This is a first-in-human, Phase 1/1b, 4-part study that includes the evaluation of safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of BCX17725 when administered via single and multiple doses in healthy adult participants (Parts 1 and 2), and multiple doses in adult participants with Netherton syndrome (Part 3). In Part 4, the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of BCX17725 when administered via multiple IV and/or SC doses through 12 weeks will be evaluated in adult and adolescent participants with Netherton syndrome.
Parts 1 and 2 are randomized, placebo-controlled, single-ascending-dose (SAD) and multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) study parts, respectively, in healthy participants. Part 3 will evaluate multiple dose administrations in participants with Netherton syndrome in an open-label design. Part 4 will evaluate multiple administrations of BCX17725 in participants with Netherton syndrome in an open-label study design over 12 weeks, with an 8-week post-treatment follow-up period.

RECRUITINGIncidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Incidence of TEAEs as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) from screening through end-of-study (EOS) in each study part
Time frame: From screening through EOS (ie, through Day 78 in Parts 1 and 3, and Day 106 in Part 2)
Change from baseline in Ichthyosis Area and Severity Index (IASI) score at Week 12 (Part 4)
IASI measures the severity of erythema (IASI-E) and scaling (IASI-S); the maximum sub-scores for the IASI-E and IASI-S being 24, and the maximum total IASI score being 48. Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.
Time frame: From baseline to Week 12
Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax)
Cmax of BCX17725
Time frame: Up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)
Time to maximum observed serum concentration (Tmax)
Time to Cmax of BCX17725
Time frame: Up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)
Area under the serum concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to the time of last measurable concentration (AUC0-t)
AUC0-t of BCX17725
Time frame: Up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)
Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2)
Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of BCX17725
Time frame: Up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)
Number of participants who are anti-drug antibody (ADA)-positive (baseline and post-baseline) and number of participants who have treatment-emergent ADAs
Incidence of ADAs to BCX17725
Time frame: Day 1 pre-dose and up to Day 64 (Part 1), Day 92 (Part 2), and Day 78 (Part 3)
Change from baseline in Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score at Week 12 (Part 4)
IGA assesses the overall severity of a participant's NS skin disease based on a 5-point scale (0, clear; 1, almost clear; 2, mild; 3, moderate; and 4, severe). Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.
Time frame: From baseline to Week 12
Change from baseline in Worst Itch Numerical Rating Score (NRS) at Week 12 (Part 4)
Worst Itch Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) is a self-rated, single-item scale designed for assessing the worst itch in the past 7 days. The scale uses an 11-point NRS, scored from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst possible itch). Higher scores indicate worse clinical outcome.
Time frame: From baseline to Week 12
Incidence of TEAEs (Part 4)
Incidence of TEAEs as assessed by CTCAE
Time frame: From baseline through Week 20
