简要总结
The main objectives of the study were to evaluate the safety and tolerability of afamelanotide by measuring treatment emergent adverse events (AEs) and to determine whether afamelanotide can improve the quality of life of EPP patients.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Quality of Life Measured Using the EPP-quality of Life Questionnaire (EPP-QoL).
时间窗: Baseline, Day 60, Day 120, Day 180 or early termination (ET) (if applicable)
The EPP-QoL is presented as 15 questions aiming at measuring how the condition has affected the patient over the last 2 months. Each question is answered on a categorical scale. The maximum score is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 100 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.
Change in Quality of Life Measured Using the Dermatology Life Quality Index Questionnaire (DLQI)
时间窗: Baseline, Day 60, Day 120, Day 180 or early termination (ET) (if applicable)
The DLQI questionnaire consists of 10 questions, each answered on a categorical scale. The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.
