension Phases)
The anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against DS-2325a was assessed as the immunogenicity endpoint.
Time frame: Baseline up to Week 45 (end of study)
