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
Time frame: Screening up to Week 45 (end of study)
Pharmacokinetic Parameter Trough Concentration (Ctrough)
Time frame: Main Phase: Baseline and predose of Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11; Extension Phase: Predose of Weeks 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, and 45
Mean Ichthyosis Area Severity Index (IASI) Scores
The IASI measures the severity of the erythema (IASI-Erythema) and scaling (IASI-Scaling) based on a 4-point Likert scale where 0 (none) and 4 (very severe). The total IASI is determined by adding IASI-Erythema and IASI-Scaling scores. Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.
Time frame: Screening; Observational: Predose of Weeks 1, 5, and 9; Main Phase: Baseline, predose of Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11; Extension Phase, predose of Weeks 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, and 37
Mean Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Scores
The IGA measures, using a 5-point scale (0, clear; 1, almost clear; 2, mild; 3, moderate; 4, severe) erythema, scaling, inflammatory papules or plaques, oozing, and lichenification. Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.
Time frame: Screening; Observational: Predose of Weeks 1, 5, and 9; Main Phase: Baseline, predose of Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11; Extension Phase, predose of Weeks 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, and 37
Mean 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.
Time frame: Screening; Observational: Predose of Weeks 1, 5, and 9; Main Phase: Baseline, predose of Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11; Extension Phase, predose of Weeks 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, and 37
