A Study of Topical NS2 Cream to Treat Ichthyosis in Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS)
- Conditions
- Sjögren-Larsson Syndrome
- Interventions
- Drug: Active topical NS2 1% dermatologic creamDrug: Vehicle placebo 0.0% NS2 dermatologic cream
- Registration Number
- NCT02402309
- Lead Sponsor
- Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc.
- Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled, parallel-group study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetic (PK), and exploratory activity of topically-applied NS2 dermatologic cream administered once-daily (QD) to subjects with ichthyosis secondary to Sjögren- Larsson Syndrome (SLS).
NS2 is expected to trap fatty aldehydes that are pathogenic in SLS patients, and thereby diminish the lipid-aldehyde adduct formation that likely results in ichthyosis associated with SLS, and potentially reduce the mild dermal inflammation characteristic of SLS.
