Announcement
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. announces FDA clearance to initiate a second Netherton Syndrome (NS) pivotal clinical study CL-QRX003-002 for QRX003.
AI Summary
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has received FDA clearance to begin a new pivotal clinical study, CL-QRX003-002, for its lead product, QRX003, aimed at treating Netherton Syndrome. This study will enroll about 12-15 subjects and will involve applying QRX003 to at least 80% of each subject's body surface area. Unlike other studies where QRX003 is used by itself, the participants in CL-QRX003-002 will continue their off-label systemic therapy during the trial. The study is designed to gather more robust safety and efficacy data to match the intended clinical use of QRX003. This initiative complements another ongoing pivotal study where QRX003 is administered as a monotherapy. Together, data from both studies may provide a strong basis for regulatory approval of QRX003 for both stand-alone and adjunct treatments for this rare and debilitating skin disease.

Announcement
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. announces positive initial clinical data from its ongoing Investigator Pediatric Peeling Skin Syndrome clinical study.
AI Summary
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has announced positive initial clinical data from its ongoing Investigator Pediatric Peeling Skin Syndrome study. After 12 weeks of treatment with QRX003, patients showed clear improvements in skin healing compared to their baseline condition. Key clinical endpoints, including the Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA), Modified Ichthyosis Area Severity Index (M-IASI), and Children’s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI), all demonstrated significant progress. For instance, the IGA score improved from severe to mild, indicating a meaningful reduction in disease severity.
Additionally, QRX003 was well tolerated without any reported adverse events, and patients are expected to continue treatment, with further assessments planned at the 24-week mark. These encouraging results position the study as a potential breakthrough for pediatric peeling skin syndrome, a rare genetic condition that currently has no approved treatment.

Announcement
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. announces additional highly positive clinical data from its ongoing Investigator Pediatric Netherton Syndrome (NS) study.
AI Summary
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. announced additional positive clinical data from its ongoing Investigator Pediatric Netherton Syndrome study. In the trial, a pediatric patient showed almost completely healed skin after 6 weeks of daily whole-body application of QRX003. The improvements highlight the durability of treatment as the patient did not require previously needed medications such as antibiotics, antivirals, antihistamines, or glucocorticoids. Moreover, the patient’s severe pruritus was almost entirely eliminated, resulting in uninterrupted sleep—a significant breakthrough given the chronic itch and sleep disturbances typical of Netherton Syndrome.
These promising results indicate that QRX003 may be addressing the root causes of the disease rather than merely providing symptom relief. Furthermore, approval has been received to begin whole-body testing on a second pediatric patient, with plans to expand the study further to include additional subjects.

Announcement
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. announced it has filed U.S. and International patent applications for novel topical rapamycin (sirolimus) formulations as potential treatments for a number of rare diseases including microcystic lymphatic malformations, venous malformations and angiofibromas.
AI Summary
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. announced it has filed U.S. and international patent applications for new topical formulations of rapamycin (sirolimus). These formulations are being developed as potential treatments for several rare conditions, including microcystic lymphatic malformations, venous malformations, and angiofibromas. The company is using its proprietary Invisicare delivery technology, which is designed to improve the drug’s penetration deep into the dermis. By enhancing local delivery, Quoin aims to overcome past challenges that led to underperformance in clinical settings with other topical rapamycin products.
Quoin believes that combining rapamycin with this optimized delivery system may offer a more effective option for patients suffering from these rare diseases. The company also plans to move forward with regulatory submissions and clinical development for at least two of these indications later this year, potentially addressing an unmet need in current treatment options.

Announcement
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. announces further clinical evidence of the potential efficacy of QRX003 in Netherton Syndrome.
AI Summary
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. has announced new clinical evidence showing the potential effectiveness of its topical treatment, QRX003, in patients with Netherton Syndrome. In an ongoing open-label study, the first patient treated with QRX003 twice daily demonstrated clear improvements in skin symptoms during the 12-week treatment period. However, four weeks after stopping the treatment, all positive clinical benefits were completely reversed, with the patient’s condition returning to baseline levels. These findings support the idea that QRX003 works as a competitive broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor by mimicking the function of the LEKTI protein, which is missing in Netherton Syndrome patients. The rapid reversal of benefits emphasizes that ongoing, chronic treatment with QRX003 may be necessary to maintain its effectiveness in managing the disease. This data adds to the growing clinical evidence backing QRX003 as a promising potential treatment for Netherton Syndrome.

Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. announces additional positive interim clinical data from one of its ongoing Netherton Syndrome clinical studies.
AI Summary
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd recently announced additional positive interim clinical data from its ongoing Netherton Syndrome study. In this open-label trial, one subject who received twice-daily dosing of QRX003 showed clear improvements across all measured endpoints after 12 weeks of treatment. The clinical data revealed marked improvements on several scales, including a significant reduction in the Modified Ichthyosis Area of Severity Index (M-IASI) and the Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WINRS), with the Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) showing a shift from a moderate rating at baseline to almost clear by the end of the study.
The study also noted increased patient satisfaction over time, and importantly, no safety concerns were reported. Photographs that display the improved skin appearance are available on Quoin’s website, further supporting the potential of QRX003 as a treatment for Netherton Syndrome.
